SV Atlas Delmenhorst: Is the descent ahead? Worries about the future!

SV Atlas Delmenhorst: Is the descent ahead? Worries about the future!

The Situation at SV Atlas Delmenhorst is currently anything but rosy. After seven league games without a win, in which only three draws and meager six goals were scored, the team is under pressure. The team of coach Dominik Schmidt currently occupies the penultimate place in the table and has the same number of points as the relegated FC Verden 04. The saving bank is not far away, because the SSV Vorsfelde only has three points on the account. The next upcoming game against SV Meppen II could be crucial to free yourself from the relegation zone or to get deeper into the crisis.

The upheaval in the team was larger than expected after relegation from the regional league. The club has experienced a drastic change with 14 new players, at the same time the same number of players were given. Sports board member Bastian Fuhrken, however, was optimistic and emphasized that the mood and cohesion in the team are better than last season. Nevertheless, there are concerns whether the quality of the squad is sufficient to remain in the league.

problem areas in the squad

The performance of the offensive outer lanes is one of the great weaknesses of the team. Last season, Shamsu Mansaray and Ousman Touray were the outstanding players on the wings, but both have left the club and so far there is no adequate replacement. Marcel Marquardt shone at the beginning of the season, but does not bring a classic outer lane style. Sinan Brüning, a promising talent, shows a lot of speed, but often has to struggle with his decision -making. Mohammed Sultani, who was originally committed as a full -back, also struggles as a foreign striker. In the last seven games, Atlas has only scored a total of six goals, which further tightened the tense situation.

The center forward Steffen Rohwedder cannot develop because he lacks support from the wings. A supervisor of one of the opponents described the offensive performance as inadequate compared to last season. A fresh wind could emerge from newcomer Tobias Fagerström, but he too is currently missing due to injury.

The central game events

Another problem is the lack of creativity in the central midfield. Last season Florian Stütz was a key person who structured the attack game with clever passes. But such a playmaker is currently missing and the players like Josip Tomic and Mats Kaiser have so far not been able to convince, especially Kaiser, who was injured for a long time, takes time to get back into shape. Justin Dähnenkamp, another attacker who has been identified as a key player, cannot yet call up his potential and has difficulties in the combination game.

The table speaks a clear language: Despite the performance shown, the team did not manage to score the necessary points. "The table is not lying", one could say, while Dominik Schmidt spoke to the psychological aspects: "It is a lot of headache. We need success", which indicates that mental blockages play a role. After an unfortunate tie against HSC Hannover, where Atlas was considered a better team, the morale of the team could continue to suffer.

Currently there is not only a lack of player quality, but also the necessary happiness in the game. The next few weeks could be crucial for the future of SV Atlas Delmenhorst, especially with regard to the upcoming games that could possibly decide on the class. It remains to be seen whether the team can free itself from the pressure and create the turn.
