VMP Final Countdown. Number 21 – Steven Caldwell

  Highest Ranking: 15 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 20.84 Kristin: 20 *Not his fault in the end as the brass failed to realize his limitations for the year. Last proper leader on the backline we’ve had and while we won’t miss the ‘oh dear gods make him stop waving his arms!’, miss the leadership.*  Oh captain our (former) captain.  It never was going to happen for you this year was it?  It all...

VMP Final Countdown: Number 22- Jay Chapman

Highest Ranking 14 Lowest ranking 26 Average Ranking 20.89 Tony: 24. Jay “Chappers” Chapman – the guy TFC zoinked away from the SuperDraft in the nick of time. Despite a mere 202 minutes with the big club in 2015, it does seem like if any of the young Canadians (after Jonathan Osorio) are going to break into the side – it will be him. Splitting his time between TFC and TFC II, it’s clear that Chapman has...

VMP Final Countdown. Number 23 – Nick Hagglund

Highest Ranking 11 Lowest ranking 27 Average Ranking 20.89 Kristin: 24.  *My initial comment on the ranking was: ‘He’s never going to score a goal with these types of minutes. Never good enough to play much even with the backline desperation all season – not even when finally 100% healthy’, but as Nick is on my slate of players I’ll expand a bit.* Really it’s all Jozy Altidore’s fault.  If Nick Hagglund...

VMP Final Countdown. Number 24 – Warren Creavalle

Highest Ranking: 17 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average Ranking: 21.42 Duncan: 17. 2015 really wasn’t fair to Warren Creavalle. He’s a decent MLS depth level player, ideally a midfielder, who’d had a reasonably steady couple of years at Houston under Dominic Kinnear, and he came into the season as first choice right back.  Now he’s with Philadelphia Union and barely playing, an ending as ugly as those few right back...

Episode 115 – 15/11/26 #HesNotARightBack

Once again Mark’s hamstring keeps him out of the lineup, but the other 3 soldier on without him and with it being the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death (shut up! it was when we recorded), there’s Queen songs and references sprinkled throughout like cocaine on a midget. They discuss Canada’s game against El Salvador, various TFC bits and bobs, and complete their post season rankings with a long hard look at...
