    A new thread to track the progress of this season's biggest surprises in the Bundesliga. Coach Dardai has this team playing exciting and competitive football. Will be interesting to see if they can maintain this strong form into the Rückrunde.

    John Anthony Brooks signs a contract extension with Hertha until 2019.

    Heartbreaking draw against Bremen. They just can't win there.

    I felt that in the end it was a fair result. Hertha got ahead by two goals twice, but Werder never gave up and fought hard for the draw.

    Holding onto to that 3rd place with a scoreless draw against Dortmund.

    Hertha with a good chance to reach the DFB Pokal semi-finals as they take on Heidenheim away tomorrow. Werder and Dortmund already qualified.

    3:1 with 30 minutes to go, should be a win. Semi final will of course be an away match :rolleyes:

    Injury to Kalou, something about the interiour ligament in the right knee. Unfortunate.

    Heidenheim pull one back after a penalty to make it 2-3. Looks like it was Weiser who brought down one of their guys. Jarstein guessed right on the direction of the penalty but couldn't quite get a touch to stop it. Just have to hold on to the lead now with under 10 mins to go. Dardai subbed on Stark for more defensive coverage.

    Apart from the foul, Weiser had a really solid game going forward helping on the attack. Assisted on both of Ibisevic's goals.

    Are you sure Kalou's injury is serious? He appeared to be in decent mood when he walked off the pitch giving his jersey to a fan.

    Well, at least Hertha gets a home match for the semi-finals versus Dortmund.

    Nice to see another thread for the old lady. Gave up on the last one after it turned into a monologue :)

    Playing against Stuttgart on the road this weekend, might be a tough one. They're undefeated in 6 games with 4 wins in a row, and also have the best record so far in the Rückrunde. Looking forward to a good match.

    I don't feel good about this one. Even against Heidenheim you could see the tired.

    Depends on the central three. If Lustenberger, Skjelbred and Darida can play, Hertha will most likely win. If even one of them is out, Stuttgart has a very good shot. Hegeler is not a good replacement and Dardai doesn't consider Cigerci 90 minutes fit yet appearantly.

    Tough result, critical moment was when Brooks struck the post. Score would have been leveled at that point, and possibly alter the outcome. Depth and fitness is going to be an important factor at this point of the season. Schieber makes his return though. If he's able to score again like last season, then he'll play a good contributing role to this team.

    Was Dardai being a complete arse towards Hecking on the touchline? It looked really infantile and embarrassing, but I haven't seen any English-language reports yet to find out if there was any important context.

    Huh ? Didn't notice anything during the game and the German media didn't pick up on it either.

    He was "being an arse" towards the fourth official, due to Ibisevic being carded at his first foul after being consistently fouled with no punishment.

    Justifiable, if pointless. Both him and Preetz made statements about the Ibisevic situation after the match.

    Nice to see it sorted. Now for Esswein.

    Esswein could be an alright filler for the rotation. But I think a youngster like Sinan Kurt could be a better long-term option in the long run if given the chance.
