Week Eight Lineup

Last week was a loser, but once again only by a little. Watch this space for more analysis. Suffice it to say that Alan Gordon's red in Portland made this Timbers fan happy. However, it's making a lineup that was starting to come together awkward once again. He's out for four weeks.

EDIT: Now some late thoughts. It already appears that Aurelien Collin was a smart pickup. He's currently put the Flyers up 1-0 over the Zodiac who are this week's opponent. That's all the more important because this year's expansion club seems to be capable of putting up quite a few points no matter what's going on. We're going to need all hands on deck to pull this one out and none of our impact players from Montreal (pun intended) are available. Good news is that it appears that Marvin Chavez will be available this week. Hopefully he won't walk into a well-deserved red card the way Gordon did last week.
