If March was about struggle for the Portland Timbers, April was about recovery. Like all recoveries, it started with hitting rock bottom in the Bay Area — losing 3-0 and decisively taking the title of Worst Team in the League. From there, however, the Timbers began an upward trend. In Dallas the next week, the team showed a much stronger performance, despite failing to take a point. Then, in Columbus, Gio Savarese once again brought in a new formation, and the team responded with their first win. They repeated the performance on Saturday, bringing home another three points from Toronto.
Are the Timbers good again?
