    Next up is an away game. We're still in second. If we were to win on Saturday we would have twice as many points as we had in the entire first half of the season last year!

    Well we are beginning to add to our collection of injured players,its not as bad as last year but bobadilla was one of the guys i wanted to see him more in the mix this year:(
    As for hoppenheim...they always play well against us and have the luck on their side as well.This is our toughest games IMO after meeting bayern at AA.that one ended good for us...i so hope this one does as well:D

    The team dominated Leverkusen so it has the tools it needs to steal 3 points off them. I'd say 2-1

    The trick is that this game is on the road--but I really do not know what kind of support they get. Sure is a nice stadium though. It's quite close to the Sinsheim Technical Museum, which we visited in August, and we had a pretty good view of it.

    But we lost 1-0 instead,and i had a feeling we r going down...kindda a gut feeling Not sure..I could not watch this game tho.....I hope it was like the frieburg one at least..was it?
    Slowly we are feeling how each and every game is getting relevant to one another as the season moves deeper .....referring to our draw at home against 04, if we had won that game which clearly we should have this loss wouldnt be so much of a pain to worry about...but I hope that we are not slowly sinking in the direction of losses & draws..this team is not one that just breaks down like that anymore..maybe the lack of 3 key players was crucial...but I bet favre is really upset about this one...since there is a history to this place,a bitter one at that ...when he was at hertha....anyway it's a rainy Saturday combined by a gladbach loss...hummmmm...not sure what the cure may be?

    No, it's been even worse (well, Hoppenheim isn't Freiburg). After all, Yuki Otsu had his BL debut and Joshua King got his second game (same for Wendt, who replaced an unfit Daems over the whole 90 minutes as been the case in Freiburg)...
    Surely the worst performance of the season (we created just 1 real scoring opportunity this time - Marco Reus being marked very closely and so practically taken off of the game) ... but well, we can't dominate our opponents in every game. It's pretty confusing though why we always lose 0:1 on the road after an impressive home game performance (Wolfsburg, Nürnberg & Leverkusen).


    Hopefully we'll finally manage to score again on the road in the Cup this Tuesday night (19:00 o/c German time). Surely no easy game against a strong 3rd league squad from Heidenheim (that eliminated Werder Bremen in the 1st round).


    I really don't care. Seriously.

    Well we all kindda would love to stay on top of that table as high as possible...but frankly am not too worried about rankings right now..let's not forget it was almost certain we would be playing in the 2.liga this season...so anywhere Btwn1-10 would be a very excellent achievement to say the least!
    Favre has big plans for this club and also a soft spot for our tradition and historic roots ...what this club used to stand for...and am sure he is trying to aim for that ultimate peak...slowly and with great patience and detailed work..laying the right foundation for us and as long as we can see this happening I have no complaints whatsoever:D

    These guys eliminated BREMEN last round...so they must be a good side,even if luck was their guardian angel during the bremen game.Nonetheless i ilk to see some of our new signings & specially the younger less experienced play today...we need to slowly mix them up with the first team..to simply create more depth and different looks tactically during our bundesliga match-ups, so i hope to see that today:D

    TER STEGEN 2 - 0 FCH :D

    Obviously glad we won..but it was bit of strange game and am not sure if we played a bit flat (but disciplined) or they just played such a compact game against us.Or a little bit of all of the above???? Hope we can recover from this strenuous game good enough to take care of business at "Borussia Park" against 96:roll eyes:

    Obviously am glad we won and made it to the round of 16 ! It was bit of strange game which we could have ended up on the loosing side of the fence.Am not sure if we appeared a bit flat and never really found the desired flow and balance (but disciplined we played thank goodness for that) or they just played such a compact game against us ?? Or a little bit of all of the above???? Hope we can recover from this strenuous game good enough to take care of business at "Borussia Park" against 96 ;)
