November-December 2003

We were poor as we travelled to Stasiak Opoczno, and midway through the second half conceded a goal to Bala. We improved a little in the second half, but couldn’t find the net and lost 1-0.

Jacek Berensztajn scored his first goal for the club early on in the home tie with Podbeskidzie, but Wozniak headed the visitors on the half hour with their only attack of the game. Just before the break we were handed a penalty that Leszczynski put away. Kowalczyk added a third midway through the second half, and we were back on track.

We got off to a poor start away at Szczakowianka, conceding to Krol in the very first minute. We got our act together as the half wore on, and seven minutes before the break Folc equalised. Leszczynski put us ahead just after the restart, and before the hour mark Kowalski fired in a third. We eased up after that, but the result was assured.

Poor defending early on at Blekitni saw us go 2-0 down inside 12 minutes to goals from Kosiorowski and Rudnicki, and it seemed that Blekitni would score on every foray forward. In the end, they had to settle for just one more, Rudnicki getting it eight minutes before the break.

Our last game before the winter break was a home tie with Aluminium, and it wasn’t pretty. We were slightly better, and ten minutes from time won the game through a Leszczynski penalty. Kruk was sent off five minutes from time for the visitors, but a win is a win.

It’s been a difficult month for us, but with Jagiellonia also struggling to string too many results together, we still find ourselves up there in contention. That being said, the top three do seem to be pulling away, and it’s just a matter of whether or not we can stay in the top two for the rest of the season.

Winter Break 2003-2004

Eleven weeks is a long time, especially when there’s no football to be playing. And with the transfer window only opening in early February, it was a bit boring around the club. We don’t have a lot of money to splash around, and there was only one signing during the period. That was 24-year-old right winger Michal Godras for £2,000 from Pogon, although he’ll be hard pushed to dislodge Bogdan Jowiak from the first team.

February 2004

We were back in action away at Zaglebie, and were soon behind to a Lobodzinski strike. But we soon got back into the game, and Marcin Folc equalised on twenty minutes. We were playing well now, and just before the break Folc put us ahead. Zaglebie came out strong in the second half, and equalised within five minutes through Sobdewski. But we have a fantastic strike in the form of Folc, and on 63 he grabbed his hatrick to put us back in front. Seven minutes later Jozwiak added a fourth and we had a very good win.

Next up was a home tie with Polar, and both sides were terrible. Chances were at a premium all game, until four minutes from time when Budka struck to condemn us to defeat.

March 2004

First up was a home tie with Piast, and after a dominant but unfruitful first half we were awarded a penalty early in the second half and Leszczynski put us ahead from the spot. Twelve minutes later Leszczynski added a second. Baluszynski pulled a goal back for the visitors nine minutes from time, but we held on for a victory.

We had been holding out well at Belchatow, but in first half injury time Pokladowski was on hand to put the home side ahead. Two minutes into the second half Mrowiec doubled the lead, and although Kowalczyk pulled a goal back on the hour, we couldn’t find another one.

Folc scored early on at home to Tloki, and that should have signalled a goal rush. But we failed to take advantage of our dominance, and seven minutes into the second period Szmuc struck to draw Tloki level. We though have an excellent striker in Marcin Folc, and he struck on 74 to give us a somewhat undeserved victory.

We welcomed KSZO to Brzeznicka, but we soon found ourselves a goal down to a Golaszewski effort. We battered them for the rest of the first half without any success, and we tired in the second half as the visitors claimed their first victory of the season, only to learn that they had been relegated anyway.

The trip to high-flying Jagiellonia was going to be a crucial match, and after just two minutes Kowalczyk had us ahead. There was no more scoring before half time, although it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Twenty minutes into the second half Folc doubled our lead, but four minutes later Kobeszko pulled a goal back. Six minutes later though Kowalczyk made it 3-1, and although Kubisz pulled another goal back, Folc made sure of the points with a fourth in injury time.

We’ve been in no sort of form since the winter break – winning four and losing three of our seven games. Worse is that after a win, we lose, and after a loss, we win. It’s so frustrating, but such is the form of the other sides in the league, that we still remain top with only eight games to go.

April 2004

We were on the back foot from the 9th minute away at Ruch Chorzow when Bizacki put them ahead, and we never really recovered from that. Bizacki doubled the lead just before the break, and although Folc pulled a goal back for us just after the restart, Suker struck twenty minutes from time to condemn us to yet another loss.

The home tie with Cracovia started well, and goals from Tomasiak and Folc has us 2-0 up at half time. But nine minutes into the second half Zawadzki pulled a goal back from the penalty spot, and with twenty minutes left Zawadzki equalised; again from the penalty spot. The game was turned on its’ head when Zawadzki completed his hatrick, but Godras’ first goal for the club gave us a frustrating draw.

The trip to Pogon was another important game, and we played well. Ten minutes before the break Tomasiak gave us the lead, and we were in command. And when Jozwiak scored a second on the hour things were looking good. But twelve minutes later Drumlak pulled a goal back for the home side and things were started to look dodgy again. Tomasiak restored our two-goal lead from the penalty spot soon after, but just four minutes later Blazejwski scored for Pogon to set up a tense finale. And in the last minute of injury time Moskalewicz wrestled two points away from us, earning Pogon a 3-3 draw.

