    This should be a fun one! A fired up, in form TFC against a high flying Orlando. And a chance for everyone to see Larin at home. Here we go!

    I'll say what I always say when we play them: TFC 3 Orlando 2, Larin with the brace.

    ^ That's not a bad prediction. Maybe one for Altidore, one for Giovinco, and Edwards potting his first goal late in the game to pull out the win?

    Big week this. Orlando (who are top of the league after making the most of a home heavy schedule) and then Seattle away

    I know there's gonna be tons of squad rotation but I think Delgado's should be favoured at CM over Oso and Cooper.

    It'll be interesting to see who sits when Moor eventually comes back too. Maybe one of Zav/Hag?

    Oh, and I forgot the Will Johnson's first visit back story line.

    Ugh. Toledo's the ref for this one.

    Nice match to watch.......first time in a while that I would say the opposition had the better of the midfield play but, contrary to the old axiom, the team that won midfield did not win the match....2-1 for the good guys on brace from Seba.

    Toledo seemed awful tonight - rarely do the people in 223 chant - but they did tonight for him.

    honestly, I don't think so....he was letting a lot of stuff go (both ways) and it was a classic BMO night where the fans jumped on every call against us that he let go and didn't notice anything wrong with the things he let go against Atlanta.

    The one call that I think he clearly got wrong was when Seba was hauled down in the 2nd half from behind....even the defender was surprised by that and I think he was "taking one for the team" and was ready to accept his foul and yellow....but other than that it seemed a pretty evenly reffed match....but, as I said, the evenness was biased towards letting physical play happen (guy I took to the match is more of a hockey guy and he even observed that this was the most physical match I had taken him to and that "the ref seems ok with it".

    Interesting question was asked yesterday during the match. When Moor comes back, does Morrow go back to his usual position or do they stick with Edwards at LM?

    I'll fully admit I'm not unbiased - and he let it get physical - my bigger issue was with the obvious handballs that weren't called and the escalating fouls he let slide he shouldn't've IMO.

    Stick with Edwards. How can you take him out with the way he's playing?

    Agreed.

    If they switch to 4 at the back, both can play. But Vanney seems to like a back 3. Perhaps Morrow will just have to change roles for the foreseeable future.

    And who knew Edwards would be this good this quickly?

    It's a "problem" that Vanney probably enjoys having. Too many good midfield players for the number of minutes available. Although I suspect we may see some player resting and shuffling over the next little while with all the short weeks (including the Canadian Championship matches).

    I suspect Moor would replace Hagglund straight up.
