Postponed match, long time no see... This weekend we had serious weather issues which affected league matches:
Wisła - Warta had to be postponed and will probably be played at the beginning of March,
Widzew - Jagiellonia had to be moved by 30 minutes in order to prepare the pitch and the stands,
Raków - Piast was finished with some difficulties,
Górnik - Lechia had over 30 minutes interruption,
Zagłębie - Legia had to be moved by 10 minutes because of delay in Zabrze, but conditions were nice there.
The remaining matches were played relatively smoothly, although Radomiak had to do a lot of work in order to have their pitch more or less playable.
Top 3 now looks as I would like it. Raków didn't show anything special, Legia did their best in first 65 minutes again, then became nervous, and Lech were extremely inefficient. They hit the bar three times and had several misses, including these on open goal. Ishak scored two goals in two games vs Miedź, but he should have easily scored at least five or six. It could have all ended worse, but Henríquez was equally inefficient for Miedź.
Korona are alive at the bottom and you can't rule anyone out at the moment. Even Piast, who collected just one point from two matches, were much better vs Jagiellonia and fought hard vs Raków. Currently the team in the worst shape seems to be Jagiellonia, but things can change quickly. After a miserable loss vs Zagłębie, Śląsk had a hard time vs Pogoń, but still were able to win.
Next week will see an important match Zagłębie vs Piast (with Waldemar Fornalik, ex-Piast, now at Zagłębie, as the main hero, and of course the direct relegation battle) and two major disappointments so far against each other, Jagiellonia vs Pogoń.
with Miedź Legnica - Radomiak Radom at 18:00 CET and Stal Mielec - Lech Poznań at 20:30.
Fornalik's time in Gliwice came to an end, the team needed a new impulse, but I think that Piast will have a very tough time with avoiding relegation this year.
