Sigurd Rosted playing a key role in TFC's defensive turnaround
"I feel this year has been my best year here by far. ... I feel I’ve had a strong, strong year,” the Norwegian told TFC Republic.
Toronto FC is on course to miss the playoffs and it could become official as early as this weekend.
A loss in Saturday’s road contest vs. the New England Revolution would officially eliminate the Reds from playoff contention with five matches remaining in the regular season.
It’s not too hard to understand why TFC (5-13-10), who currently sit 13th out of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference, are on the brink of a fifth straight playoff-less campaign. Goal scoring has been a major issue for Toronto, who is tied with Real Salt Lake for the second worst attack in MLS (28 goals in 28 games).
Theo Corbeanu leads the team in scoring with a modest tally of five goals, just ahead of Jonathan Osorio and Deandre Kerr (three goals each). No other current member of the roster has scored more than one goal – Sigurd Rosted, Alonso Coello and Jules-Anthony Vilsaint have a goal apiece.
