Bison44 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 They seem to be getting the priorities straight and tightening things up in the back. Onkony and Bjortheun are decent although Bjorntheum is not really a prospect anymore at 23. Dunn and Boskovic are getting better. Mino is alot better than Waja, and his penalty was a harsh call. Overall a nice performance condsidering NYRB's vaunted academy/youth system and that they are at the top of the table in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Bjornethun is an American who came over from Portland Timbers 2 who I'm pretty sure were the worst in the west last year. Bjornethun can take throw-ins from the 30 yard line and put them into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Robin Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 TFC II's game against Charlotte this Saturday the 19th was bounced around to right out of town! Originally scheduled for BMO Field the night after the MLS game on Friday. Moved to Monarch Park (can lightning strike twice? doubtful they could pull in 4100 students again on a Saturday night) then cancelled on Ticketmaster. Latest news on the USL website is it's been moved to Charlotte where TFC II lost in their official road game 2-0 back in March. Oh well the north-south subway isn't running this weekend anyway so I may drive in the other direction and catch a League 1 Ontario game with my new cataract-free eyes.

Jith12 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sooooo... we just lost 5-4 to ATL II. The good: We scored goals. Not 1... not 2... not 3... BUT 4! That's more goals scored in one game than we've scored in total all season so far! The bad: We let in 5. That pretty much sums up our season so far.

Gian-Luca Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Interestingly TFC II played their TFC III keeper, my namesake Gian-Luca Catalano. Didn't have a chance on the two free kick goals ATL @ scored (by Mike Ambrose who has played a dozen games at the MLS level). Romario Williams also scored for ATL 2 (the Jamaican national teamer who scored the winner against Canada in the Gold Cup last year). Luca Uccello got 2 of TFC 2's goals (and I think took the team scoring lead in the process) with Akinola and Daniels getting the other. Daniels assisted on what was tap-in for Akinola and then drew a PK with an individual dribbled and scored on the subsequent PK. Akinola assisted on both of Uccello's goals. I'm assuming Ben Spencer has been called up to the big team this Friday to help cover at the striker position with both Altidore & Giovinco out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 May 26, 2018 Toronto FC II 2 Tampa Bay Rowdies 4 Attendance listed on the USL site as 141 (one hundred and forty one) on this beautiful afternoon. My take on the game (uhhhh awkward...) will in theory show up on Waking The Red in a day or so. I have to write a different recap on my own site. Tomorrow I'm off to League 1 Ontario Cup game matches. WTR has same rules for them too! Could be midweek before I'll have anything on my own site...

Bison44 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Well the team hasnt won, but if you look at the overall goal of moving players on to the first team, it hasnt been too bad. Fraser and Telfer are useful subs/bench players with potential. Daniels, Dunn, Boskovic and Romeo are getting lots of minutes and might be ready to make the jump sooner rather than later. Maybe the MLS "farm clubs" will move on down to USL 3 when it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Yeah Daniels, Dunn-Johnson, and Noble Okello Ayo are away at the U-23 Toulon Tournament and got Canada into first place in their group. I haven't read anyone complaining about the good showing of Canada. Where do those players come from? Club teams like TFC II. Good enough for the Olympic team.

Brazilero Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 They should have never gave the team to Guyot. Bent was the right person for this position. Development and winning is possible and should be expected at TFC. Anything less is not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deschamp86 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Guyot was definitely worse, but Bent certainly didn't seem to be the answer, based on results alone they never improved with him at the helm for three years. Its very difficult to assess how good he was at developing players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Very hard to judge, but players have moved on to the big club. It has to be like walking a tight rope. Vanney/management want you to feature players they have brought in (draft picks/signings) to evaluate them and you need to bring academy kids along to uncover any gems there. Plus the fans want you to win games or else you get labelled a "dumpster fire" with no real purpose and the whole thing gets shit canned or outsourced to the US. Here's hoping TFC2 can win a few games at least. Oh and more good news, a new non-canadian keeper (spanish) is coming to town. UT will be able to tell us more about the Spanish clubs (even a Basque club?) he has been with, but most recently with RGV toros in USL. https://www.torontofc.ca/post/2018/06/07/toronto-fc-ii-sign-borja-angoitia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilero Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Bent had too much interference from the first team. Was not able to really work on development due to first team players getting first dibs on playing and they were not always happy to play down. Bad situation for any coach. Guyot did not have to contend with that as much and still did very poorly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 This is the case for all second teams. It really highlights how good a coach Alan Koch was, to take VWFC2 to the WC finals when he was coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Akinola scores his 4th of season of a beauty cross from Campbell. Fraser pulling the strings in midfield. 1-1 vs eastern leading FC cincy. Maybe long suffering TFC2 can get their first win of the season?? Live now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 they were down 3-1 at the half....now 3-3. Great goals from Boskovic (made up for a goal) and Hamilton with a screamer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great goals from Boskovic (made up for a goal) and Hamilton with a screamer! And he was unlucky not to get the winner with a header off the post. The goal he got was incredible technique on his part. Also Telfer's free kick and set piece skills were a bit of a revelation. I only saw the second half but TFC2 were easily the better team in that half. Gareth Wheeler is one hell of a homer play by play man though - up there with Fred Cusick of Boston Bruin infamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 This is worth a look for those of you that haven't seen it yet. Great pass to start the play off - basically he should be credited with an assist on his own goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
