Is there actually any club in the league left without any issues? 
Schwerin has injury issues, Dresden has injury and rain issues, Potsdam has tax issues, Suhl has fan issues, Wiesbaden has money issues, Vilsbiburg kinda has injury issues, Münster has player departure issues.
Looks like only Stuttgart and Aachen (who used to have result issues for parts of the season) are "healthy" 
I checked it. From January 30/31 to March 3 we get the Stuttgart-Potsdam game 5 times.
2 times in the Champions League
1 time in the Bundesliga
1 time in the intermediate round
1 time in the cup final
Stuttgart's scheduled to play CL against Potsdam on Thursday Feb 1st, the Bundesliga match in Stuttgart will follow on Feb 3rd and the CL game in Potsdam on Feb 7th. Feels like a playoff series. Let's hope the games will actually take place...

Thursday has now definitely been chosen so that Potsdam can stay in Stuttgart until Saturday
So Lemmens is basically the only one from "starting 7" that is currently playing, right? I saw Hester in the line-up on IG but instead Famke Boonstra is playing. Did something happen in warm-up? Famke's getting a lot of attacking responsibility and struggling a bit, but good for her to get some experience and also few nice attacks 
Hester as libero sub 
1-1 in sets!
Waibl has a lot of tactical skills. That seems to be missing from Bitter, at least at the moment
Stuttgart will never be able to replace Rivers. At least not if the budget doesn't increase significantly at some point
Rivers once again wins it for Stuttgart. But Dresden did surprisingly well!

Maren Fromm has been eligible to play for BBSC Berlin since January 12th and made her debut in Berlin's today away game in the 2nd Bundesliga North against Scorpesee, which she narrowly won with her team in a tie-break.

And she won MVP right away

This was intention by Waibl, because this never before playing group was nothing Stuttgart could prepare for specially by video analysis. This surprise team could exploit this way winning the second set, also using a weak streak of Stuttgart in the closing phase than.
Iman Ndiaye could perhaps be on the verge of leaving Suhl again. Because she was not in the matchday squad yesterday and is said to have been in Paris with the aim of “preparing for next steps”.

That post of her agency doesn't necessarily mean she's leaving Suhl, but if she really does, why do people even sign contracts nowadays? 
I really don't like this development that both players and clubs cancel contracts that often throughout the season, I think it didn't occur this often in the past as in the last few years...

Maybe she didn't feel well in Thuringia as a black woman? Just guessing.
I posted this on the transfers topic. I could not be happier. 
Magdalena Gryka joins TSV Georgi Allianz in 3rd league 
It's a shame, for example right now she could have been useful for Dresden as 2nd setter as long as Straube is injured...
By the way, I find it quite unfortunate that Potsdam or Stuttgart are playing in Istanbul on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday before the cup final on Sunday March 3rd. The team that reaches the quarter-finals has no real chance to prepare for the cup final.
