Profit (so far) and unbeaten (so far) someone seems to be doing a good job for you.

Our new CEO and DOF are amazing. The future is looking bright for OHL.

 

With this squad a top-8 finish is the bare minimum in my opinion. I even believe we can fight for a spot in the top-6 and thus qualify for the Champions playoffs.

To elaborate on this, our new CEO and DOF worked together at Beerschot for the past two years. The latter, Gyorgy Csepregi, built a team at Beerschot in second division with pretty much no transfer budget that in two years time won the league. However, they both felt that the possibilities at their club were fairly limited. Our CEO, Van Den Steen, was confirmed somewhere in April of this year and after Csepregi left Beerschot a little while later, we all knew what was going to happen. 

 

Gyorgy is nothing short of a miracle man in my opinion, with a lot of (previously sorely missed) ambition for the club. There's a club interview today with him, little over 20 minutes long, where he clearly states that the aim is (at least) a top eight finish. Which, in my opinion, should have been the ambition for the past two years, with the means at our disposal. Also very happy with him saying that in two weeks, they already start preparing the shortlist for January and the next summer in case anyone leaves, and that they already are looking to make contact with at least two Belgian players who's contract will run out next summer. 

 

Genuinely excited for this season!

Stats wise it looks like Leuven definitely should’ve won that, wasting good chances?

Two individual error goals, and no efficiency on the other end. Missed one absolute sitter at 1-1. Not a good performance, but definitely better than the opponent. It's traditionally a difficult away game for us though, bone hard and old synthetic pitch which really doesn't suit our vertical play. That said, also a few key players completely absent today. Hopefully, we'll bounch back at home against Kortrijk this week, because the next five will be far more tricky: Gent away, Mechelen away, Antwerp home, Charleroi away an Club Brugge at home.
