It comes down to this.

If we tie, we get a home playoff game (against either NER or Montreal or DCU) as we will have more points then the Impact and the Revs could not catch us based on our superior wins total.

Believe it or not, only 2 teams in this league have more wins then us so far this season - NYRB & Dallas.

If we win, we get a home playoff game and we are in with a shot at second and the bye but its going to take some help from both Chicago this week and DCU next week to do that - i.e. unlikely.

If we lose, we will be playing away to who knows. (unlikely Montreal)

See you boys in Montreal. It will be an epic away trip to be a part of. See you all there. Unfortunately we can't beat Montreal out of the play offs but we gotta beat them in standings!!! See you in the stands while chanting and jumping together!!!

.......

We can still be 4th if we lose, if neither DCU and NE win again, and DCU doesn't get two ties. EDIT: DCU won today so this is no longer possible.

If we win or draw, the odds that we host Montreal the following Wed/Thurs are quite high. Much as I would like the bye, I am kind of rooting for that, so could live with the draw!

(It's possible that, if we lose, we go back to Montreal. It's kind of remote - Montreal would most likely finish third then - but for us to finish 6th, DCU and NE would have to go past us too, with one of DCU or Columbus going past Montreal, ie there needs to be a result in DCU/Columbus game.)

If you look at the records of the majority of clubs across the league, home field advantage is a significant factor.

I like our chances away against anybody but NER. I know they've lost some home games of late but that stadium is a bug a boo for us. I'd take us in an away to CBus or DCU. Away to Montreal would be a glorious slugfest but I can't see that happening.

where / I spoke with him by chance and actually both of us where scratching our heads at the protection he gets from refs versus Gio . He simply was dismayed about how Drogba got away with murder ....and how to stop him . The ONLY way we will stop Drogba is when he scores 1 we score 2 ...Our D can't handle him . Jackson will drive him crazy though and hopefully the ref is fair .

I think its a 3-2 TFC win with Drogba and Giovinco running the entire show.

Bring on the derby!

We now have these possibilities:


A tie Plus a DCU win over Columbus and we finish 3rd to play either Montreal or NER at home.

A tie Plus a DCU/Columbus tie or a Columbus win and we finish 4th and either play Montreal or NER at home.

A win Plus a DCU win over Columbus or a Columbus win and we finish 3rd and play either Montreal or NER at home.

A win Plus a DCU/Columbus tie and we finish 2nd.

A loss and we finish either 5th or 6th and play the first round away and the possibilities there are just way too many to discuss.

OgtheDim
10-18-2015, 03:30 PM
And, for a moment, lets examine Montreal's motivation here


A win and Montreal finish 3rd, playing either us or NER

A tie or a loss and Montreal finishes 5th or 6th


So, yup, they will be motivated.

In essence, winner gets a home game. If we tie, we also get a home game.

Montreal has been very good at home, and they're healthy. A win is going to be a tall order. With Drogba and Piatti in form, we are going to have to score a few goals to earn a result in this one.

Detroit_TFC
10-19-2015, 08:19 AM
The tall order for 2nd is not just getting a win and seeing a draw in Columbus - need to overcome DCU's GD too. Their stomping of Chicago hurt us double (pts and GD). Need +2 at least (we have third tie breaker, GF).

It's not impossible, which makes it worse in some ways.

At least playoffs are a given, but an away game and out in DC would not be very satisfying.

ManUtd4ever

Even if we lose the final game, 15 wins should be more than enough to be near the top of the standings. It's our defensive acumen and sub par goalkeeping that has held us back. If some of those losses were converted to draws, our record would be far more impressive.

Ya that Columbus loss was a huge set back. I herd the odds of winning on the road in MLS are lower then in any other sport here in North America (MLB ,NHL ,NBA ,NFL) and not to mention I think Toronto has been one of the worst records in all of MLS when playing on the road, even this year playing a decent season, most of our wins still came at home, and most of our loses on the road. And if anyone remembers some games this year we haven't just lost 1-0 and 2-1 games on the road, we have lost some awful matches like 3-0 followed by a 3-1 loss the next week. I am very worried about this Montreal game on Satuday as we are against a rather strong team (Since Drogba joined the team) and the fact if we lose we are not playing our first playoff game at home. Meaning odds Toronto may not even get a playoff game at all this year at BMO field.

Fingers crossed for TFC this weekend or the playoff game, but I am very nervous going into this.

ah, skipped over his comment. yes, it's pretty middle of the road for MLS. The red Bulls for instance, have only won one more win away from home then we have. The Galaxy have only won two of their sixteen games away from home.

given the circumstances of the game, I'm throwing context out of the window in this one. We shouldn't expect or be surprised by any result.

Agree 100% I have been saying it for weeks! I can't see how Delgado keeps playing, he is very young so I am not saying give up on him, but that's enough with these constant starts. At this point he is a sub end of story. Not only does he start every game he RARELY gets subbed off. It's actually crazy how many minutes he has gotten. Warner is the better option and Gomez / Findley if we need some attacking flare. This should be our lineup through the playoffs:

Altiore-Giovinco
Osorio-Bradley-Warner
Cheyrou
Morrow-Khantari-Williams-Jackson
Konopka

Delgado had a great game vs. NYRB and then, like everybody else, looked bad against Columbus.

That having been said, I'd rather see Warner out there as this is going to be hard nosed hard fought physical game. Warner has quietly become our enforcer and I think he works well with Jackson.

Yeah looks like no rain at gametime, but it still is friggin cold.

The reds need to win this game at all costs. Last time these 2 teams played, toronto was very lucky to win because Oduro missed all those sitters. I hope to see a better performance today.

Sounds fair , AND on our D , who stops Drogba ? He either controls us or we get a penalty trying . He will create space for Piatti . Quite the problem . On the other hand , do both coaches actually want a win ? It could be a teasing game of boredom . Hopefully not .

10 bad minutes. Besides that this game was ours.

Gonna enjoy eliminating them in their own building.

Unfortunately it'll have to be in theirs.

We only qualified because they expanded the playoffs. We can't win a big game when it counts. Biggest payroll in the league. Orlando - expansion team only a few points behind.

You're in Lala dreamland if you think we will win mid-week away against anyone when it counts.

8 years to wait for TFC to get into the playoffs. 8+ years to wait to see TFC play a playoff game at home. #fml

The league wants us to get a home playoff game, and I think partially because of that we will beat Limpact in the mid-week game.

Beyond that, good luck with NYRB.

Some of you sound crazy - we want playoffs, now we don't have a home game and we fire people? I'm glad you aren't my bosses!

Good thing the league changed the rules this year, or we wouldn't have playoffs.

If you are satisfied with this season then you are absolutely positively fucked in the head

Getting eliminated by Montreal of all teams? We better win.

two huge chances to tie that up - Bradley missing a sitter off the bar and Altidore slow as molasses in the yard box.

Bezbetchenko and Vanney's failure to sort out the centreback positions have blown this season.
