Preston Judd

Mm.

With just a, a cameo from, from Preston Judd, who was so key to what they were doing in the first half of the season.

And it's not li- like, Edward Lowen is still finding his place.

I thought it was interesting against Houston.

... soft goals.

So part of that's turnover stuff.

The other side is if Chiquira and, and Werner are healthy and you don't need the additional number all the time, then Costa can become that fourth center back, or fourth member of the back line, and you shift it across, and Kakanovic or Ricketts are, are playing right wing back and they're playing consistently high, or maybe you even slide Useni Buda out there if Preston Judd's healthy, and it is this free role.

I mean, watching whatever the hell Matt Polster played yesterday for the Revs, like, there's options to move pieces in and out of that position and still maintain stability if you got three to four center backs type guys out there that you trust.

And these are all the types of things that good teams do.

You watch guys come off the bench and make an impact, like Useni Buda subs in for an injured press Jud- Preston Judd and immediately helps them stretch that lead out to three-nothing.

That's a big-time play.

Edward Luven came in.

Well, the facilitation is training and games.

They get to know each other as... and they cont- continue to grow as young players.

Uh, they're connections and, you know, it's the... it- it's a team and, uh, you know, obviously some very good goals by, uh, uh, by Buddha and, uh, Preston as well.

And we missed a penalty.

We get Jon Gallagher, Jon Bell for Alexander Svatok.

Then Preston Judd comes in, and then at 70 we get...

some of the players will ultimately help make a difference.

We get Ramirez for LSU, Pujeta for Rosales, and BHI for Dessler.

So after that miss, we get Plachy and Christian Ramirez coming on for Jorge and Joro.

So you also get Preston Judd's bitch ass in for the Senny Buddha on the other side.

But Ramirez in, Brandon Vasquez not coming out.

So this puts Ramirez in that Izuni spot, kind of your left attacking mid.

We got to get at least one goal.

You know what I mean? And I thought it was a good move by Davey.

Two minutes later, it's Joseph Rosales beating Preston Judd to a ball, going towards that west sideline down there in the north end.

It's in the notes.

They got him playing next to Shaqiri's behind...

Preston Judd or Buddha, whoever they have a striker.

San Jose has been very disappointing since the World Cup break or just in general for a while, actually.

But Austin has been the most disappointing team to me in the Western Conference.

Those dudes that we talked about, the super draft picks, not all these guys are super draft picks, but the dudes who seem to be overperforming their actual level of play have really – have really slowed down at this point.

Preston Judd being one of them still leads the team and goals with 11, 14 contributions, but he's only scored once since May 13th.

And that's not to signal out a single out Judd in this moment in time, because a lot of guys are struggling.

And the thing is they've been relatively healthy.

They don't really have a prolific striker per se.

Preston Judd seems to be the starter.

His stats are okay.

I don't really know much about him.

I got Ingvardsson.

I got Burrito, Kevin Kelsey, Preston Judd.

Am I missing anyone there? I feel like that's a pretty good group.

And there's really not that many of them that I would clearly rate above Dejan Jovovich.

So, all right, this is, this is the, the list of guys that I would put over him are Petar Musa, Sam Sturridge, Brian White, probably Hugo Kuypers.

And then after that, you're talking about Kevin Denke, Rafa Navarro, Prince Owosu, Ingvardsson, Ty Baribo.

So out of that group that I just named, yeah, Kevin Kelsey and Preston Judd in there as well.

Out of that group that I just named, I think the five, the top five would probably be Sam Surge, Brian White, Hugo Kuypers, if we're still factoring him in because he was in MLS very recently, Ty Baribo.
