Season 65

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Missed yesterday's update due to being busy, so a little extra for today.

Firstly, Rhondda Rovers reserves beat Deportivo 5-0 in their own back yard with a comfortable win. Musebeliu has been on fire recently and currently has 4 goals in the League. Decent return so far.



In the second round of the Champions League, Rhondda Rovers cruised to a 5-1 away victory over Doc Adam. However, as per other managers frustrations, Rhondda Rovers suffered two injuries in the match, Lopez in midfield (who is becoming a bit injury prone at present) and Chikin in attack. Lopez had an instant recovery while Chikin was rested for one day before being fully fit.



That is now 2 in 2 in the Champions League, with us playing second place (who have also won both games) tomorrow.

Finally, Rhondda Rovers played the second leg of the Cup against BadAss XI with the tie currently 0-0. After watching the game for about 10 seconds, I left the game and hoped for a win. Thankfully, we pulled through and won 2-1, sending us through to the next round.



However, Nordeus thought it would have a laugh and injure Shivyakov in the 88th minute. He is currently awaiting a decision on treatment. Pricks.

EDIT: Just played my League match against Dayerson and, despite a worrying first half where we were struggling to score but dominating, the quality told in the second half and Van Buyten turned it on.



No injuries either. Nordeus read the above beforehand............maybe.

As y'all can see it was a very shaky start on the road but in form CM Segreste came up huge again in the first leg not only providing the equalizer but 2 mins later making it a brace with what would be the eventual winner and a 3rd critical road goal.

This puts OR in a good position coming back home but it certainly does not clinch advancement against the lvl 7 opp. After falling in this same round last season for my first and to date only 2 legged loss it is critical for morale to see the team on the the round of 32.


That is the only game on schedule today. Tomorrow is a 3 game day capped off with a late match against the only team capable of staying in the league race against me. They are only .5 points below OR on avg and are also 4-0-0 to start the season with 17/1 GF/GA compared to our 20/0.
