Skidding at the start

Hello dear readers, Blog post #815. Season 6 of my Dresden story began with some kind of towing. It's caused by blending into squad of newcomers and sale of Marko Pavlovski. It seems we are not ready to play stably without Marko just right now. So as the result, my team unexpectedly lost 4 points making draws with Nurnberg and Dusseldorf .

Hello dear readers, How do you think: what am I going to write about now? The first thought would probably be: Belgium at World Cup 2014 in the real life. Well no.
