Dub Narcotic Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 You have to think that Toronto will try to get Adonijah Reid in the fold for this year although Reshon Phillip had a good year between L10 and his few USL stints as well.

Coramoor Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I may be mistaken but I thought Reshon Phillip had signed with TFC2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 That's the newest roster update above and he's listed as on loan from the academy. I don't recall seeing anything about him being signed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coramoor Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 May have just been an assumption based on his strong 2 games in USL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM2 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Mark-Anthony Kaye signs with Louisville City FC, shows the value of the 2 teams, gives opportunities to player to continue playing while opening up other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coramoor Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Alex Bono looked better although still a bit shaky when it came to handling the ball and overall poor distribution, several solid positional saves though. Anthony Osorio was shredded multiple times by Etienne on the left side. He also fouled Etienne leading to a penalty which was eventually converted Taintor and Thomas were solid as a CB pairing. Bloom looked fantastic and ready to go again in MLS. Mannella was absolute crap, worst player on the field in my opinion, constant turnovers, poor passing, poor defending, just a mess. James and the other CM whose name I forget and who doesn't seem to be on the website roster played well. The front 3 of Bernal, Babouli and Edwards were very strong individually although tended to get disconnected from each other leading to a lot of individual efforts, most of which were easily taken away although all three players had some fantastic runs. The first goal was a thing of beauty, https://youtu.be/x17s_aEP-xs?t=42m34s Ultimately a great start to the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Nice result against one of the better 2015 teams. Edwards is certainly headed towards a senior team contract, I'm surprised he was not with the U-20's in the U.K. The CM might have been Brian James, the draftee they just signed, or Aidian Daneils, the academy guy they loaned up for this game with all the absences.

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I actually remember you from being at North York Rockets games in the old CSL now I have seen a picture, which maybe says something about how small the crowds tended to be (i.e. in the dozens rather than hundreds or thousands).

Dub Narcotic Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 4 points out of 6 to start the season after winning 2-1 in Montreal, not too shabby. They are still operating like last year with a lot of academy call-ups and always using all of the subs that hurt the flow of their game, but it's worked so far. We'll see if they can play as well against the independent clubs. The difference from last year seems to be that the core of the team is a lot more settled. Thomas and Taintor have locked down the center of defence along with Bono and players like Bouchard (moved up to CM), Bernal and Edwards have really improved from last year. I think Edwards is a lock for a senior contract especially with how weak the wing positions are on the first team. Two of the best goals in TFC2 history tonight as well: https://streamable.com/hlwe https://streamable.com/lldj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and I wouldn't be that hyped up on TFC2 from what I saw. TFC2 did not really play very well except for those two exceptional individual plays that they scored on. It was not a very well played game overall, both teams seemed to not play many MLS team players and it had a youth team flavour as opposed to the last Impact game against Bethleham. 1st half was fairly even but the Impact really dominated the 2nd half but poor finishing did them in. The Impact basically lost the individual impressive goal contest 2-1. If Johnson, Edwards and Tabla can produce feats like this for the national team in the near future then our goal scoring woes may be over. Still the overall play was disappointing despite those 3 impressive goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 I did watch from about 35' on. I agree that neither team played that well but last year's TFC2 would have given up a lot more chances and probably goals. Like I mentioned, we'll see how they do against some of the better teams in the league going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCM's big problem this year so far is Riggi is injured and we don't have anyone else who can replace him. I have been impressed by Salazar in preseason with the first team and in the first FCM game but he did not have a great game yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Haggalund and Zavaleta going down to TFC!!. Wonder if this means Charpie or Thomas come up, or are they just trying to find playing time for Haggs/Zavaletta?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Probably just playing time. Hagglund is just not an MLS calibre CB. Don't know how he's still on the roster to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 TFC has too many center backs on their roster in general. Skylar Thomas is on a senior contract as is SImonin. When are those two going to ever see senior minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 2-2 final in the home opener against Pittsburgh (once again featuring a Toronto guy: Jordan Murrell). Bono screwed up on a dangerous free kick in extra time to let in the equalizer but then made a very nice save as both teams had great chances to win it at the death. Hagglund scored on a header and Edwards converted a penalty he drew for Toronto. Caught a fair bit of the game: the OSC was sold out with a great supporter section and TFC2 controlled a lot of the game, building very well through Bouchard and Edwards. Looking forward to Rocket Robin's report on the new OSC experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody's gotta go why bother, TFC is at 27 roster spots and capped out, best you'd get is a like for like replacement in terms of salary/playing quality, not worth too much at the moment.

Coramoor Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I only saw the first 70. Bono is still too indecisive in the box. Offensively we're going to cause a lot of problems with the insane speed but there definitely needs to be more link up between the forward 3. Otherwise it was a very positive, dominating performance for the most part. Their first goal was an impressive individual effort by Parkes even with the give and go. Far more enjoyable to watch than last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the ANB Futbol mailing list. He was at Marseille two years ago as well. This article says he was also at Lyon and went to Italy and Spain: http://www.yorkregion.com/sports-story/5831938-adonijah-reid-lighting-it-up-for-anb-futbol/ Pretty sure i read that Nice want him back to train with them, but don't have a link - i think it was an ANB email...
