February 12th 2023 Early pre-season has been successful overall, without any major injuries picked up, and our main set of players maintaining fitness. Next up, we'll be taking part in the Svenska Cupen pre-season tournament - a competition between professional Swedish teams.

February 13th 2023 Svenska Cupen Group Stages A fantastic comeback win, with Niklas Söderberg impressing (1 goal and 1 assist). Great fortitude from the boys to come back from a 1-0 deficit, courtesy of a dodgy penalty decision.

February 19th 2023 Svenska Cupen Group Stages A tough one to take - as we defended well throughout - but the quality of our opposition really did show. A 2-0 defeat isn't the end of the world, and we still stand a chance of qualifying should we beat Kalmar next week.

February 26th 2023 Svenska Cupen Group Stages Wow! This was a masterclass in pressing and clinical finishing. Kalmar were nowhere near their best, and the speed of our attackers running in behind was too much for them to handle. Massively encouraging performance.

March 26th 2023 Superatten Match Day 1 A high-intensity showdown to start the season, we certainly weren't at our best, but a wonderful strike from Adam Bergmark Widberg was enough to secure the points. With some nice combinations at times, there are already positive signs.

April 2nd 2023 Superatten Match Day 2 A routine victory that was made easier due to an early red card. We've seen plenty of glimpses of what the team are capable of here - especially in the final-third. Chances were at a premium and we could have easily scored more.

With the transfer window slamming shut, we've made a couple of moves in the free agent market to fill some gaps - with our first acquisition being versatile youngster Arash Motaraghebjafarpour - a well-rounded technician who made 25 Superettan appearances last season.

Also arriving on a free transfer is veteran midfield playmaker Andreas Blomqvist. Once touted as a wonderkid and featuring for the Sweden national team, the Allsvenskan regular is injury-prone, but we're taking a risk that hopefully pays off.

Our final free transfer arrival is Kevin Rodeblad Lowe, a decent left-footed central defender who can also fill in as a left back or defensive midfielder. As is the case with our previous two signing, Lowe has been offered an 8 month contract.

April 9th 2023 Superatten Match Day 3 In terms of 3-0 victories, we won't see many that are luckier than this. A Kusu stunner broke the deadlock, but our opponents were very-much on top. Westermark finished the job from the bench, but we must improve.

April 16th 2023 Superatten Match Day 4 A change to a 4-3-3 formation and our first dropped points of the season. We struggled to create chances, but managed to hand a couple of new signings their debuts.

April 23rd 2023 Superatten Match Day 5 Our unbeaten run continues, and yet another clean sheet. We'll need to work on other approaches for these away games, as that's a potential 4 points dropped in our last couple of encounters away from home.

Another clean sheet, but little creativity overall. A first goal for Hedlund (scored from a corner routine), and ultimately a welcome win against a strong team. We return to the top of the league.
