Tidbits from another average Austin FC Josh Wolff Thursday press conference

Believe me, Luchi Gonzalez, there's absolutely nothing that Josh Wolff said on Thursday that will interest you. Not a single thing.

If it’s a Thursday in Austin in 2024, it’s likely that Josh Wolff is before Austin media at a press conference, careful in his messaging, underscoring familiar tenets about his coaching philosophy and striking familiar notes to those who know his cadences.

So, answering a question about the odd fact that the San Jose Earthquakes, Saturday’s opponent and the first team to ever play Austin FC at Q2 Stadium back in 2021, has never lost to Austin FC in nine contests, we have the reassuring reminder that each season is unique and that players look at matches different than media members do.

“They show up with every intention of winning the next game,” Wolff said of his squad. “I don't think they reflect on what 2021 looked like or 2022 looked like. I think that's for you guys to rehash.”

Answering a question about the mood of his team, victorious for the first time in 2024 with Saturday’s win over FC Dallas, Wolff maintained they’ve been professional and are collectively in fine spirits.

“The guys are in a good place,” he observed. “Momentum is gained by good performances and obviously results. So we've had good performances, this was a good result. Hopefully, we can put ourselves in position to get another good result at home.”

And answering a question about the matchup, he said complimentary things about his opponent and then talked freely about his team’s Achilles’ heel — wait, he did what?
