Ten matches in, and the table is honest for once

Fourth, eight points behind Kirchberg, and good enough to go up if three things change.

Nordtal are fourth after ten matches, and for once the table looks like the football.

We are eight points behind Kirchberg. We have beaten the sides below us, lost to Kirchberg and Ostheim, and drawn the one match in September we should have won. That is a fourth-place record, and both of us have been saying so on the bus since September.

The question for the rest of the autumn is whether this team can beat a side above it. It has not managed that since February.
