Weimar loses 1: 4 - coach Orlamünde fights with personnel worries!

Weimar. A bitter day for SC 03 Weimar! The Thuringia League brought a bitter 1: 4 defeat against the strong guests of Blau-Weiß Neustadt/Orla. Coach Holger Orlamünde was visibly disappointed after the game, especially about a dismissal that further tightened the already tense game shortly before the end.

not everything was lost! A bright spot was Manuel Staatz's Comeback, which was finally back on the pitch after a long fight against a cruciate ligament tear. After an hour, he caused a sensation with an impressive goal for 1: 2. "It came a little out of nowhere," said Orlamünde. "After that we had our best phase, but overall we were too harmless." However, the joy of the goal was only briefly, because the Weimarers conceded two more goals in the final phase and also lost their captain Frederik Windhauer, who flew off the square with yellow-red in added time.

Personnel problems for Weimar

"Of course, our personnel situation doesn't make it easier," complained Orlamünde. While the offensive stabilized somewhat with the return of Staatz and Ben Neefe, it looks bleak in the defense. Justin Szatmari is injured, and now Windhauer will also be missing in the last game of the year. "We have to think about Bad Frankenhausen for the game on Saturday, December 7th," said the coach. The situation is still exacerbated by the victories of Saalfeld and Meiningen, because Weimar now has the red lantern. A victory before the winter break is urgently needed to strengthen the team's morale and recharge the batteries.
