No Molde manages to explain the downturn – Dagbladet.no

LILLESTRØM (Dagbladet For less than six months ago completed Molde an adventure of a season by winning both series and Cup. Tor Ole Skullerud debutår ended in club history’s first The Double.

Of 37 games in cup and league in 2014, lost the blue just three. In 2015, the three ligatap in the first eight series rounds. The last came against Lillestrøm on Åråsen Wednesday night.

– What is the difference between the Molde team that rolled over everything and everyone last fall, and what we see now?

– First and foremost, that we let the opponent to very many chances in a couple of away games, says Tor Ole Skullerud.

– Aside from that, I think we are recognizable in the accomplishments we have made at home. There has been much good so far, but there are two away games I do not understand, says Skullerud Dagbladet.

Skullerud head itching

He thinks of losses against Viking (1-2 in Stavanger 4th) and Lillestrøm (1-2 on Åråsen yesterday).

– I do not understand why we seem so both matches. I scratch my head a lot because of it, continuing coach.

Martin Linne also struggle to put into words why did look more vulnerable than last fall:

– Well, say it. A difficult question, really. We can not get it completely to sit away from home. At home we have been solid and we’ve had two strong victories there recently. But gone, we struggle to clog, and then we measure against unfavorable time. We often take the lead, but rotate it away. We are not happy with at all, responds national team and Moldes right back.

– Disappointing and odd

Chief of Defence Vegard Forren believes training efforts do not suggest that the team should be worse than last year.

– No, it is a bit difficult. There is a good mood in the field, it is good quality, and you notice that there is a gang that every day will be better. Training Weeks ours are very good, so it is disappointing and strange that we are so weak that we have been in the last two away games. We have much more inside, we have much more to offer. It’s about to get it out, says Forren.

– It must begin with 110 percent effort and pressure, and then we have to win challenges. For we are more than good enough to cope with all if we have the effort needed.

Fighting for small

He can not point to any specific reason why Molde – that the vast majority described as series favorite and locomotive for a month ago – is now fifth in the Premier League.

– The capacity is the same as it was last autumn. There are a lot of margins in football, and we work in the same way, but currently we are not as good as we want to be. Whether it is because each one must go in themselves and provide more, I do not know. But the capacity and skills are there, so it’s about getting back what worked very well last year. Away from home, we were perhaps more cynical, saying Forren, and elaborates:

– The last two away games we have not won enough battles, and we have not run more than the opposing team. Then we lose football games, no matter how good we are with ball.

Get Quotes revenge?

May 16 comes Stabæk Molde. Before the party gives Forren following guarantee:

– I can guarantee that we come back strong. I do not think we have lost two games in a row on the year and day. It motivates us when we know we have more to offer, and when Stabæk going Molde, will hopefully they shall pay. It will be tough for them, says Forren Dagbladet.

– Stabæk becomes very important. They need to beat. They are six points ahead of us already and at home we have to take them, says Martin Linne.
