Dresden Collapse Without Pote in Derby

After storming off, and assualting a team-mate in the last Dresden match, striker Mickael Pote sat out the Saschen Derby with Aue, as 21 year old loan signing Johaness Wurtz took his place, his first start since a loan move from Werder Bremen. The dropping of Pote has sparked a spate of rumours that he's unhappy at Dresden, but with no official comment from either himself or the club, his future seems to still be up in the air.
Pote's absence is one of two changes to the Dresden lineup today, as Kleberson replaces Losilla in the heart of midfield, with his maturity hopefully a major factor in this match.
Dresden XI to face Aue
Kirsten, Schuppan, Susac, Bregerie, Menz, Kleberson, Fiel, Dedic, Trojan, Koch, WurtzSubs: Sabah, Losilla, Hartmann, Benyamina, Balogun, Kempe, Aoudia
First Half
Dresden started brightly, and new man Wurtz made an instant impact: Some great team play brought the ball to the edge of the Aue area, where Trojan played a smart one-two with Koch, before lifting the ball over the goalkeeper, where Wurtz met it with a powerful volley to put Dresden ahead. 1-0 afrer just five minutes.
The defensive frailties that Ingolstadt exposed last game, returned to haunt Dresden after 15 minutes, when Susac's careless challenge brought down Fink just inside the box, and the referee gave a somewhat soft penalty. Susac saw yellow for his protests, and Paulus made no mistake with the spot kick to bring Aue level.
With Dresden on the back foot, Fink met Janjic's square ball with his right foot, sending the ball crashing into the roof of the net, and silencing the Dresden fans. Could Young's side come back from this? Trojan had once again signalled to the bench that he needs to come off, and he was replaced by Tobias Kempe after just half an hour. Kempe quickly fell victim to a poor challenge from an Aue defender, as the game became more and more heated, but he shook his head when asked if he needed to come off, and just before half time, his mazy run and snapshot across the Aue goalmouth were a late warning shot to the Aue defence.
Half Time
After half-time, the Dresden front line was re-arranged slightly: Kempe moved out to the left wing, while Wurtz dropped into the hole, and Benyamina replaced the toothless Dedic. To no avail however, has Janjic capitalised on a defensive error to make it 3-1 to Aue, and practically bury Dresden's comeback hopes.
Benyamina and Susac both had chances to equalise with 20 minutes remaining, but Benyamina's shot was palmed behind for a corner, and Susac's header was wild, and ended up in the stands. With little left to lose, Young told his players that they "better start playing f%~*ing football."
With the short Englishman on the touchline seemingly losing it, and his side falling apart, Guido Kocer put the result beyond doubt with a spectacular over-head kick which found the top corner of the net.
Full Time: Aue 4-1 Dresden
