Forge FC - 2024 Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Looking forward to bundling up in February, but wonder what this team will look like. It could be very different, or maybe almost the same. Players I could see possibly moving on: Bekker, James, Choiniere, Borges, Badibenga, Jonsson, Pacius. I have no inside info, but it feels like all these guys could be either looking at retirement, or taking a shot somewhere else to get a chance at moving up. Will Bobby be around? I would guess he will be. I just don't see him fitting with the national team. But maybe some other club opportunity will arise. He has nothing else to achieve in this league.

If Smyrniotis goes to the national team, does Edgar go with him, or become Forge's new manager?

New manager. He looked to me to be running the team instead of Bobby the last Forge match in Langley. 100% was being groomed for it.

CPL league champion. Are any Forge players ready for a move to a higher level? MLS, for example?  I would ask the same question regarding Cavalry as runners up. I like Musse as a candidate.

IMO Paccius is the prime candidate: enough experience to have a track record of good seasons and yet young enough that he could still progress quite significantly in MLS and be sold again for a profit to an even higher level of play.

I think the team sees Poku as the young player with a higher ceiling. Wouldn't be surprised to hear he is trialling again in Europe this off-season. I like Pacius's contributions and I think he could increase his production in the CPL, but I'm not sure he has the tools to make it in MLS. Have to think James will be trying to get a chance somewhere. Probably Klomp as well.  The window is probably closed for most of Forge's key contributors (Borges, Choiniere, Campbell, Jonsson, Samuel, Sissoko). Out of the younger players, I don't see Hojabrpour moving up. I used to think Metusala might have a shot, but he didn't really stand out this season. If Rama could improve his decision making, I think he has the skills and physical ability to move up.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, it's a bit of a mark against Smyrniotis and the organization as a whole that none of their players have ever made the jump to a higher level.
