Adecco-update

And here it is once again, because apparently you want to know..



Start are back on top after a hard-fought 3-2 win away at NIL-Trysil, while Odd drop to second having been held to a draw by Notodden

Shock and confusion in Bryne, not only did they win a game but they absolutely thwacked Hødd 6-1. Hødd now look exceptionally doomed, especially with Kongsvinger recording their first win in ages. Powered by the famed "Tom Nordlie-effect" they overcame playoff-hopefuls Hønefoss with a 2-1 scoreline.

As per usual the Adeccoliga produced a couple of dull and uninteresting draws, with Haugesund and Sandefjord as well as Sandnes Ulf and Løv-Ham sharing points in 1-1 stalemates. 

Moss rather shockingly surrendered to Sarpsborg Sparta and lost 4-2 on home turf, and last but not least Sogndal produced another positive result, this time a 2-1 win against Alta


The table will tell you right now that the trio of Start, Odd and Sandefjord look nailed on for direct promotion, though Sogndal are not that far behind and are showing fine form. In the other end Hødd are doomed, while Kongsvinger have a lot of work to do if they are to climd their way to safety.

What's wrong with Start's Goodson? I see he will also miss the next game. Are they holding him out because a deal is in the works? They can't think they are that safe for promotion can they?

Nothing seriously wrong, word is he withdrew due to illness. Probably just had a cold or something, nothing to worry about. Odds are he'll be back tonight when they face Sandefjord..

Goodson's had a touch of the flu, with a bit of fever. He'll most likely miss tonights game against Sandefjord as well. Nothing to worry about. With Borgersen suspended due to yellow cards, Engedal will move to central defense alongside Mathisen and singing former teacher Kamark will get his second start of the season at right back.

There's nothing like having a resident Start-expert, cheers for the information. =)

Goodson has Mono and has gone home to the US to recover. He will be back in 2 weeks or so. Start should be okay for promotion with a 12 point lead over 4th place with 7 matches to play. Winning the Adecco is in doubt w/o Goodson. In the two matches he missed (win & loss) they have given up 4 goals after having a 7 game winning streak with him and multiple clean sheets.
