Like you must know by now, there has been some change this week.

Jukka Jalonen stepped down as our coach. He paid the price for our bad form we showed the last two months. I really think he did a good job here and every guy on this team should look at himself in the mirror. We let him down and he shouldn't take all the blame. The thing is in the competitive world of professional sport, winning is everything and when you don't, the coach is usually the first one to go. Now, we don't have any excuses and if we want to make the play-offs we better start playing better. We have five ISL League games left and we have to give it all. If we don't, it will be a long summer.
