Pogon- Meet The Club

http://s40.photobucket.com/user/fzemdegs/media/Untitled_zps3e50a68b.png.html

Before we get the rest of our season underway, let’s meet the Pogon squad and get a brief look at who this obscure, Polish club is.

History

MKS Pogon Szczecin are a professional football club playing in the Polish Ekstraklasa. The club was founded in 1948 by Poles who had been transferred to the west of Poland from Ukraine by the Soviet Union. The club had mild success up until 2002, when it was on the brink of bankruptcy. However, it was then bought out and renamed Pogon Szcescin. The club gained promotion to the Ekstraklasa in 2012/13 and have remained in Poland’s top flight ever since.

Squad

The Pogon squad is actually quite talented, and was expected to finish 8th but failed quite catastrophically so far. I’ll focus on the best players in the squad, starting with the key players.

Key Players

Marcin Robak
CA:
PA:
Position: Striker
Preferred Role: Target Man
Technical Strengths: Finishing, Penalty Taking, Heading
Mental Strengths: Determination, Aggression, Work Rate
Physical Strengths: Strength, Balance, Natural Fitness

My new Heskey! :)) Robak is the best player in the team and leading the Ekstraklasa goalscoring charts despite the team’s shoddy form. A good technical player and of course in the air, he will be my barometer.

Takuya Murayama
CA:
PA:
Position: Attacking Midfielder (Right)/MR
Preferred Role: Inside Forward
Technical Strengths: First Touch, Technique, Dribbling
Mental Strengths: Teamwork, Off the Ball, Creativity
Physical Strengths: Natural Fitness, Pace, Acceleration

The (hopefully) supply for Robak, Murayama has great technical ability, perfect for delivering through balls and crosses to big Marcin up front. He likes to play as an inside forward but will be used as a winger.


Takafumi Akahoshi
CA:
PA:
Position: Midfielder (Centre)/AMR, AMC
Preferred Role: Advanced Playmaker
Technical Strengths: Passing, Technique, First Touch
Mental Strengths: Creativity, Decisions, Anticipation
Physical Strengths: Balance, Agility, Stamina

Akahoshi is the second of my Japanese duo, and is the midfield linchpin. He has great awareness and can pick out passes very well, with great creativity and technique.


Radoslaw Janukiewicz
CA:
PA:
Position: Goalkeeper
Preferred Role: Goalkeeper
Technical Strengths: Reflexes, Throwing, Handling
Mental Strengths: Work Rate, Determination, Positioning
Physical Strengths: Strength, Natural Fitness, Acceleration

The man between the sticks will be vital, and he’s a good player to have there. Janukiewicz has good reflexes and is very good physically, hopefully he can stop goals on a regular basis.

Rest of the Squad

November- Bottom Of A Steep Hill

http://s40.photobucket.com/user/fzemdegs/media/Untitled_zps85214a85.png.html

Takuya Murayama scored the only goal of my 2 matches in November

I arrived at Pogon in mid-November, and I only had 2 games to play until the month was over. Looking at the table, 13th out of 16th was bad to start with but it was magnified when I discovered that Pogon had lost their last 6 games, and 12 out of the last 14! It would be a daunting task to simply get a point with the team’s morale, let’s see how I did against Widzew and Lubin.



Pogon Szczecin vs Widzew Lodz

http://s40.photobucket.com/user/fzemdegs/media/Untitled_zpsb91f528f.png.html

0-0
Pogon Starting XI- Janukiewicz, Brzyski, Piter-Bucko, Hernani, Tortosa, Golla, Akahoshi, Lawa, Wisniecki, Murayama, Robak
Piotr Kieruzel (Widzew)

My first match in charge of Pogon Szczecin was against midtable Widzew Lodz, a very average team capable of shutting opponents down. At our home ground, Floriana Krygeria, the fans showed a lot of support for me and seemed to spur our team on. However, no-one could break the stalemate despite some hits on the crossbar. Our counter-attacking play was broken up by Widzew, who defended marvellously. Against a team above us, I think this was a positive performance, and I don’t expect immediate fireworks. Piotr Kieruzel won the man of the match award with a great display in defence for the Lodz outfit.



Zaglebie Lubin vs Pogon Szczecin

http://s40.photobucket.com/user/fzemdegs/media/Untitled_zpsf60d0e23.png.html


1-2
Pogon Starting XI- Janukiewicz, Brzyski, Piter-Bucko, Hernani, Tortosa, Golla, Akahoshi, Lawa, Pietruszka, Murayama, Robak
Korzym 34’
Korzym 35’
Murayama 52’
Maciej Korzym (Lubin)

A very big task lay ahead of me, as we travelled to Lubin to play the second placed team on the table, just behind Legia. We started well, and had a lot of possession in the first 30 minutes. However, a lapse in concentration led to Lubin spearhead Maciej Korzym scoring an easy finish after 34 minutes, and it was evident that heads were dropping because he scored again just a minute later. At half time, I reassured the boys they were doing fine and they were a new team after the break, with Murayama’s goal giving us a slimmer of hope. But Lubin then went into ultra-defensive mode, meaning we closed out the game 2-1. It was a great result to be honest, a good effort away from home against a quality side.

We currently sit in 15th, firmly inside the relegation zone, and it seems that we are destined to be battling it out inside the relegation championship. I just need to get these guys into form so we can survive the mini-league relegation, and then I can rebuild next season.



Wojciech Golla

http://s40.photobucket.com/user/fzemdegs/media/Untitled_zps9a64bf6a.png.html

The young defensive midfielder, brimming with potential, was the best player over the course of a disappointing month. He managed to maintain good defensive discipline despite the onslaughts and kept the team steady and solid from defensive midfield.

Next time is my first full monthly review! Join me then on Pogon: Polska Power!
Love the graphics, results not so much - but I'm sure SPL will improve the team's fortunes!
Graphics on point good luck in Polanddd
