Due to a bizarre and unexpected account termination, I have put a temporary stop on YouTube videos for the time being. I’m working with YouTube to figure out what we can do from here. In the meantime, blog posts will continue as usual.
Overwhelmed — Again
Well, not much changed against Rot-Weiss Essen. They attacked us from all angles, dismantling our defense and scoring two goals in the process.
I’ve got to blame Nikola Stevanovic for both goals. He completely misplayed his man on the first and let the defender in on the second. He’s played poorly for us so far this season, and I’m tired of it. He counts as a foreign player (we’re only allowed to have 3), and I think it’s time to simply move on.
In all honesty, though, we weren’t competitive in the slightest this time around. The only positive statistic we had were passes completed — and even that was problematic.
Yusuf Kabadayi played well in his debut, but suffered a slight hamstring injury that should keep him out for two matches. I think we’ll manage without him for the time being.
Raiding Bayern
As our poor performances mount, my desperation for something winning continues to grow. We finalized the Pavolvic deal, which I talked about briefly yesterday.
However, that simply didn’t feel like enough to me. And so I went back to the scouting desk to look for another player recommendation.
This time we picked up Angelo Brückner, our third signing in a row from FC Bayern München’s II squad. The scouts like everything about him. He’s got a good personality, is consistent, is quick, and should give us some better quality in the fullback positions.
We also made some rather crazy promises to lure him in. Like I said, I’m desperate.
Wiesbaden
We’re hosting SV Wehen Wiesbaden tomorrow, a match that we really should win. I’m really worried about my future here if we manage not to win this one.
