Next game we can’t let the defeat affect us. We have midtjylland away. One of our hardest fixtures of the season.I want more from the attack but I felt it was important to give a striker a run in the team. Therefore Opoku starts again. He repaid my faith with style. Scoring a rocket from just outside the area to open the scoring 5 mins into the match. Iredale doubled are lead in the 75th. Coming off the bench to slot home in the bottom left and reel away in celebration. That was the proudest I’ve been as AAB manager. Phenomenal from the lads. Widell was MOTM. He got an assist and was excellent keeping the press going from midfield. I’m so glad the boys rallied together after a poor result. Is it time to start believing we can win the league? We have the guys the next day off from training as a reward.
To ruin the positive atmosphere Idris Said has submitted a transfer request as he feels homesick. That’s unfortunate as he is a key defender for us and at 16 has bags of potential, but he clearly doesn’t feel he has settled to life in Denmark properly. We will address that in the summer. Luckily he signed a 5 year deal so the ball is in our court.
So you lost to Silkeborg, pretty much against the run of play. You must still be in the good end of the table though. Will you post a league table at some point? That would certainly make it easier to see how well you do.
Silkeborg had more of the ball. Two shots on goal against your four: fairly equal, small defeat.
What I sense is that in this game it's more about the possession that you do have. And the number that expresses that the best (at least with me) is passing accuracy. Whomever has the better passing accuracy usually wins (bad weather circumstances excepted).
Our next game faced us off against Vejle Boldklub at home. Iredale scored after 27 mins to put us ahead with a sweet finish into the bottom left corner. Iredale would double are lead in the 51st minute after a cute turn rounded the defender so he could hammer it at the near post. Opoku slotted home in the 82 minute after stealing the ball from a defender to make it three. Finally Skov made it four after Opoku squared him the ball on a fast counter attack. A devastating attacking display for the fans to be proud of. Surprising to see AAB only had 35% of the ball. MOTM was Iredale.
The next game I had to miss due to illness. My assistant manager Jack Cassidy took charge and managed a 1-0 away win vs Sonderjyske. The bad boy Jorgensen scored the only goal.
We the hosted giants København who will be seeking revenge. Haas was forced off with injury in the 30th minute. Hopefully it won’t be long term. AAB have been very lucky this season with injuries. 8 mins later we got awarded an extremely suspect penalty when the keeper caught the ball at Ross feet. Opoku slotted home. The København team were incensed. Our fans started chanting louder and louder. The rivalry really started heating up. We were the new kids on the block and they were not happy. A really tight game ended 1-0 but fires were lit in this context. MOTM was easily Diakhite who stopped a sweaty goal late on. After the game it was confirmed Haas is out for 4 weeks with a pulled quad.
The next game was away to Nordsjaelland. It took until the 78th minute to break them down when widell shot cannoned off the crossbar into John’s path who diving headed it home. The game finished 1-0.
When looking I couldn’t find the record for a single season clean sheets in Denmark. But Mullers 15 in 18 games has to be some form of record surely?
Now we’re up to January and also the winter break. Daniel Ask has returned from is loan at Vasteras. This adds much needed depth in central midfield. Lb caballo has agreed to join Alanyaspor at the end of the season on the Bosman ruling. No other buisness was done for us in January. The biggest worldwide deal was Bernardo Silva joining spurs from man city for £65m.
Opoku finished with aplomb in the 28th to make it one nil against Viborg. He has really come into his own for the second half of the season and it will be interesting to see if we can retain him for next season. That once again would be how the match would end. The fans chanted the familiar 1-0 to the AaB. 30% of the ball only but if they aren’t going to use their possession I guess whats the point in them having the ball. It is rumoured some FC Koln scouts were at the game watching Muller….
The next game we host 11th place Lyngby. The first start since returning from loan for Ask. Lets see if he ‘Ask’s’ any questions regarding the usual starting lineup. John had to unfortunately go off injured to be replaced by Skov in the second half. John will be out for 4 weeks with a knee sprain. Iredale scored a dramatic late winner in the last kick of the game to secure the three points and get us another 1-0 victory! MOTM was Said. I forgot to get the match stats (sorry).
Prior to the next game my assistant manager advised me he believes Skov should be made club captain. Whilst this isn’t something I will act on it is good to see the academy graduate is gaining praise from the staff that work with him every day!
We then travel away to Randers. They opened the scoring through Odey in the 14th minute. That’s how it would stay. We lose the game unfortunately. Campbell JR was by far their best player on the day.
Our final league game of the season sees us against 2nd place Brondby. We go into the game 9 points clear. We started really well. Skov slotted home in the 7th minute after Iredale squared the ball. Skov then assists Iredale returning the favour just after half time. Late on in the 88th minute Wass scored to put the pressure of a come back on but it was too late! We win the game and secured top spot for the league stage. We now enter the playoffs.
In news away from the playoffs youngster Beck has started training with the first team. An 18 year old who is known to ‘have that something special’ he seems like a quick dribbling left winger.
You dominated the regular season, well done. Let's see if you can go on repeat in the championship round, because from what I've seen in the career of @JustinCase0110 , things can be turned on its head suddenly.
