DJT Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Guidelines for this thread In this thread post match updates on all Canadians abroad for February 10-16, 2012. If you find updates posted in some other thread or on the other Voyageurs forum then post them here as well, but be sure to credit the original poster. If there is news that is particularly significant (eg. someone scores a big goal, someone gets injured, etc.) then feel free to begin a new thread on that topic in order to draw greater attention or start a discussion, but also post that news here. Some comments on news posted in this thread are okay, but let's not let this thread go off into a long discussion. If the news already appears in another thread (as per the previous bullet) then post your comments in that other thread, otherwise if you want to say something significant or if it is likely to generate replies then begin a new thread.

Guest Ed Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Kicker has Randy Edwini-Bonsu listed as a starting striker for Eintracht Braunschweig vs SC Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga 2 tomorrow. Olivier Occean also in action tomorrow with Greuther Fuerth vs SC Paderborn. In the top flight, expect both Kevin McKenna (Koeln) and Marcel de Jong (Augsburg) to start on Sunday as they are back in action in the Bundesliga 1 vs Hamburg and Nuernberg respectively. Saarbruecken coach named Adam Straith as one of his top 2 players from last weekend's 2:2 draw. They are one of the few 3. Liga teams in action tomorrow (at home vs VfB Stuttgart reserves) due to unplayable pitches across Germany. JBB played 90 minutes today for Preussen Muenster in a 0:0 draw vs Werder Bremen reserves also in the 3. Liga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_K Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Kicker has Randy Edwini-Bonsu listed as a starting striker for Eintracht Braunschweig vs SC Karlsruhe in the Bundesliga 2 tomorrow. I wouldn't count on it. Fetsch is injured, so they are putting Edwini-Bonsu there because he came in as a sub for Fetsch in the last game. Personally I'd rate this as somewhat unlikely, though (not entirely impossible, but it would surprise me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSoccerFan Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can't believe Norwich are 8th and nipping at Liverpool's heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can't believe Norwich are 8th and nipping at Liverpool's heels Paul Lambert is a genius. I've never really complained about Jackson on the bench for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Paul Lambert is a genius. I've never really complained about Jackson on the bench for that reason. That is two games in a row Jackson has started. Amazingly, he seems to have taken Norwich's second leading scorer (8 goals) Morison's spot, as both times it was Morison coming in for Jackson late and basically playing the same position Jackson was. Simeon's resilience is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Ended 3-2 ... Jackson started, subbed out at 83' by Morison. Swansea scored on a penalty late, so 3-1 with Jackson, and 0-1 with Morison. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_K Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 And indeed Soccernet shows REB on the bench (in the second half) Have to admit that it wasn't that hard to predict - REB came in for Fetsch, but didn't play the same position. So him being a more likely replacement than a player who could actually play Fetsch's position only makes sense if you write for Kicker I guess. Anyway - was quite the sucky game. Edwini-Bonsu didn't come in, but it probably wouldn't have been the right game for him anyway, at this point. His weak spot so far has been physical play, and the game today didn't have much artistic value, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAddona Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Atiba starting at RB for PSV! If JDG2 and JH play for us, couldn't it make some sense to move Atiba to RB for the MNT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Atiba starting at RB for PSV! If JDG2 and JH play for us, couldn't it make some sense to move Atiba to RB for the MNT? Nope would be wasted there imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly tempting, as he'd be our best right back option by far. But even if JDG2 and JH were available, neither of them has a defensive bone in their body, which is one of the strengths that Atiba brings into the midfield.

I did think of that ... of course, putting him at RB would mean that one of Kluks / De Jong would not be on the field, where as we could put Kluks at RB, potentially, with Atiba in midfield.

This conversation probably does not belong in this thread, but my opinion is that De Jong and Klukowski are both so one-footed that they can't really be played on the right.

Standard Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Olivier Occean scores a goal & assists on another in Greuther Furth's 5-1 win over SC Paderborn in the 2.Bundesliga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Olivier Occean scores a goal & assists on another in Greuther Furth's 5-1 win over SC Paderborn in the 2.Bundesliga A huge win as they were in 4th and defeated 3rd place Paderborn moving to the top of the table in the process. However, the current 2nd and 3rd place teams both have a game in hand and play each other tomorrow. All possible outcomes of that game will slide them down to 2nd tomorrow but they will still be in an automatic promotion spot. In less pleasant news DeJong started for Augsburg today but was subbed out due to an ankle injury in the 8th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmy_14 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 De Jong's injury did not look very serious, he got tackled on the left ankle and then continued to play for another 5 minutes before calling for a substitution. I am just wandering what he injured last time, hope it's not that ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It's interesting that Greuther Fürth has gotten the ex-Schalke big unit, Gerald Asamoah, to partner Occean. Can only be good for Olivier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
