Football Season Guide

They could manage to return to top level football one-year later following their relegation. It could be earlier as they had to play the play-off final despite standing at top two during the most of the last season. Ahead of the new season, they do not seem strong as they have been in the previous seasons. First of all, new coach Marcel Licka will experience his 4th coaching period following Dynamo Moscow, Orenburg and Dynamo Brest. It will be the toughest challenge in his career. They have lost the last season most scorer Wesley and he was not replaced yet. They had added three centr-backs Roco, Kurucuk and Ugrekhelidze. None of them are close to level of the league. With the arrival of Balkovec, they look safe at left back as they already have Cagatay. At right back, there is only inexperienced Kose on their hand. In midfield, they also looks secure as they have Cankaya, Doh, Adnan Ugur and Daniel Johnson. At left flank, they can produce score with Camacho & Serginho but the right flank looks very weak. Gray is still with them but he is far from his former form. Cukur will try to prove himself following his Roda JC adventure. There is another problem on the net as they have just have Beklevic except academy team keepers. In general, they do not seem ready for the new season at the moment.
