It’s been exactly seven days since I got to experience a little miracle, and I’m writing about it only today because I simply didn’t had time this week ;)

All SVWW fans were hoping that the new coach, Jochen Seitz, would get the team back on track and that the new signings would fit in well within the squad. But what they all conjured up on the pitch last Saturday not only makes us forget the poor start to the season, but also has us dreaming once again of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga…

English weeks in the 3rd Bundesliga. Away at Ingolstadt on Sunday, at home against Aachen on Wednesday, and away again in Regensburg on Saturday. The new manager, Jochen Seitz, seems to have made really good use of the long international break, as the team was already 2 goals ahead in Ingolstadt, then conceded an own goal and a counter-attack, before scoring two more goals in the last minutes to make the final score 2:4.

It’s like a curse… on the first matchday after the coach was fired, the guys (finally) scored 2 goals and beat Fortuna Köln at home to nil, only then to concede 3 goals at home against Duisburg within 15 minutes of the first half just 4 days later. OK, MSV is currently at the top of the standings and on a hot streak, but the ease with which they outplayed our defense was shocking. Like a hot knife through butter.

I’m a little ticked off. We had a terrible start to the new season over the first four matchdays; we’re in last place with only two points, and on Sunday we had the chance not only to play a good game at home against Mannheim but also to win, since Waldhof was only in 15th place with just 4 points at that time.
