2014 Schedule
I HIGHLY recommend keeping up with this website: Dynamo Theory It's the best place for dynamo news
Strengths
This deep and seasoned outfit possesses a firm knowledge of how it wants to play and relies on its nous to churn out results. Tally Hall is one of the league's best goalkeepers, a number one capable of stealing matches on a regular basis. The back four must answer a few questions, but Corey Ashe and Kofi Sarkodie offer some width moving forward from their fullback spots.
Ricardo Clark covers acres of space in central midfield and links the play well enough. Davis and Garcia combine to a present a complex threat as the Dynamo moves briskly through the middle third. Their quality on the ball permits the Dynamo to keep possession if desired and supplies plenty of creativity into the final third.
Andrew Driver and Alex López constitute the sort of quality secondary options most teams can't afford or locate. The trio of Giles Barnes (team-high nine goals last season), Will Bruin and Omar Cummings looks like it could provide enough goals on paper. And veteran coach Dominic Kinnear knows how to engineer a response if the performances or the results dip.
Weaknesses:
The strength of the collective obscures the lack of a trusted number nine to lead the line and polish off moves reliably. Bruin's inefficiency left the Dynamo exposed in the final third. If he doesn't improve his precision, then Barnes (again) or Cummings must shoulder a larger load than desired on that front.
Ashe and Sarkodie face a similar conundrum as they push forward given the revamped nature of the central defensive department. Their adventurous nature could leave the rearguard exposed at points, but a more conservative approach limits Davis' ability to float inside to create overload situations.
Probable starting XI:
-------Bruin------Cummings----
Davis-----Rico----Barnes---Boniek
Ashe----Taylor----Horst---Sarkodie

DALE DYNAMO

Damn, I didn't realize Bobby Boswell left. That sucks. Looking forward to this season and spending many nights in BBVA.
That away jersey is a beaut.

really excited to see Cummings healthy this year, also wondering where the midfield DP dude fits in, forget his name. Bruin better get his shite together, he was basically the reason we never won a lot of games comfortably last year.

Wow, the loss of Cam Weaver should be worth 9-15 more goals this year. Addition by subtraction. Suck it Cammy Cam!

I'm thinking about getting into the Dynamo for this season. Always been a Will Briun fan so I may get his kit soon. I know Im going to the Aston Villa vs Dynamo game but I will be in my AVFC gear then.

this guy used to work out at the gym I go to. He was always decked out, head to toe, in Portland Timbers gear.
