February, Dreaming of Champions League Football...
February was a bit inconsistent, our defense didn't exactly do their job, but thankfully the strikers made sure goals were had. Heres a quick summary of this months matches played:
Koln(A),Schalke(H),Breman(A),Hamburg(A)
Koln was a piece of cake, Escudero put in a good performance, Stoppelkamp always does so I wasn't surprised. Unfortunately we couldn't pull an upset at home against Schalke, their youth prospects punished us, though we were 1-1 for a few minutes, until Draxler scored on us on a set piece. Breman was great, Escudero showed his true class, for a winter signing he's really managed to adapt quickly into the Bundes, and my style of play. Hamburg was messy, we sort of blew our lead more than once, the 82 minute goal was a harsh blow to take knowing we could have been only 1 point away from 2nd place. Oh, and did I mention we were predicted to finish dead last this season?
Februarys Player of the Month
No surprise here, Escudero - the "Japanese" International... He can be of any nationality he wants, as long as he keeps scoring as often for us!
