Keano16 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Now obviously I planned to have another three weeks between updates....no seriously... Moving onto the game, we have to be winning these kinds of games. Now, admittedly , I rotated the entire outfield team as I wanted everyone fresh to play West Ham in a few days, not that it'll likely matter mind. We created no real, tangible chances really, while Sayouba in goal made some much needed saves. Lets hope it isn't three weeks until my next update shall we? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano16 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Aren't you all getting lucky tonight? Two updates...really? I set out not to be embarrassed and we achieved that, putting up a respectable showing and even grabbing a goal after a lovely team move. In the end Calleri proved too clinical, scoring early and then after a defensive mistake to give the advantage to the Hammers. We had a few chances for an equalizer but unfortunately none found the back of the net. We'll have an enjoyable trip in London next week! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he has an off day when we come around to playing him again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano16 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Dreadful performance and I'm afraid we're after hitting a slump. Molde took an early lead after some nice football and then we got an, admittedly, undeserved equalizer. Lumanza rising highest to head in Meling's cross. A 20 yard strike restored the fair result and Molde left with the three points. We need to get it together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano16 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not the best next game to have, losing 4-1 on aggregate is respectful to Premier League opposition, although perhaps I should have gone for it more in the second leg. Regardless, a Feghouli strike and then an Ayew penalty from a Skjonsberg foul sealed a 2-0 win for the London side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano16 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Really should have won this game and we would have 9 times out of 10. Unfortunately, this was the tenth time. A 30 yard free kick gave Lillstrom their first and then Moe equalized off a corner getting us back in the game. However, a free kick headed back across the six yard box meant we somehow came away with nothing and our horrid run of form continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A badly needed win was secured thanks to a Hanche-Olsen goal on 64 minutes. The young centre half was immense at the back with 17 interceptions and 16 headers. A corner was cleared out as far as Kassi, picked out the centre half to turn and shoot past the Brann keeper. The final half an hour was extremely long and tense but we got over the line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano16 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 A convincing win thanks, in no small part, to Omoijuanfo on his return from injury with a brace. The first was a beautiful 23 yard strike from the edge of the box and his second a towering header at the back post after Aanesland stood the ball up. Lumanza rounded off the scoring with a goal from the edge of the area, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano16 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Just as I thought we were building momentum, we go an drop points that we shouldn't have. Omoijuanfo got his third in two games after a lovely team move to put us one up at the break. A disasterous Sayouba own goal however from a corner just after the reStart (I'll get my coat...) meant the away side left with a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keano16 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 So, we finished out the season in relatively good form, only losing to eventual champions Rosenborg after two set piece mistakes. Njie grabbing 4 in 7 games and Boli netting a brace against his former club. Unfortunately we finished outside the European spots in 4th on goal difference as Molde beat Aalesund 4-2. Still, a strong ened to the campaign where we were stuck in midtable (the board's expectations) for a period. Had Molde of won the cup final against our fierce rivals Valerenga, we would have gotten European football. They didn't, and so we just have to be happy with fourth. Boli and Omoijuanfo joint top scored with 12 goals apiece while Njie provided the most assists (League high), followed by Aanesland. Meling earned a first senior call up and cap at the end of the season and is unhappy as I refused to let him be able to join a bigger club. Boli scooped up both Fans Player and Young Player of the Year, also found time to pick up goal of the season. Bit disappointed at our cup run but pleased with our league finish and Europa League result. The board also announced a stadium expansion, why I don't know as we aren't in the best of shapes financially. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, it was very decent considering our midseason position. Coming that close to qualifying is frustrating but also shows we're not too far away.

Yeah, I guess it's one of those 9 times out of 10 Molde would win. They probably weren't just happy to beat us in the league on goal difference so they threw the game against our biggest rivals in the final. *puts tinfoil hat on* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
