Not many keepers could have stopped that header

Stensness played again i thank centre back which seems to definatly be his position now
Underfeated in pre season tour of US with the latest being  3-1 win against Portland.
Viking finished 3rd 6 points behind Bodo last season.
Season starts next Month
Interested to see how Stensness and JRB go this season because we really need CB options

I dunno. It was going pretty slow. Anyone with an extra few centirmentres wouldve dealt with it I reckon

Juric probably should've scored from four yards in the 53rd minute to make it 3-2, but got put off by his own teammate. Two away goals would've been nice.

its interesting how back in the day someone like kasey wehrman played almost 200 league games in norway however he barely got a look in at national team level. shows how the standard of the national team has come down.

didnt realise he's coaching over there 

Arnie did say the last time he bought stensness in that he saw him more as a CDM but yea I think he could do a job at CB. hopefully JRB’s injury is good now and he’s back soon and deng starts playing 

He played CB at the Olympics and only as a CB in Norway but its good to have that option.
One that slipped under the radar is Karacic started for Brescia yesterday in a 1-0 win
Brescia sit 3rd 1 point off first so thats another Aussie in the hunt for promotion.

Laurence Thomas starting and his team is 1-0 ten mins in.

borello is on the bench 

Taggart should be starting against Muscat’s team today at 4

Also realised Thomas is playing against Zach Duncan’s team who is not playing.

awer mabil got subbed on in Turkey at the 74th minute 

Mabil scores on 91 min for a 4:3 lead. 

Thomas howler...3-2
Sonderjyske blow a 2-0 lead.

Abe Majok started for Amazulu in the African Champions League

Lachlan Jackson starting for Suwon In K League 1 and Mitch Langerak starting for Nagoya in J League

No Kuol. Sandhausen actually stacked with forwards and they're on a streak.

John Iredale with Covid two weeks ago so slowing any attempt to make it back. Wiesbaden also stacked with forwards. Odd loans for Kuol and Iredale with upgrades and downgrades respectively but to stacked squads where you wonder what the arrangement is. 

Behich starting. No Duncan for AGF last night is really annoying when he played most of the friendies. No Ciricati for Parma. No Kuol in the squad is also pissing me off. 

Looks like Valpato will be in the top team squad. Fingers crossed for some minutes

Elder starting, McGree bench. No Dougall today. Chapman bench for Huddersfield.

JRB returns to 11, Wright starting as is Williams, Luongo starting, No Iredale. Burgess bench.

No Lyden, Ogle starting.

AMB bench. Damn! Atkinson and Devlin starting.

Hrustic, Sainsbury on late. Irvine tomorrow. Boyle full game yesterday in 0:0. Mabil scored on 92 but it ended 4:4 after 100min.

Goal Atkinson! 

@johnszasz Apologies I can’t remember, but can you read German? I’d love to be able to find out what’s going on with Kuol.

There must be something going on, as why would Sandhausen loan a player they have no intention of featuring in their match day squads. And conversely, why would Stuttgart loan their asset to a club that has no intention of playing him, when it’s in their interest to send him somewhere that’s going give him game time?

I reckon there must be a niggling injury or something. 

Yeah sure I'll do some digging. So it turns out the official Sandhausen twitter has been posting the coach's quotes about him. The coach said he's enjoyable to watch and can add spark and hassle up top. The coach went on to say it's not been so easy for him as yet and maybe he needs a bit more time but he's going in the right direction. They posted a photo of him at training 3 days ago.

Sandhausen also signed quite a few attackers in the window including two winger on deadline day with him and all the current group are firing well at the moment digging them out of the relegation zone. I can imagine too Kuol is in the ad hoc second 11 in training activities and when they do 11 vs 11 it normally ends up that Kuol will be in his position but have a reserve centre back playing wing to make up the numbers. I see it at Hannover training a lot where the traffic cone reserve players are used for the first 11 to hone their formations. When the player is in that hole it can be pretty hard to get out of it. There are around 8-10 attackers ahead of him currently.

All the while the two 20m plus strikers at Stuttgart have returned bumping the 3 or so middle men from the bench to the reserve side. In hindsight a loan to a 3rd tier club with starting potential would've been best.

53min McGree on. Down 2:0.

Sainsbury starting. Hrustic bench.

Hrustic and Volpato bench.

Goal Sainsbury 

Roma down 2:0 at HT and Volpato is one of two attacking players on the bench so there's a chance here if they current bunch don't create chances. Lots of midfielders on bench so Jose might go there for legs and creativity. 

A second goal for Sainsbury. Gersbach starting. 

and Volpato scores...
