Rocket Robin Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Tristan Henry for Forge goalie! Yes he is from Sigma but look at his GAA last season playing every league game! Interesting that left his back up Baj Mann without an L1O game (although he excelled from what I read at their U-21 games) but he went to the tryouts in Vaughan last Fall and made the final cut of ~20 from ~210 trialists. Goalkeeper # Name GP MIN GA YC RC GAA Triston Henry 16 1440 9 1 0 0.56 uh margin cut off. Yellow cards 1 Red cards 0 and most important: Goals against average...….0.56 Edited February 12, 2019 by Rocket Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you might be onto something with that on how the Sigma FC trend could be justified to higher up corporate types. If prior familiarity with a particular preferred system helps a team hit the ground running and win consistently during their first ten or so competitive games that could be the difference between a successful launch season and a close but no cigar one. Then when the culture of the club is very much in place, it's easier to integrate players from elsewhere from the summer transfer window onwards. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler453 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Is Forge even going to have a full team to start the season? Kind of lagging behind with 8 signings. Blackdude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a bit surprising......I was assuming they'd be the first to announce a complete roster but there's two months to go before the season starts and as of right now they will be forfeiting every game due to a lack of players signed.

No worries. Still lots of time to assemble a very good roster. As I mentioned in another thread, I get the impression they’re working on some major signings.

Edgar would definitely be an ideal fit. Last fall I heard a rumour that former Montréal Impact midfielder Louis Béland-Goyette was interested in signing with Forge FC. Last June he suffered a broken foot. Have no idea whether he is fit to play, but with 10 MLS appearances in the past 2 seasons including 4 starts last season, he would be a great signing for Forge.

They might be waiting to pick up late cuts from MLS and top independent USL franchise training camps. Richie Laryea for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Or they have most of their roster signed just like most of the CPL and they are just waiting on releasing names or finalizing contracts. There will be the odd late pick up for most teams, but I think every team would have close to 20 players "signed" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Kingue for example was going to sign for Forge, but didn’t impress during some trials a day or two ago. So they’re definitely still considering their options, defensively at least anyway.

He said they didn’t value him as a player after he spent weeks teasing he would join. I’m betting he has attitude problems, based in following him on social media for the last couple weeks.

Keep that sigma train rollin' Bobby Smyrniotis is definitely all in with that strategy now. Guess a bit like the Foothills for the Cavalty last summer they may have been using the Sigma L1O team to start putting the pieces together. Suspect Dominic Samuel would have had other options besides L1O after starting regularly for the Rhinos in USL in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Samuel_(soccer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Two more signings.. up to 12 players now. A Senegalese international with 12 caps and Johnny Grant. Impressive. With Cisse’s international experience it’s surprising this is his first trip outside of Senegal. gator and KW519 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a number of foreign clubs were looking to bring him in so this is a great get for the Forge staff.

Shortdutchcanuck Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Still think we need a proven goalscorer up front and a veteran centre back but other than that I really like how this roster is coming together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
