Well, rivalry game this weekend. Can the Revs stay on the winning side of things, or do we revert? We've sucked on the road. Plain and simple, we've been horrid on the road. Last road win was at Philly, April 19th. Since then 0-6-1, with a 7-19 GD.
After last weeks shutout with an improvised back-line, the first in over a month, it makes me wonder if JoGo should be benched. I don't think he is effective anymore.

Not me. Goncalves didn't deserve that red card and *most* of the time he's an excellent central defender. And, you have to consider the gap between Hall and Woodbury at right back. IMO, it's a huge difference, even though Hall didn't make any serious mistakes.
Yeah, things aligned right for us, given that we were against 10 last week, so it could have been a lot worse on the back line.
Looks like Shuttleworth may still be out, so Knighton can start again, no problem. Start Kobayashi or Dorman? I say Kobayashi. Start Fagundez or Agudelo? I say Fagundez. Goncalves sits and we get our first shutout in forever... but passing from the back was terrible. Goncalves will likely return to the lineup and we'll have our normal back four in front of Knighton.
i'd go ..............................knighton Woodbury....Farrell...........JoGo.......AllStar .....................Caldwell.....Kobayashi Bunbury..................Nguyen............Fagundez ..................................Davies
Agree with you on both start/sit decisions. Kobayashi and Fagundez were difference makers last week and you've gotta reward that kind of play.
Piss on the fire and watch their playoff aspirations go up in smoke. And most of all, leave that concrete shithole with all 3 points boys. Go revs
Jermaine Jones training, hopes to see pitch soon for Revolution By Brian O'Connell 7/23/2015 ESPNFC.com
Im sure he will start BUT I don't know if we can overcome his typical few screw ups per game? Many times he does something stupid that ends with the ball in our net... we can't afford that
Hi, been following the Revs since last year, 1st post in this forum, and will probably not be a shared opinion! I thought Woodbury was excellent in the center last weekend, and Farrell was ok, but had made some huge mistakes in the previous matches (though he certainly wasn't alone, but I felt he had been the weakest link). I know one game isn't a lot to go on, and Farrell has a lot of upside in the middle, but I think he excels at fullback. My thought is that there might be something to playing Woodbury in the middle and Farrell back on the right. Yes, I know will never happen and like I said I can't see anyone agreeing, but wanted to put it out there for any thoughts.
I don't hate the idea. Woodbury's ability to cross will keep him out wide, which I think is part of what's hurting the team. We have become so reliant on just swinging in crosses that I think it has hurt the quick passes that this team has been built on in years past.
