Nine Stripes Podcast: Talking with PFCOntario

Brym's club lost both legs 2-1 and will not be promoting.  He went 87 minutes today.

For the CMNT, the fact that Larin will get regular playing time leading up to the WC is a plus, it's  got to be a disappointment for his soccer progression and a move to a higher level/league.  

The Athletic had an article on Wolves young players. Theo got a decent mention behind 4 other players   Theo Corbeanu may have played at a lower level, but his prospects of eventually playing regularly for Wolves remain. The 20-year-old enjoyed an eventful first season of league football, playing 18 times for Sheffield Wednesday and 17 for MK Dons. It was a truncated spell at Wednesday under Darren Moore where he ended up at wing-back, leading to the switch to Buckinghamshire in January where, initially, he was flying high and loving life as a marauding right winger. Dons fans took Canadian flags to matches, they sang his name; life was great. Then in early February he was left out the side and struggled to get back in as MK Dons went on a run of 10 wins and three draws. Corbeanu only started three of their final 16 games, but anyone who saw him dance, torture and cajole his way around Wycombe’s defenders with a man-of-the-match display in the second leg of their League One play-off last week will agree that manager Liam Manning might regret not playing him a little more in those final weeks as MK Dons fell short of promotion. Corbeanu, the Canada winger, had loans at Sheffield Wednesday and MK Dons in League One (Photo: Pete Norton/Getty Images) Corbeanu has the talent, technique and trickery to go to the top, but now needs to develop his all-round team game and add some more end product. He also needs to play regularly to earn a spot in Canada’s World Cup squad this winter. Wolves hope for either a Championship loan or something exciting overseas next season.

Bet this contract was signed a few weeks ago. Lines up with him all of a sudden starting again

Larin starting for Besiktas v Konyaspor  Atiba on the bench . Last game of the season 

Not on the bench today for his clubs last match of the season. Wonder if he will suffer the same fate as Ongaro and will be a free agent 

You seem pretty "plugged in" @Footyeh so who am I to argue, but I'm surprised you're not including Goodman, Abatneh, Pellegrino, Dias (assuming he wants to play).  And isn't Ben Alexander ahead of Max Anchor in the Whitecaps depth chart?

2 big names?  Jebbison and ....... who am I forgetting?

An off game for a lot of players and the ref. This usually means the follow up game will be better. Interestingly, Pacific now have 5 wins when Dada-Luke plays and 2 draws and a loss (no goals scored either) when he doesn't. By no means is he carrying the team but he offers an extra element in the attack and Bustos is really good at getting him involved.
