VMP 2016 Final Countdown #1: Jozy Altidore
Mark: 1 – Quite the tale of two halves and I’m a sucker for a redemption story. On May 15th, a game against Vancouver, the version of Jozy Altidore, the one that was brutal and had the “press” coming to his defense, hit a new low. Perhaps even a bottom. Goal drought, down by two, gets a penalty saved then pulls up lame and while he was off the pitch and Babouli waiting to be announced as his substitute, Toronto pulls one...

VMP 2016 Final Countdown #8: Jonathan Osorio
Mark: 8 – One. Touch. Legend. Osorio had a mid-season epiphany that seemed to be documented by the Vocal Minority.

Others, it was needing to settle the ball before having a go. His confidence to “pull the trigger”, be it shoot or pass, was often...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #12: Nick Hagglund
Mark: 18 – Fell to obscurity and then fought back into the starting eleven right at the end of the season. They haven’t quite beat the forward out of him and I’m perfectly fine with that. Ah, Nick “The Salmon” Hagglund. The defender who thought he might be a forward, then had that beaten out of him, came back to solidify himself as a starter and then scored a header where he smashed his entire body through that to...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #16 – Marky Delgado
Mark: 13 – Inconsistent. Some games he looked great, others pedestrian. Is he going to be a starter? He is. No wait, he’s not, but he is. We’ll say a mix of beneficiary of injuries and a victim of the rotation but by the end of the season, he was often one of the first sacrifices on the substitution carousel, but started often. Earlier in the season, he came off the bench to score in the first game of the season and looked...
