Winners of three straight, the expansion club is starting to find its footing, though likely not in time for the 2015 postseason.
It has been a roller coaster first year for the big names that make up the New York City FC roster.
At the start of the season, the potential of the likes of David Villa, Mix Diskerud and Frank Lampard raised expectations for NYCFC beyond what you’d expect from an expansion team. Then, after months of struggles, the talk shifted to how the new franchise was a high-priced failure. Now, after three straight wins, a first for the franchise, it seems as though the potential has finally been unlocked.
