NORTH: Matarazzo still DNP due to injury. His club lost 0-1 to Essen. Thomas started and played 79 minutes as right mid in a 2-4 loss at Bremen Reserves. Maurer DNP in a 1-0 road win against Cologne Reserves. Gibbs went full 90 in a 1-2 road loss at Sachsen Leipzig. St Pauli scored the equaliser in the 89th and still lost the game... SOUTH: Cummins played the last 10 minutes in a 1-4 home loss vs Hoffenheim. The Coach risked everything with his substitution but it didn't pay off as the score was 1-2 before. Siegen only used van Buskirk as substitute from minute 64 on. He couldn't do anything to prevent his club from losing 0-2 to Elversberg with Gibson, Lawson and Mason going full 90. Lawson scored the eventual game winner in the 21st.
olafgb, Any idea why Maurer's playing time has been so slim this season? He was one of last year's big surprises and Wattenschied seemed to agree -- but they've hardly ever played him.
He started at the beginning of the season, but he caused some goals and is on the bench since quite a while because of that.
Just a little addition: Thomas gave the assist to the 1:0 (or was it the 2:1...at least to one of the goals). I would like to forget about the rest...
