LA Galaxy vs Toronto FC, MLS Game 31

Crystal Palace vs West Bromwich, League Game 33

Not a terrible spot to be in when you consider both games we've played have been on the road.

I can't blame him for being upset. We spent $2M to acquire him in the Winter Transfer Market and we've left him to rot on the bench. He's just going to have to wait until next season as Stark has really played well in the role of young central defender.

Deportivo Toluca vs Toronto FC, CONCACAF Group Game Two

It's off to Mexico where MLS teams go to die. Group Game Two of Six in CONCACAF Champions League.

West Bromwich vs Leicester City, League Game 32

That means he's going to miss our next two games. We got him on a free transfer and the way he's played I feel like we got ripped off.

Whoa! WHOA! Time for the Board to back down! This kid has been invisible when he's played this year but with his ratings rising we need to keep him for next season. He has the potential to be great. Let's give him that raise. He's only make $25,000 a week right now.

We turn the page to a busy October that kicks off with us going to Mexico to play a CONCACAF Champions League Group game. We then play two days later in Los Angeles as our MLS playoff hopes hang by a thread. If that isn't bad enough we have another MLS game against Houston at home three days later. I'm thinking we play a top squad in Mexico, take our chances with some second team players in LA and hope the top squad is fit enough at home against Houston. This could really sink me. We then play another three games in five days at the end of the month. This is a bit of a nightmare.

Varela's nine goals are second on the team only to Brown Ideye. But at age 30, his ratings are in decline and I doubt we'll complete a transfer for him once his loan from Porto ends.

We're living on the edge now.

Four points out of ninth which was the goal the Board set for me this season.