The last game of the month was a disappointing home tie with LKS. We looked sharp in the first half, but fell away in the second, even when LKS has Kryskinski sent off seven minutes into the second half.

There are just four games left now, and they’re going to be massive for all clubs involved. Everyone down to Pogon in 6th can have realistic ambitions of a top-three position, and our trip to Arka in early May is going to be an enormous game for both clubs.

May 2004

The trip to Arka was to prove to be a classic. Both sides had their chances early on, but just before the half hour Folc struck twice to put us in a strong position. Arka came back immediately; Jasinski pulling a goal back on 38, and then equalising in first half injury time. Ten minutes into the second half Arka had Bubnowicz sent off, and on 67 Kowalczyk put us back in front. Arka pummelled us for the last twenty minutes, and five minutes from time they earned themselves a 3-3 draw thanks to a Siara strike.

Another important game was up next as we hosted Stasiak Opoczno. We were on top throughout the game, and we helped when the visitors had Bazler sent off on 27 minutes. But for all of our efforts, we couldn’t quite find the net, and it was turning out to be a very frustrating afternoon. Twelve minutes from time Folc finally broke though, and he added a second two minutes later to leave us on the very of promotion.

But things weren’t to go to plan as we travelled to Podbeskidzie, and we fell to a 70th-minute from Salami to set up a tense final day of the season.

Jagiellonia had already won promotion, but we went into our home tie with relegated Szczakowianka knowing that we could still miss out, even on a playoff place. Folc had the nerves calmed when he struck on 18 minutes with a well-struck free kick, but Rudnicki equalised for the visitors five minutes before the break. Kurek restored our lead almost immediately, and on the hour Berensztajn put us 3-1 ahead. Kompala pulled a goal back six minutes later to make things interesting, but Kowalczyk responded with a fourth, and Folc wrapped up the victory and promotion with a fifth twelve minutes from time.

Jagiellonia could only manage a draw at home to LKS, and that means that we win the Second Division. :eek:

It’s been a very good season for us, and winning the championship just crowns our season. It was probably no real surprise that I was awarded the Manager of the Year award for the division, but I thought that the Pogon manager would have that honour having won the FA Cup and promotion. There were no surprises that Marcin Folc was voted by the Radomsko fans as their Player of the Year, and the young striker was also voted as the Second Division Player of the Year – no surprise given that he scored 30 league goals.

Despite all of the jubilation surrounding the club, I was never really satisfied with our form, and we know that we have to perform next season just to stay up. That’s going to mean a few new faces, although they will have to be free transfers as we have very little money available to spend.

Preseason 2004

Without much money to spend, I’ve only managed to bring in a few faces on free transfers, and most are experienced enough to see us through our first season back in the top-flight. Ilian Kiryakov, 33, is an experienced Bulgarian international defender, and he joins as a player-coach from Chumerna. Waldemar Zelasko is an experienced midfielder who joins from Potkowice, and Przemyslaw Pluta, who plays on either flank, joins from Odra Wodzislaw. By far the biggest signing is that of 36-year-old centre back Frank Lebouef, who leaves the riches of Al Sadd in Qatar to join our legion. The other two players are youngsters with a lot of talent; - Omar Daley, a Jamaican winger, comes in from Portmore United, and Ghanaian international striker Baffour Gyan joins from Slovan Liberec. There was one retirement with Artur Lamch calling it a day, and I’ve also allowed Rafal Dopierala to join Belchatow on loan for the first three months of the season.

We played a number of pre-season friendlies, starting with a home tie against Slovak side Zilina. Kowalczyk and Folc put us 2-0 up after 23 minutes, but the Slovakians hit back with two quick goals, and the game ended 2-2.
Folc gave us an early lead on our travels to Swit Lukullus, and Gyan added a second midway through the second half. The home side pulled a goal back late on, but we held on to win.
Next up was a trip to Slask, and two first half strikes from Folc were enough to give us a 2-0 win.
Our only loss of the preseason was at GKS Katowice. Tomasiak grabbed our consolation as we lost 3-1.
The last away game was at Hetman, and after struggling early on, goals from Folc and Sebastian Pluta in the last 25 minutes gave us a comfortable 2-0 win.
Two quick-fire goals from Folc and Tomasiak gave us a 2-0 lead early on at home to Polonia, and although they pulled a goal back, a Wicher penalty two minutes from time gave us a 3-1 win.
The last game of the preseason was against Czech side Sigma Olomouc, and although we fell 2-0 down early on, goals from Folc and Gyan rescued a 2-2 draw for us.

We’ve had a good preseason workout, and the squad look like they’ll settle in nicely to the top division. Still, with odds of 100-1 to win the league, we know that it’s not going to be easy.

August 2004

The season began with an FA Cup tie away at GKS Katowice where we had lost during preseason. And after a promising start we found ourselves behind to a quick break on 11 minutes, and Fanfara scored for the home side. Folc had to come off late in the first half, and just four minutes into the second half his replacement, Kowalczyk, equalised. That spurred us on, and sixteen minutes from time Kowalczyk put us ahead. Kowalczyk wrapped up his hatrick and our passage into the third round five minutes from time as we won 3-1.

