Der Lowen are Der Rubbish

It's been a few weeks since I updated you all on the trials and tribulations of Der Lowen, and I am afraid there isn't much cheer to spread. The cup run is over, the lads were unable to repeat the upset of Hertha in the previous round, as high flying Shalke beat them 3-0 at the Allianz. Still, they were never going to win it, so it was time to focus on the league. Or so you would think. An away game at rock bottom FSV Frankfurt presented the perfect chance to get the league campaign back on track. They hadn't won all season, and had managed just two draws, as 1860 pulled in to town, but as you might have guessed, that all changed as TSV were beaten 3-2. Next was a fixture at home against second place Kaiserslauten, the kind of game that we usually put up a performance, and gain a result. Not this time, 1-0 to the visitors. So this weekend it was a trip to mid table Cottbus, and the hat trick was completed with another loss by a solitary score. So now the defence is playing alright, but they can't score. Another long season stretches before us....

On a happier note, Lars Bender scored his first top flight goal on the weekend, and helped to shoot Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the league.
