dyslexic nam Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 No goals or assists in today’s win but Colyn was the second highest rated player on the team (behind the MotM - who was a goal scoring defender). They are in 5th place but only 3 points off 1st place. Seems like he is putting together a really solid season in a team that may be fighting for promotion. costarg, phresh, toontownman and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to forget that he was a pretty hyped MLS prospect at one point. He may not have been the sort of instant phenom they were hoping for but he is on track to build a really respectable career - and could easily end up becoming a CMNT player. If he manages to force his way into the Dutch top flight, he would have to be in the mix for a spot. Hell, we keep hoping for a really effective CAM and a guy like Colyn could end up being the answer. johnyb, Borjans Sweatpants, Bertuzzi44 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasi Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 He is plugging away in Holland. Hope he gets some 1st flight games next season. Would be noce to see him in 26. dyslexic nam, Corazon and Borjans Sweatpants 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like that "passing the torch" publicity spin sub debut replacing Davies in his last game for the club. Though he impressed in that very brief stint, I think it ratcheted up expectations far too much of what he could do at that age and level of physical maturity. When nothing happened for him in the following season under the new coaching staff on a squad that ended up second worst in MLS that year, it led to far too quick a write off of him by several observers. It's great to see things are trending upward now. I am very happy to see him doing well and I really hope that he progresses into our NT squad. Keep it rolling, Simon!

Which reinforces the idea that VWFC does a poor job working with young Canadian players. Colyn did better after he left. Edited November 11, 2023 by Stoppage Time Add a line.

They gave him training, opportunities, and then let him find his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Yeah, for me the best (realistic) outcome would be helping them win promotion and then continuing to grow to the point where they retain him on the first team. johnyb and Canuckia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Currently has a goal in their 4-0 dismantling of 2nd-last-placed FC Den Bosch. He must be having a pretty strong 2 way game as he is the highest rated player on his team despite his midfield counterpart having a goal and an assist. That may get adjusted in the final rating reconciliation but it definitely seems like he is having another strong showing. Definitely another guy I wish we had the resources to get into more regular camps - even if they are "B" events. lowlander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
