TORONTO -- No matter how theyre viewed, the numbers are ugly for Toronto FC. The club has just two victories from 20 Major League Soccer matches this season, a winless skid is now at six games and a goalless drought is closing in on 300 minutes. You can watch the game on TSN and TSN Mobile TV, Saturday at 2pm et/11am pt. But of all the statistics marking another disastrous season, the one thats hardest to take for players and fans alike is that its been more than a year since they won at BMO Field. "Obviously at home, with not winning in so long, theres a lot of nervous energy, just in the stadium in general," midfielder Bobby Convey said Friday after training ahead of Saturdays match at BMO Field against the Columbus Crew. "Everybody feels it. "We need to get the fans behind the team again, give them something to watch." Of course, winning requires scoring a goal, something Toronto has not done since scoring three in the opening 24 minutes of a home match against Montreal on July 3. TFC went on to squander a two-goal lead in the second half in an eventual 3-3 draw. Torontos last win at BMO Field was on July 18 of last year, when they defeated Colorado 2-1. The Reds are 0-7-9 at the stadium since. On Saturday, Toronto (2-10-8) will be looking to build on a 0-0 draw at home with the New York Red Bulls last weekend, just the second clean sheet of 2013 for the club. "The defence has been superb lately," said striker Justin Braun. "Now, us attacking guys have to do our part and hopefully get some goals." While Braun, who has been nursing a toe infection, is expected to be available Saturday, Toronto will be without their two most dangerous strikers as Robert Earnshaw and Danny Koevermans remain sidelined with injuries. Jeremy Brockie, who is likely to get his sixth straight start up front for TFC, said he and his teammates have been over playing the ball as they close in on the opponents goal. "Weve been getting into good positions to pull the trigger but we seem to try and pass that responsibility on to someone else ... when we should have taken the shot," Brockie said. "Its just about having confidence in your ability to hit the target." Torontos 17 goals for in 20 matches is second-worst in MLS, ahead of only the nine scored by D.C. United, who sit dead-last in the 19-team league, one spot behind TFC. Columbus (6-9-5), one spot ahead of Toronto in the Eastern Conference standings, comes in having lost four of their past five matches. The Crew leads the all-time record between the clubs at 9-1-7 and have never lost at BMO Field in eight visits, winning three times. The Crew, 1-0 winners at BMO Field in May their only meeting so far this season, are led by strikers Dominic Oduro and Federico Higuain. Veteran defender Chad Marshall is an imposing presence in the Columbus defence. A day after signing Spanish midfielder Alvaro Rey, Toronto head coach Ryan Nelsen said the club is close to bringing in additional players, acknowledging the wait can be frustrating for fans. But he insisted the teams rebuild is on track despite the poor record. "It may not seem like it but we do feel like were starting to break the back and see some light," Nelsen said. "Weve got a lot of good young players coming through and every day they are at training and every game that they play they just get better and better." Rey, 24, who most recently played in Spains second division, is billed as a skillful winger and solid crosser of the ball who will boost Torontos attack. But hes still working on his match fitness and is unlikely to play against the Crew. "There was definitely possibilities to play in Spain but I wanted to try something new, different country, different league," Rey told reporters through a translator. "And, Im very happy with my decision to come to Toronto." Asked if the clubs continually poor performance, turmoil and perpetual rebuilding made him think twice about the move, Rey said, "I relish being part of something new. "Hopefully with my skills and my mindset, I can help the team get ahead." Cheap Air Max Shoes Online . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

The Pelicans jumped 41 spots in these rankings after their first winning season in the Anthony Davis era, and that 45-win season seemed to foretell great things for the team and its leading man. Alas, an encore with more starting lineups (42) than wins (30) pushed the Pels back to the bottom half.Whats goodEven after a 30-win season, the Pelicans rank in the top third of teams in bang for the buck, thanks to the leagues cheapest tickets. At just $30.20 on average, Pelicans tickets are $25 below the NBA average and a full $99 cheaper than the leagues most expensive ticket (the Knicks). Once youre in the door, you get to watch a superstar in the prime of his career. Although doubts have emerged after his left knee debridement in March made it four straight seasons with fewer than 70 regular-season games played, Davis is still only 23 years old and boasts a statistical profile befitting some of the very best in history.Whats badA season ravaged by injuries -- the Pelicans lost 351 games to injury or illness, second-most in tthe past decade -- forced the front office to undergo a major facelift this past summer.dddddddddddd While the likes of Solomon Hill and ETwaun Moore will provide much-needed versatility, particularly for the leagues 28th-ranked defense, the losses of Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon leave the supporting cast a bit light on star power and scoring punch. As a result, the Pels take a big hit here in players (down 52 spots to 101st) and title track (down 30 to 107, New Orleans worst showing).Whats newThe Benson familys courtroom drama, in which owner Tom Benson is trying to move control of a family trust to his wife, not his daughter, put a 32-point drag on the teams ownership score, which is now down to 86th overall and 23rd in the NBA. But if New Orleans can live up to its reputation as the countrys best party host with the 2017 All-Star Game -- relocated to New Orleans after the league moved it from Charlotte -- the Pelicans could bump that back up. Another fan favorite: The Pelicans are putting courtside seats normally reserved for media on sale to the public, offering fans the unique experience of hearing coach Alvin Gentrys colorful in-game monologues loud and clear.Next: Orlando Magic?| Full rankings Jerseys NFL China Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Discount Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China China NCAA Jerseys Cheap Cheap Nike Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Nike Patriots Jerseys Cheap Nike Jets Jerseys Cheap Nike Bengals Jerseys Cheap Nike Browns Jerseys Cheap Nike Steelers Jerseys Cheap Nike Texans Jerseys Cheap Nike Colts Jerseys Cheap Nike Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Nike Titans Jerseys Cheap Nike Broncos Jerseys ' ' '
