The Houston Dynamo remain unbeaten, though winless, in the Wade Barrett era in MLS action as the squad makes its way to the Rose City to take on another quality team at home, the Portland Timbers. Interim Head Coach Wade Barrett hasn't radically shifted things from his predecessor, Owen Coyle, but he's been able to produce draws on the road in Vancouver and Dallas - two difficult places to get results in.
This week, Barrett may be forced to make some changes as Giles Barnes should certainly be rejoining the starting lineup following his stint with the Jamaican National Team during Copa America.
