Unless Toronto FC starts to turn things around – and quickly – the Canadian club is destined to miss the playoffs for a sixth straight season. 

TFC (3-7-8) sits 12th in the Eastern Conference, three spots and six points below the playoff line, while mired in a 12-game winless skid in league play (13 games in all competitions).
