Will Winter use the reserves for this match? Because even with first team, a draw is about the likely result, even though Rapids are hard hit with injury

Does it really matter who he plays at this point? There’s no system, no forward progress or momentum, and no distinct resolution.

At this point you just play out the games and hope that the franchise’s fortune turns before it’s fans do.

If I was winter I would make making the CONCAF CL my first priority, so yes, I would not mind fielding my depth players, give them a needed run.

The NCC Final should definitely be the priority. JDG is suspended, and Tchani and Peterson are doubtful due to injury. Assuming Gordon, Yourassowsky, and Zavarise are still injured as well, I'd go with this...

---------------Frei---------------

Eckersley--Williams--Cann--Borman

Gold---------Cordon--------Sturgis

Martina------Santos----Stevanovic

Hold for a draw, counter attack as necessary, conserve energy (playing at altitude).

I will forever love the club, but I've lost all faith. At this stage, I think we're lucky if we beat Vancouver at home next Wednesday and make the CCL preliminary qualifying round.

I'd like to see the depth players, but winter doesn't seem to do that, so I think there'll be a few changes.

I hope Cann get a rest though at least, his last couple of games have been weaker than usual, and he's been playing very game even since his rib injury.

Also would like to see martina and stevanovic get starts, see how they do to try and get their spots back.

as a coach you go out to win every game.colorado are in as bad shape as us, so go for the win and confound reality.any team in this league can be beatenon any given day.

as a coach you go out to win every game.

even if you don't mean it like i'm going to take it, i'm still going to step out and say that i've seen a lot of this around the boards and it is wrong.

like, it's completely, indefensibly wrong.

the goal of a coach is to manage his squad with the intent of maximizing the amount of points he has at the end of the season, and to acquire trophies. that's it. it is not to go full blast at every single game regardless of context.

if he sacrifices our national goddamn championship, as tin pot or mickey mouse or whatever dumb thing you want to call it as it may be, for even the rarest of all jewels, The Away Win, then he simply doesn't get it.

again, we have our first home cup final 3 days after this game, and we're in the drivers seat by the slimmest of margins. you can judge winter on acquisitions, formations, tactics, substitutions, or the cut of his suit during post-game interviews, but i'm going to judge him on his attitude towards the match on wednesday and the cup that is ours, and that should stay ours in perpetuity.

Love it. 100% right.

This match and the next will go a long way as far as my evaluation of Winter is concerned. I'm not overly concerned with the XI he puts out against Colorado, I'm sure he's well aware of the guys that are fit enough to go 90 on Sunday and 90 on Wednesday back to back. So long as our Wednesday lineup is stronger than our Sunday lineup.

I expect Winter to know the next match is more important than this one and I expect to see a more attacking, aggressive XI on Wednesday. If Winter meets my expectations on Wednesday, I'm prepared to give him my vote of confidence.

ended up being a pretty good day for TFC.

the 3 East vs West games all ended up with West coming away winners. And one of the two East vs East games was a draw, the other being Philly over Chicago which isn't all that bad either if you ask me.

team GP's are starting to even out but we're not losing any ground really.

I agree...I've said it before, its one thing if the leafs have their own specialty channel...they have a long history and huge fanbase. To put the majority of a 5 year old teams games on a specialty channel doesn't make much sense when your trying to brand a product to an audience that is yet to be gained, and to a weaning fanbase

No, that also is too funny - GOL has rights to this game so they're broadcasting it. You want to watch it, buy GOL. Simple as that.

Yeah and Im saying Id rather not watch it, Im putting as much effort into watching this team from now as the team is putting into keeping its fans.

But yeah you do come off as really smug.

If stating of fact means smugness to you, so be it. You said the following a few posts back:

"half an hour in and there isnt even a match thread, discussing the game taking place in Colorado. Its not like were all at the match is it?

This is the shape of things to come.

Night all."

Shouldn't you be going now?

Yeah we caught a bit of a break... at the same time he fucked himself over by diving the entire half ... when he actually got fouled for once and went into swan form nobody bought it.

the whole issue is why mlse decided to allot so many games to a specialty channel with quite limited access when the team "brand" is clearly declining and still needs to grow.

if even the supporters are reluctant to pay more on top of extortionate ticket prices to watch a shitty product, what do you think the casual fans are thinking?

Just goes to show the declining level of interest

Out of sight out of mind.

Part of the rise of TFC over the last couple years was because people would catch a game on a saturday afternoon on CBC and get interested in the entire atmosphere at the game they'd see. Spark enough interest and people would head on down to the game.

Now look at whats changed:

1) No games on "free" tv
2) Most games are now in the evening and competing with other sports - baseball, hockey playoffs, bball playoffs, etc
3) Atmosphere at games are being "modified" by FO. It's just not the same anymore

Thanks guys.

I'm not for a second going to pretend I disagree with you. But casual fans don't figure into the equation when it comes to GOL. The vast bulk of the GOL subscriber base is hardcore supporters.

Very true. If people can't actually see how poor our form is and do see that we squeaked into the playoffs somehow, automatically people will think "hey, maybe I missed something", and buy back in!

I would say hardcore supporters of soccer in general, probably enjoy watching any minute of soccer that they can, I highly doubt that TFC is a big pull factor onto that channel

well that's exactly what's puzzling me. what's their motivation for putting all these games on gol? TFC isn't exactly a hot brand in toronto right now, tickets aren't selling, bmo is never full.... but they remedy this by... restricting viewers? doesn't make much sense. besides, i'm not a huge bundesliga or la liga fan, and outside of these two + TFC, i don't find anything else of interest on GOL... so TFC does not justify the additional monthly fee i have to pay in addition to crazy ticket prices at BMO. highly doubt i'm of the minority in thinking this either.

Cann with a late tackle that saw his foot catch the opposing player while making a run in the box and taking him down. It was a PK! But dude has been simulating so..........

Actually, I decided to hang around a bit. Im glad you have a problem with that. We can have lots of problems if you want.

you werent just stating fact, you were being derisory because some people are disappointed that as the credibility of this team has fallen so too has the media interest and the coverage.

your opinion is 'whats the problem. just pay the money.' as if were electing not to pay because were cheap or freeloading types...that kind of thing

Without saying anything about you, its a snobby, smug, twatty opinion at that which disregards the base of the complaint, which is that the quality of this branded, media product has failed to improve over four years and dropped the ball with regards to generating a larger fanbase

While I don't mind paying the $3 I do mind not getting what they keep advertising and telling me that I get when I purchase the channel and that is HD FEEDS! Give me what you claim I'm paying for already!:picard:

Idon't think anyone is saying they object to the AMOUNT of money being charged. It's the simple fact that MLSE think they can get away with milking even more money out of us to watch their shitty product that is enraging to all. I would feel the same way if GOLTV was 25 cents a month.
