Frustrated!
Our home leg against Wolfsberger AC was simply frustrating.
We couldn’t get any of our attacks to work at all. We dominated the match, with 17 shots to their 7, and a 1.31 xG to their 1.01.
And yet we lost in the end, 1-0.
I’m not quite sure who to blame. Nobody had an exceptionally bad match. We just didn’t have any good performances, that’s all.
Maybe it was the rain and wet conditions. I’m not sure.
I’m still holding out hope that we’re going to have some sort of run in Europe to help the team’s finances out a bit. However, after two bad performances in four matches, I’ve got to wonder if we really have it in us.
Abrefa
I’ve got one more player to introduce.
He’s Kelvin Abrefa, and we actually brought him over last January. He’s a 19-year-old English right back who looks really good. The plan is to use him as a backup for Pak Myong-Song for now, allowing him to get the experience he needs to take over the job once Pak is too old to continue.
We purchased Abrefa from Reading in January. He had been on loan with Leyton Orient at the time. Because he had appeared for both Reading and Leyton Orient, we couldn’t play him at all last season. Sadly, he wound up on our under 21 team, even though he was clearly good enough for the first team.
He’s an excellent player, has a great mentality, and should be good for years. I just hope he plays better in the future than he did against Wolfsberger.
Do Or Die
Well, this is it. If we lose this next match, we’re out of Europe, as quickly as it started.
Wolfsberger AC are anticipating only 1,700 fans for this match, which is pathetic. We’ve been drawing just under 20,000 fans for each of our Conference League matches so far.
Perhaps the lack of an audience will give us a slight advantage. We’ll see.