A rainy day in Denmark. The pitch was sodden. København take an early lead with some trickery from achouri to get through our defense. Gutierrez leveled in the 19th min. 4 mins after København scored to equalize. I picked up my first yellow card of the season after reacting to a hard challenge on Skov that didn’t result in any form of a card! Disgraceful refereeing! The game did end 1-1. We seemed to give in to the pressure a little and didn’t create too much.
Another rainy affair. Our second game took place against Nordsjaelland. In the 26th minute Pudel gave away a penalty. Ingvartsen made it 1-0 with a panenka. Lack of a clinical edge costs us and we drop points for the second game in a row.
We had to improve. Especially with Brondby next. And we did just that. Jorgensen put us 1 nil up after a mazy run through their defense in the 20th min. Jorgensen would bag a brace just after half time slotting it low to the keepers left. A great 2-0 victory that puts us back in form!
Maybe not yet the title, but I suppose we can already congratulate with making it to the Champions League qualifiers: Brøndby isn't going to bridge a 12 point gap with 7 games left with the form you're in.
I hope not. From a playable perspective I would of loved their to be a more competative race but I do think we have played well above expectations this season thus far.
The chairman has instructed for a creation of Aab News. A paper who are a direct source from the club to the fans. With this the manager will often give direct messages to the fans in order to improve fan experience and overall connectivity with the football club!
Extraordinary season for AaB. Well done. Good idea with the introduction of AaB News, and I like the club awards etc. However, there's something about the new format that makes it quite small and difficult to read. It was much easier on the eye before...
what a busy window. Our first signing was the return of right back bruus. after a successful loan spell we brought him back to the club for £1m from Troyes. Bruus agreed an important role on a 4 year contract on £7.5k per week.
we then signed Arnau rafus to provide cover in the goalkeeper department after he had been released by valladolid.
the first departure of the window was want away defender idris said. he attracted intrest from england and left for £2.5m to norwich city.
we needed some cover at full back. That came in the form of brondby youngster clement biscoff. his versatility could be a key develoment point for his. he signed on a 5 year deal on an undisclosed fee and his key reason for leaving was for champions league football.
winger diagne has left the club to join osk for £300k.
moller joined charlton for £250k.
nielsen has joined cagliari on a season long loan with an option to buy on £3m.
a major blow as two days after the first game of the season muller had his release clause of £2m was met by toulouse. this meant with a heavy heart he would leave. we wish him all the best in his future career. in response we brought in young goalkeeper tobias jakobsen from vb with a view for rafus to be our new number 1.
in a devastating double blow we accepted an offer from cardiff for star player john for £2m. our response was simple. sign bovalina for 800k and then start training new signing biscoff to be a winger.
we needed a leader. some experience to help our young side. We also needed someone who could actually take a set piece. That is why we targetted wass from Brondby. We managed to agree a £600k deal for the 36 year old.
Matches
We started the season off at home against randers. thus far we have not recieved much interest for any of our main players luckily so we go into this game relatively unchanged. A full debut for academy graduate moen is a standout. Bruus also makes his permanant debut. john started off the same as he did last season. on fire opening the scoring in the 36th min. unfortunately without said we dont seem as tight at the back. They equalised through odey just before half time. in the 65th minute tho we would get a penalty when iredale was brought down.iredale converted the pen to make it 2-1. disaster struck for AAB as gutierrez was sent off for a disgraceful challenge two mins after the penalty. we would see it out though and win 2-1. Great way to start the season.
the second game saw us face s.i.f away. the game would end as a boring 0-0. The most interesting thing about it was that nathan redmond plays for s.i.f.
Boss Notes
As stated previously. We were always going to have some turnover. It is a shame to lose Muller as he was so important last season. John as well. Please dont worry though we will rejuvinate and build!

It isn't. We're fortunate that you're quite elaborate with your texts, otherwise I couldn't even make out the score.
All images on this forum are brought back to a width of 700 px (no matter the original size), so the best thing is to bring the original size of the image you want to upload back to such a width.
Or, when you feel like posting 1600x900 or HD size (1920x1080), try and look at 40% size on whatever program you use to see if it's readable for yourself.
It was always coming. The only question was where. John rejected Cardiff and chose Watford at the last hour. A stalwart under manager Hunter and an AAB fan favorite at the club John prepared a leaving message to the fans. 'It is with a heavy heart that I am to Leave to pastures new. I wish to thank the magnificent AAB fans for the support you have given me. This is not goodbye it is see you later. I would also like to thank Hunter for giving me his faith and developing me to be the man I am today. Thank you all'. How AAB replace John is up for debate. He was a creative force on that right hand side.
Midtjylland
Our next game we took on Giants Midtjylland. Johns last game for the club occured here. We created very little as they were resoloute defensively. The game finished 0-0.
As you will have seen in the last game against Midtjylland. We used Bischoff in a more advanced role. I believe that he can develop into a right sided player to replace the void John will leave and that he has been misprofiled as a defender. Therefore this will occur more and more in the future. I would like to take a moment to wish John the best. he has been an amazing servant and player for us and he deserves this opportunity. Who knows. He may return some day. Next we are going to need your support. We have our first Champions League qualifying round vs Ferencvarosi. They are an attacking side with a quality team and we need all the help we can get to progress. See you out there!!
