As October cedes the stage to November and MLS enters the final week of the regular season, Atlanta United’s chances to make the dash up the table we all expected is fading all too quickly.

Atlanta’s unhappy habit of conceding late once again reared its head in an infuriating draw against Toronto. The dropped points from last weekend and New York City would have Atlanta comfortably 4th and all but certain to host a home playoff game at the Benz.
