Seeing as the Portland Timbers are in the midst of a well earned two-week hiatus from fixtures due to the October international break, I thought I would take a look at the final month of Portland’s season and what it might take for the team to earn a spot in the MLS Playoffs.
After a spectacular past couple months of results, the Timbers find themselves sitting in fourth place in the Western Conference with six games remaining, nestled directly between the Colorado Rapids in third and Real Salt Lake in fifth.
