It was good to see the team win today, but they could have been more precise and accurate. The goals came after 6 min. and 83 min. First one by Sakkariassen, and the second one by Rob Friend. Patrice played well, until he was substituted in the 85 min. One of the teams best players in this game, without shining like a star, but no one else did either. Moss failed to score on a penalty-kick halfway through the second half. Strangly, it was left defender Ødegaard who got the opportunity from the spot, instead of Haraldsen, who came to Moss pryor to this season from Oslo Øst, where he last year scored 15 out of his 16 goals on penalty-kicks. Patrice was back in his more defensive role in this game, since the boss rested himself, and Haraldsen was playing in mid-defense. The opponent, Tolnes, was relegated last year from 1.div, and after 2 games of this 2.div. season, they are placed in the bottom of the league, with a negative 1 - 5 goals. So you can see that we are a little dissapointed that we did not get a larger win.

Next game for us, is away against Sandefjord on Sunday. This is a hard one, Sandefjord being one of the bookies favourites to get promoted to the premier division this year. They have had a bad start, like Moss, and will be fighting like hell to win the battle.

Don't know if I'll go there, it depends on how and if, and the weather, and so on. I still have some work to do on my fields....

See ya!
