My hope was for us to get a point per match out of this road trip. Hope. I'd still be alright with six points, although it's less than ideal. Three points out of this stretch would be pretty bad.

Toronto FC baby...best team everrrrrrrrrr -Jozy
Okay, TFC is now at the 1/4 point of the season and they're on track to be a lower-table team with 38 points by the end of the season. I honestly can't see them being that bad, so I expect this second quarter of the season to be a better indication of where they are as a team, and how good. Then again, by the halfway point of the season, Bez had better have some mid-season reinforcements or else he isn't doing his job.
the rest of the season is going to get worse and worse. I have no faith in Bez or Vanney.Originally Posted by Initial B
Well we'll be there to try and talk you off the ledge, man.

Well, that's much better. TFC is past the halfway point and would appear to be on target to end the season with about 51 points. Regardless of anything else, that should be good enough for a playoff spot. But based on their ppg pace the this past quarter, I think they could conceivably end up with 54 points - assuming no July/August slump that they suffered last year.
Then again, they still don't have Bradley back or the rumored CB that will shore up the defence... Perhaps even 57 points are possible?
The fact that reinforcements on the backline are coming in, that Bradley and Altidore probably won't get called up for the September/October international dates, and that 10 of our last 14 are at home means the sky is the limit at this point.
Taking our home and away records into account and how many home and away games we have left, we're on pace for 53 points. We have a home PPG of 1.86 and an away PPG of 1.27. With 10 home games and 6 road games left (if I counted properly), that's 18.5 home points and 7.5 home points, for a total of 26 points in our remaining games and a total of 53 points
Well, the team is into the home stretch and are on track to finish with between 48-49 points. I get the feeling that we're in for a nail-biter of a finish to the season.
Welp, the season's over and as expected, TFC was on the bubble with 49 points as predicted. To me this is the same situation as last year. The only reason they're in the playoffs is the league added a playoff position and moved Sporting KC and Houston to the Western Conference to make room for two expansion teams in the East. Otherwise they don't make it.
This off-season, Front Office, for the love of Pete, *please* get an experienced GK and CB. I think those are the main acquisitions they need to make the next step to be a great team.
Wins in wk 33 and 34 would have put TFC on 55, right on target for the group prediction and 2nd in the East. That stings. I picked 44-47, overly pessimistic as usual.
Hey second year in a row that I predicted the final points dead on.
Hey somebody just voted on this poll today. Doesn't seem quite fair.
Same prize this year
Could you use your powers for good tonight, please?
