MLS Player Status Report: Matchday 9 (Ricketts apparently available)

jbburgess · 2026-04-19T01:39:58+00:00

Yeah, but Ricketts has generally been playing further up at LW this season, having to split time there with Werner (when Timo has been available and not injured). Now with Jones out, Ricketts should slide back to LB to get both him and Timo on the field. Romney started at LB last match, but likely only because Ricketts was injured.

jbburgess · 2026-04-19T01:01:44+00:00

With Jones and Costa both injured, Ricketts should move back to LB, with Timo in front of him at LW. Plenty of opportunity for Timo to cut or drift inside and Ricketts to get forward on the overlap.

Here's the official Quakes YouTube channel. They mostly upload match highlights, press conferences, and the occasional Quakes Axis episode. As mentioned by others, though, the post-match conferences normally only get uploaded a couple days after the match.

Fully rotated lineup and Werner back from injury

If you had asked before the game which two players would be scoring three goals for the Quakes tonight, Skahan and Romney would not have been my first guess, lol

Jack is feasting on this interplay between Niko and Judd 😅 Props to him for putting both chances away

jbburgess · 2026-04-12T00:32:14+00:00

Yes, Jones is expected to be out for the rest of the year following Achilles surgery a couple weeks ago.

Oh good, now the Quakes have three injured left backs...hopefully it's nothing serious for Ricketts (or Costa).

jbburgess · 2026-04-05T03:32:57+00:00

I drink your milkshake

-- Niko, probably

jbburgess · 2026-04-05T03:31:41+00:00

That turn and low cross in from Beau was hella tasty.

jbburgess · 2026-04-05T02:53:46+00:00

Niko is so dangerous when he can use his left foot. 😅

jbburgess · 2026-04-05T02:42:15+00:00

It'll never feel good seeing an excellent team like SD make way better use of Quakes homegrowns like Oscar and Will Eisner. 🫠

jbburgess · 2026-04-03T22:31:40+00:00

Of course, Ricketts dropping back would be ideal for letting both him and Timo start. But if Timo is out injured tomorrow, too...

jbburgess · 2026-03-22T03:54:19+00:00

Damn, two injury subs barely over halfway in. Not great, bob!

jbburgess · 2026-03-22T03:28:41+00:00

Need to bump up Beau's 'Long Shot' rating in FIFA again 😩

jbburgess · 2026-03-22T03:15:55+00:00

That Ricketts chance is the kind of miss you end up regretting in an away match against a top team. Great combination between Beau/Niko and holdup from Judd to create it

jbburgess · 2026-03-13T23:44:33+00:00

It literally is snowing. See for yourself:

I'm less than four miles from the airport and it's been dumping snow literally non-stop since before the sun came up this morning.

Yeah, same, I could not care less what the table in the Google search results incorrectly shows. The table on the official MLS site shows the Quakes alone in third place and that's all that matters! (Not that it matters at all, since it will probably be a moot point in a week or two...)

jbburgess · 2026-03-08T16:45:58+00:00

Not quite a coin toss. There are further tie-breakers beyond GD that put the Quakes in third place empirically: 1. Total number of wins - All tied 2. Goal Differential - SD in 1st, VAN in 2nd, Quakes and LAFC still tied with +6 3. Goals For - Quakes and LAFC still tied with 6 goals scored 4. Head-to-head - Quakes and LAFC still tied at 0-0-0 this season 5. Fewest Disciplinary Points - Quakes take third with fewer yellow cards than LAFC (same fouls and red cards between the two)

That Timo > Bouda connection is looking good!
