  • Latest Results:


    Semifinal: (3 wins)
    Resovia - JW 3-1 (25-16 22-25 25-20 25-21) MVP: Jochen Schoeps stats - 1-0 for Resovia


    Schoeps and Busdzek led Sovia to win. Penchev was weaker than in last games, but Lotman was good sub in last set :thumbup: pairof MBs Dryja-Nowakowski also did job pretty well, especially Dawid ^^ meanwhile in JW only Pajenk and Gierczyński played ok, Quesque was just a mess :sos: Łasko could've been better :whistle:


    5th-12th: (better in 2 games)
    Politechnika - Czarni 1-3 (17-25 25-19 23-25 33-35) MVP: Wojciech Zaliński stats
    Szalpuk with Mikołajczak did pretty well, but it wasn't enough - Oivanen and Żaliński did almost the same.


    Banimex - Transfer 1-3 (14-25 22-25 25-18 14-25) MVP: Jakub Jarosz stats
    Banimex lacked real leader - neither HGebda, nor Pawliński well effective. Waliński, Jarosz and Cupkovic did good job.

    Being a big fan, it is really great to see Jochen in such a great shape. Playing for a new contract obviously does him well. :D Are there any news on this?


    I only hope he survives this tough schedule well. Plusliga is really rushing through their program. it seem like yesterday the season started and now they are already in the middle of the semis.....

  • Skra are having a lot of problems in the libero position and lacking another efficient outside player. Marechal is too inconsistent. Hopefully they will find a way round this in Berlin. Really like the look of Lotos - haven't been able to watch many matches from this league, noone seems to know where we can watch matches, this question has been asked twice in the forum and not answered.....



    sidebar - Skra will have to play Resovia a lot - in the champions league and Polish league - this seems a bit unusual?

    Semifinal: (3 wins)


    Lotos - Skra 1-3 (18-25 25-16 26-28 22-25) MVP: Mariusz Wlazły stats (tie 1-1)


    Errors: Skra 25 - Lotos 39 :!: Wlazły contributed a lot for Skra, while Conte wasn't as efficient as sometimes... lack of OH2 next to Conte is a problem for Skra - Winiarski gives them a lot.


    About matches: some of them are broadcasted on either Polsat Sport or Polsat Sport Extra, then we have these matches online on livestreams. Replays are sometimes on tv, matches are also on Ipla, but I don't know if this service is available outside Poland :(


    One thing about Play-Offs. Resovia and JW agreed to play Semifinals later because of fact that Sovia is in F4 in Champions League. They have games at 17.03 and 20.03, but next games if necessary will be after F4 in CL (1.04 and 6.04)
    On the other hand Lotos and Anastasi don't want to postpone their games :whistle: it means that Skra will have much tighter schedule in next days... They had today, next will be on 18.03 and 21.03, last will be on 1.04 - last game if necessary.

    JW - Resovia 1-3 (34-32 18-25 16-25 22-25) MVP: Fabian Drzyzga stats (Resovia 0-2)
    Quesque and Łasko with low spiking % once again... on the other side only Panchev had below 40% as hitter :wavy:


    Places 5th-12th: (2 games)


    ZAKSA - Indykpol 3-0 (25-17 25-19 25-14) MVP: Łukasz Wiśniewski stats


    4 ZAKSA players with over 10 points ^^ in Indykpol only Cabral as OP did ok. Inykpol won first game 2-3 so ZAKSA goes further.
    So we'll have Cuprum-ZAKSA and Effector-Indykpol.


    Places 13th-14th:


    AZS - BBTS 1-3 (18-25 25-18 19-25 23-25) MVP: Bartłomiej Neroj stats


    Kapelus, Gonzalez and Ferens were enough because AZS missed 3rd key hitter.

  • Who cares that only Penchev had 40% in attack? He is the only one with 37% perfect reception and he killed Lokomotiv Novosibirsk in both matches :D

  • Today Result:


    Skra - Lotos 0-3 (21-25 21-25 19-25) MVP: Wojciech Grzyb stats (1-2 for Lotos)


    Lotos was just better today, especially in terms of spiking. IMHO both Conte and Wlazły disappointed today, while Lotos' wing-spikers shone brightly, while Grzyb had 3 aces ^^

  • Wow, what a hammering for Skra at their own place :white:


    I already noticed in Championsleague that they can act quite badly in block/defence. 66% in attack for Lotos (75% for Schwarz 8o ) is just too much. And if Wlazly/Conte don't have their best day, such a result can happen. Big pressure now on them......

  • Skra can't copy with stress and expectations. I worry about them and I really predicted it can happen. All people keep claiming final of CL will be Skra-Zenit, final of Polish league will be Skra-Resovia... Wlazły has flu and commentators said before match with Lotos he was all the time in toilet. :/ I'm afraid Skra will not be in the best shape to show it against Resovia that they are just much better team, that's the fact. I hope they will overcome barriers, anyway they are good at it, much worse situation than bad luck with t-shirt of Conte can't happen anymore and they won it. ;)

  • Sometimes I wonder why do I watch this all if every loser make me cry over its terrible fate :aww: I would give a medal to everyone if I could. Skra literally bled out. I seriously admire their fight to the very end of this match. On the other side this is another big match lost in a tie-break after a tough battle. Don't know what hurts more - to lose plainly in straight set or lose after 5-sets thriller being close to the success :S I would probably break in the closest McDonald, lock inside and eat ice-cream until it run out, then just die of sorrow. If I would be eg. such Marechal. Speaking of him, I don't know if I'm more pissed that he left Jastrzebie or more satisfied with his leaving, seeing him playing like this. Lately he's such a tough to watch, really, he's probably one of the reason why I became so aggressive and my laptop can approve :mad: Second who disappoints me is Tille, donnu, I like the guy, I really do, but this is probably the worst Skra's transfer after Vincic. I miss Zatorski, how weird is that? But, enough complaining, before I hear again that I'm such a "seeing-everything-in-dark-colors" :whistling: - congratulations for Lotos. Well done, guys! Hope no one will be talking they won 'cause Skra was weakened, they did play only on national playground not european and stuff... In fact, Anastasi did huge work with these guys, creating a team from a few great players :thumbup: Sounds familiar, huh? After all, he's brilliant in this element :) Thanks to our commentators I wasn't that sad in the end of the match. They always cheer me up with their ridiculous talking but this time... donnu, I think they maybe had their very own little Easter before the match, both won the tv for me! They were fooling around whole game, joking about eggs and stuff :D eg. after another successful action of Murphy Troy, they said sth like: "He's not Eddie Murphy. He's not kiddin' at all" :lol: Big up, gentlemen :thumbsup:
    Eh, what to say more? Winiar is soming back more and more, as guys said his "golden touch" is more and more present. Team with him on the board somehowe looks better, as if they were getting back their "spirit". He's the one whom I always wish well. But, you know, looking at the future, him and whole black and yellow crew will be facing my Jastrzebie. And this is a real drama for me.
    Not thinking about my personal drama, I think I switch cheer-for-Lotos-mode on :gone: I know. On the other side, there is Ignaczak. But, hell, why not. Why this time can't win a brand new team? That would be interesting. Something different. New wave. The beginning of... don't know. Something. Enough talking! :P

  • Hey, limonke, why not support Resovia for Niki Penchev :)

  • Ray, stop adding me more reasons, this is a torture, I'm mentally exhausted! First thing I hope that Niki will stay in Sovia.

  • Well so among the top4 teams in Plusliga only two starting outside hitters are Poles, Mika and that guy from JW who won't be in the NT anyways.
    This is not good.


    btw, super upset about Bee's recent games. :*(