The Third Round gave us another away trip – this time to Ruch Chorzow. After a very quiet first half hour we fell behind to a Srutwa strike, and five minutes before the break Szynsrowski doubled the lead with a free kick. Gancarczyk made it 3-0 immediately after the restart, and although Gyan pulled a goal back six minutes later, we were out of the competition.

Prior to the first league game of the season I allowed young striker Przemyslaw Wegier to join Piast on loan for three months. The first team action will do him good. The game at Groclin went badly. Mila put the home side ahead with a free kick on 12, and around the half hour both Niedzielan and Lorens added further goals. Rasiak added a fourth early in the second half, and although Folc got one back ten minutes from time, it was nothing more than a consolation.

Andrzej Dzuiba was allowed to join Rafal Doperiala at Belchatow, joining the second division side on loan for the next three months. Our first home game of the season was against Gornik Zabrze, and after 11 minutes Sebastian Pluta had us ahead. But the visitors hit back and Sladojevic equalised fourteen minutes later. It was a tight match after that, but midway through the second half Sebastian Pluta doubled his tally for the game to restore our lead. Seven minutes from time Gyan added a third, and in the last two minutes Gyan and Folc added further goals as we completed a 5-1 rout.

There was yet another loan move out of the club as young striker Cezary Stefanczyk dropped down a division to join Siarka for the next three months. The game at Polkowice was tight, although our confidence saw us doing most of the attacking. Quite how we failed to score in the first half I don’t know, but we kept plugging away and on 63 Folc had us ahead. Four minutes later though poor defending allowed Gorzad in to equalise, and nine minutes from time Piegzik struck to condemn us to an undeserved defeat.

Things didn’t look too good after the result at Ruch Chorzow and Groclin, but we’ve played really well in the last two games. Our attacking style paid off against Gornik Zabrze, but we still have to improve at the back. Frank Lebouef should be back from injury early next month, and I’m hoping that the Frenchman can help sort out our defence.

The first game of the month was a home tie with high-flying Wisla Plock. We were doing well at keeping them at arm’s length, and twelve minutes into the second half Gyan struck to give us the lead. But just five minutes later Pachelski equalised, and ten minutes from time Gevorgyan scored to give the visitors a 2-1 win.

The trip to Widzew started well as Omar Daley scored his first goal for the club after just 8 minutes. Six minutes later Widzew were level thanks to a BrasÃ*lia strike, only for Folc to restore our lead three minutes later. Folc made it 3-1 ten minutes before the break, and that’s how it finished.

The last game of the month was a disappointing home tie with Leczna. We failed to compete at all, and goals in either half from Czereszewski and Klosinksi saw us go down 2-0.

We began the month with a trip to Legia, and after nine minutes fell behind to a Tyczkowski strike. But just two minutes later Folc equalised and Sebastian Pluta put us ahead five minutes later. We managed to hold Legia at arm’s length for a while after this, and just before the hour Gyan extended our lead. There were nervous moments on 67 when Saganowski made it 3-2, but within four minutes Gyan restored our two-goal advantage. And six minutes from time Gyan completed his hatrick, and we had an excellent 5-2 win.

The trip to Wisla started well, as Gyan put us ahead after 20 minutes, and added a second on the half hour. And when Kowalczyk made it 3-0 early in the second half, things were looking rosy. Five minutes later though Szymkowiak pulled a goal back for the Krakow side, and when Pawel Brozek made it 3-2 on 71, there was to be a very nervy last twenty minutes. We had our chances to extend our lead, but we couldn’t quite do it, and as the game entered injury time Przemyslaw Pluta scored an unfortunate own goal. And it was to get worse as Uche won the game for the home side in the last minute of injury time.

Odra Wodzislaw came to town next, and after dominating the first half, finally took the lead just before the break when Sebastian Pluta fired in a free kick. We could, and should, have extended our lead, and failing to do so was to cost us as Radzewicz rescued a point for the visitors five minutes from time.

High-flying Lech took the lead through a Gajtkowski strike after just 16 minutes, but three minutes later Jozwiak levelled things up with his first goal of the season. And eight minutes before the break Folc fired in a free kick to send us into half time ahead. Midway through the second half Lech found an equaliser through Gajtkowski, and we were to be heartbroken again when Gajtkowski stole in to win the game in the very last minute.

Champions-elect Amica visited us in the final game of the month, and after holding out for half an hour on a snow-covered pitch, found ourselves behind to a Kryszalowicz strike. We never really looked like getting back into the match, and we weren’t helped when Frank Lebouef was sent off ten minutes into the second half for a professional foul. Ten minutes later Kryszalowicz doubled the lead for Amica, and he then scored two quick-fire goals to leave us reeling. And the rout was completed when Krol scored from a free kick two minutes from time.

A game lasts for 90 minutes and injury time. It seems that some of the team have forgotten that, as goals in the final five minutes of games this month has cost us six points, and we need every point that is going at the moment.
