Sorry to report that we lost 2-0, again resorting to hoofing the ball towards our two attackers. Problem was that the ball very rarely landed somewhere near them...

Our first defeat on home turf and not really much to say about it. Trelleborg was clearly better than us, they managed to dominate the midfield with just three players. We are playing in a sort of diamond midfield and that is just not working at all at the moment. Of course, it is very hard for the midfielders to do anything when the ball keeps sailing over them all the time.

They scored from a corner in the 41:st minute, that prompted our manager to switch to 4-3-3 after halftime. I sort of hoped that we by then would put some pressure on Trelleborg, but no such thing. Trelleborg kept on dominating the game, we struggled with their skilful passing. Time ran out, we had a few decent chances towards the end but with cross-eyed forwards who couldn't hit a barn from the inside, no goals from us. Trelleborg put a final nail in our coffin on overtime when they scored their second while our defence stood still.

Braz and his centre-back compadre did ok, as did our keeper. The rest was simply not good enough and as we now face Trelleborg away I do hope that they practice some passing when they are training.

Only two points from four games, I hope that the players will show some more fighting spirit and get us out of this...

Do you think that it's a good thing to have a break like that in the middle of the season? Players have to get their game shape again and fast...

Nah, never liked that break for a simple reason. The summer is such a perfect time for football, so why take a break in the middle of it?

You have to remember that every team in our division has the same break, so it is the same for everyone. The truth behind our poor form is
a) We have met teams who are in the higher positions in the table
b) Our passing has been appallingly bad the last few games.
c) Our paperthin squad - A few injuries and we are struggling, basically because the replacements are not good enough.

Still, I keep hoping that we maybe, maybe might come away with at least one point from trelleborg. Very much doubt it, but stranger things have happened, right? Right? [Insert hysterical laughter here...]

Hmm, I might be mad supporting VSK in the first place, but I'm not that mad...

Nah, it really is too far away, 1200 km roundtrip and that is for a game that we look certain to lose. A few of the boys are going down on friday to make a weekend out of it, but I have plans for the weekend so I'll have to skip that.

Anyway, keep your fingers crossed for the verdeblancs...Not even sure if that is correct French for green and white, but you get the picture.
