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...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #17 – Jordan Hamilton
Kristin: 21 – Showed well in the summer when the team was struck by injury, still waiting for his breakout moment. Wow I put Jordan at 21? Actually I’m good with that – though I could have easily put him a bit higher, his ranking is less on his quality than on his playing time. I like Hamilton, he’s local, he’s got some skill and he’s been brought along through Toronto FC’s academy –...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #18: Jay Chapman
Duncan: 14 – Showed glimpses of talent, then crucially got a long run of games and once he seemed settled in and believed that he belonged there he looked very very good indeed. It’d be a gamble to try him as the creative midfielder TFC need rather than bringing someone else in, but I wouldn’t be against Vanney and co trying that next year. Going into the season, TFC seemed to have built themselves a decent first...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #19: Tsubasa Endoh
Tony: 16 – More promising than Tokyo railway station vending machine panties For the Vocal Minority crew, Endoh was going to be a success no matter what. He’s from Japan! We’ve not had a Japanese fella here! VENDING MACHINE PANTIES!!! Seriously, if you drew a picture of “Japanese Football Player 1.0” it’s Endoh. Slight build? Check. Wacky faux-mullet hair-do? Bingo. Associated anime character? Oh yeah. From the future? Probably....
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #20 – Josh Williams
Tony: 20 – Just kind of drifted off into the ether after a useful 2015 Bloodclot! Was a former health concern of Josh Williams. Despite 24 appearances in 2016, it’s almost like Josh Williams wasn’t here. As the younger duo of Hagglund and Zavaleta improved and moved into the starter’s roles, Williams gradually shifted further down the bench. Much like over coagulated blood in veins – he had trouble breaking through. As the...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #21: Ashtone Morgan
Kristin: 16 – The nasty leftback that always seems to get left back. Huge fan, think his conversion to winger can’t come soon enough. I’ve been a fan of Ashtone Morgan since his academy days and was thrilled when he joined the first team back in 2011. In the early years he saw a fair amount of time and was the de facto leftback for TFC; and each year I kept hoping that this time it’d be his breakout year. He...
