As the new interim coach, his main concern will be to right the ship. Finding minutes for a 16 yr old prospect will be well down his list, no matter how promising he is. He would have to be an absolute world-beater to force himself into the first team anytime soon. Approve My Account Pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedges and Rosted can't stay consistently healthy, Laryea's in Houston (presumably). He's a starter for the second team and just signed a contract with them. Don't think it's that far-fetched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Signed a short term agreement for today’s game. I haven’t heard on O’Neil’s status for the game but Hedges and Rosted are both out, along with Laryea who’s played CB this season.

Dominic94 Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Wouldn’t be surprised if he makes his debut if they’re down late or even starts. Dunfield has spoken highly of him. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer21 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 On the bench. O’Neill and Mabika starting. He’s really the only defender on the bench though so it’s possible he gets in. canuckgbp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckgbp Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 He looks small…. Then I remember who he is playing beside… 6’6” Mabika lol. Listed at 6’1” from the more recent data I could find. johnyb, narduch, YorkRegionFan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack1997 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Never seemed out of position, looked better than Rosted and O’Neill have looked all year but that’s not hard to do. YorkRegionFan, h coach, Dominic94 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack1997 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) I overreact, I know it but if he can get more games maybe a few starts and a lot of bench appearances I think he deserves a NT call, if we’re calling up Bombito after 5 games a 16 year old kid deserves it too. Right now this appearance immediately sends him to the top of the CB prospect Tier list, Maybe Europe soon? Maybe that “Tier 1 CB” we’ve been looking for? All this is speculation but if there’s one thing I know the so called “20 million” TFC want for JMR is much more likely to be coming from Stefanovic and Franklin.

canuckgbp Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Dunfield coaches TFC’s u17 I believe. If anyone can appropriately manage his minutes this year it’s him. Good debut. Now he just has to string them together. Mabika is inked in, but that other CB slot is wide open. edit- wide open in that Hedges can’t stay healthy.

Dominic94 Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 I had said it, Dunfield knows his academy boys and speaks highly of them. We have U-18 players who can play and are ready but they need support, patience and chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit for Spelling error) Bolded the key point above. I did like his game though. Good debut, in particular for a 16 year old. I'm interested to see how he does in his next appearance.
