For Manager Caleb
Porter, that second win and especially on the road, was the culmination of his squad’s
ultimate determination of delivering three points of gold!
A win is a win and
with a couple of strikes from one of Portland’s Andean striker in Maxi Urruti,
that became the icing on the cake for the Rose City Bhoys!
After going against adversity
and having some of their key players in the DL list, Manager Porter really
focused his initial eleven to form an all-around pressure and attack on the
always difficult New York Red Bulls.
Without several key
players in his lineup, still this squad showed a winning attitude as well
determination to obtain their first road win as well shake up those away games
blues.
So far netting
several draws, this project is not perfected as its defensive side needs to
stop giving away very awkward goals received, that could be prevented with a more
hawkish defense.
Still the Timbers are
given a shoot of optimism ahead of their mid-week match at the city of Angels
and by traveling coast to coast, their match against Chivas USA will be a test
of skills as well top notch condition to net a possible back to back wins.
I do credit these
squad ultimate heroics and pulling those games out of those squad’s sleeves at the
last minute, thanks to their pair of Argentinian strikers in Gaston Fernandez and
Maxi Urruti coming always to the rescue.
And with a campaign
in full swing, it looks like Manager Porter is seeing a tough agenda ahead of
every match, as every one of his players are showing off certain readiness, to
become a part of that initial eleven as well prime time.
At the end this squad
is poised to soar into new heights after finding more confidence among
themselves in this past match that lacked several of its key players.
With a little more
ambition and hunger for the game, the Portland Timbers are looking ahead of
this sudden surge, to climb for the top of the Western Division as well placed
themselves in the always sought top five positions.
That at the end will
mean a place in the always coveted League Postseason, were the Portland Bhoys
have the team and skills to reach into the finals: but for now Manager Caleb
Porter will focus in his next strategy as well initial eleven to front any of
his squad upcoming challenges, go Timbers.
If I Root, I Root for
the Timbers!
