Winter Break and Transfers
So I have arranged 12 friendlies between 10th December 2011 and 25th January 2012. First 6 games were against quite easy or similar opponents (all played in away fixtures), and 6 other were against quite good (all played at home).

[color=#EDD400]Wisla 2-2

[color=#EDD400]Skonto 2-2
Borac (BL) 2-2
Well actually my Olimpia did good job in these matches because they only lost 2 games matches against top Ekstraklasa teams which usually compete in Europe every year so they are actually playing really good in friendlies.
I think I am most pleased with win against Ruzomberok because they are decent Slovakian team which won Slovakian League back in 2006 and had been in UEFA Champions League third qualifying round in 2006-2007 season and they have been in UEFA Cup first round in 2001-2002 and 2006-2007 seasons and it is actually incredible feeling that you managed to win against team who played in Champions League.
I am most disappointed with all those draws in away fixtures because these teams aren’t really bad but my team still should beat them. I think the only team that could have beaten my team could be OKS because they were in Ekstraklasa between 1995-2002 seasons and they still kind of good team.
Transfers:
So let’s talk about the transfers which I made in winter transfer window. There were 3 transfers which I did and they are:
Michal Szostko LB/CB – Loan – Jagiellonia
Well he is still young and seems to be OK for team like Olimpia Elblag so I am hoping that he might have a good half-season in my team because I think he have potential to be one of better Ekstraklasa defenders in futures.
Petr Pokorny CB/SW – Free- Free Transfer
Well he might be 36-year-old defender but I think he still might have the rest of this season and maybe next season in good form and he also have experience in that league as it would be his 4th season in Polish First Division (and 9th overall) so that’s why I think he is good signing for me.
Artur Wichniarek ST- Free-Free Transfer
Yeah another experienced player in my squad but he still is best striker on my team now and he played 4 seasons in Hertha and he is one of top goalscorer for Bielefeld in which he scored 83 goals in 212 games. And I think that I am most happy that I have sign him because I think he might have good scoring season for me but I will have to wait and see.
Febuary/March Matches:
In Febuary I only play 1 game which is against:
Nieciecza (A)
And in Match I play 5 games against:
Radzionkow(H)
Olimpia Grudziadz (A)
Polonia Bytom(H)
GKS Katowice (A)
Zawisza (H)
So some hard games there will be in Febuary and March but I will not give up and I will to get similar results as I got at beginning of the season but it will be hard because as you could see my team lately had been off form so I think I might get around 3-5 points in those 6 games which will be really bad because I am only 1 point of relegation zone so in just matter of some games and I might find myself in relegation zone which I want in the last place.
