MJÖRNBERG: 13-Game Streak & Lackluster Performance

When Tingsryd won a rather smooth history in Borås with 2-1, it meant the 13th straight victory and the team has slipped under the radar all the way to a position where series victory is not unreasonable. Impressive without impressing in its own way. But there are still patterns that must be broken if the season is to be long.

Tingsryd lined up its 13th straight victory, thereby making a big move in the table against tonight’s opponent Borås and has actually slipped under the radar so smoothly that it is not unreasonable to start talking about the possibility of series victory. It is a very strong result from the Småland team, who time and again find ways to victory in even matches.

But purely crass, it has rarely looked particularly convincing. It may sound paradoxical, but Tingsryd has sailed up as a clear top team in the southern league without being much to see at all. This means that there will be a lot to think about for us who are standing on the sidelines and trying to get a grip on the ex-Allsvenskans.

On paper, the signing of Tim Dachell be difficult to really understand. If you now think about trying to make a push and go far in a playoff, which should be the entire premise for recruiting at all, otherwise you can leave it at that. Why then bring in a technician who as recently as last year had to play division 2 and whose absolute biggest shortcomings are in his own zone? The position on the court where you have to be the most accurate in a playoff.

But after figuring it out for a while and witnessing the troll guy’s Tingsryd debut against Borås, maybe it’s not so stupid after all.
