On Wednesday night in San Jose, the revs will look to reverse their recent struggles and begin the tough climb back into the playoff picture. Kick off is at 10:30pm ET, CSNNE and radio on 98.5 the SportsHub. San Jose are coming off a 2 1 home loss to Houston last Friday. They currently sit just below the red line in the West, with 31 points. They are 2-4-5 in their last 11 while the revs are 3-7-1. Goals are at a premium for both clubs, so the struggles are similar.
A Battle Royale to stay in contention for the playoffs..... So, who yer gonna bet the kiddies college tuition on? Amarikwa the Wondo-ful or the Kamara Obscura?
Since I'm going to the Bay Area on business this week, I'm going to the game. But guess, what? I'm not even excited about it. Thanks Krafts.
Same here ); I've never been this apathetic to the Revs visit before. Only happens once every two years, and I actually feel more annoyed that I have to get down to San Jose on a week night than I feel excited for the Revs being in town.
#NERevs injury report: Kouassi (knee) and McCrary (groin) are out while Watson (groin) and Goncalves (hamstring) are questionable. #Quakes74— Seth (@SethMan31) August 23, 2016 With Woodberry suspended, our defensive lineup should be interesting if the two questionables can't play..
Can two of Herivaux, Barnes and Farrell possibly be worse than shipping 13 goals in 4 games? I guess it can always get worse.
Sounds like Samba time! Herivaux subbed in for the last minutes when JoGo came off - and stayed at CB. The kid is ultra-versatile - maybe this is where he first MLS start happens. Please, not Barnes.
I had forgotten about Samba. I wouldn't be against seeing Samba pair with Herivaux (fullbacks Tierney and Farrell). Two raw players with long-term upsides. Throw 'em in the fire, see what they can do.
Also, all tonight and done by the time the Revs play: Toronto at Orlando Philly at Columbus DC at Montreal Depending on how these results go - the Revs could find themselves in 9th place and 5 points out of the last playoff spot before the SJ game even starts. If Heaps can't motivate them - surely that should.
He was in for how long, maybe 90 seconds tops? He may have replaced one of the center backs, but he wasn't really "playing" that position when the Revs were trying to throw everything forward to make something happen. The Revs need help in the back line, but it may be premature to anoint Herivaux "the center back of the future" just yet.

Probably see something like: .............................................Shuttleworth Farrell....................Barnes......................JoGo or Samba..............Tierney ..........................Caldwell....................Koffie Rowe or Teal.......................Lee..............................Diego ....................................Kamara I'd prefer to see something like: .............................................Shuttleworth Farrell....................Barnes......................JoGo or Samba..............Tierney Rowe............................Koffie........Lee...................Diego ............................Agudello................Kamara or .............................................Shuttleworth Farrell....................Barnes......................JoGo or Samba..............Tierney ........................................Caldwell.........Koffie Juan.......................................Lee...............................Diego ....................................Kamara
Why would you start JoGo or Samba alongside Barnes? Why not JoGo and Samba, with Barnes on the bench?
I think JoGo's hurt. Also I kinda hope Knighton starts over Shuttleworth, but I might be in the minority on that thought.
