Romo man of the match I assume? 

yes Romo is a great goal keeper and was selected as man of the match, I can't see him being replaced any time soon. Iversen is a very good substitute if needed, great to have 2 quality keepers. Not very good for Iversen's development though if he does not play regularly. And you don't want to rotate goal keepers, unless you are forced to by injuries or a series of bad performances.

I remember Romo was a quality bargain keeper on FM in an older edition :D I could well see the loan for Iversen being ended prematurely if he doesn't get assured playing time before the winter transfer window closes. It would be a waste of time for Iversen, who could probably get game time at a similar level elsewhere. Either that or both clubs accept his role as strong backup for OHL this season and lose him in the summer. I doubt he will be good enough for Leicester anyway and it's not like there is an opportunity there for the foreseeable future. Harsh, but football is a cutthroat business at times.

The club rate him very highly, they wouldn't have given him one of the longest contracts we have ever given out otherwise (5 and a half year deal)

 

He is still only 23 which is very young in a goalies career, could have another 10-15 years left in him

 

If Romo continues to impress he will just get recalled in January and sent out elsewhere, there was a fair few clubs interested in him over the summer on loan so I doubt it would be hard to find him somewhere new to go on loan for the 2nd half of the season

..Beerschot will be a tough game, we seem to struggle against them and they have made a great start this season!!!

Anderlecht playing Antwerp and Cercle Brugge v Charleroi gives OHL a chance a to push for a top 3 position next round of games.

  Hard to believe the start we have had so far, total positivity all round and the players are flying.

Great keeper display as others have said!! Brilliant win.

Maybe asked before, but curious, why is sweet Caroline the goal music? 

Nobody knows. We should ask Neil Diamond.

 

I guess because it's catchy and cheerful and "oh oh oooh" easy to chant along. It's only since the last 9 years or so. Before that it was a sad techno tune. I once proposed to use "Who's the king" by Dog Eat Dog, but they didn't listen. Maybe now, with King Power, it could be reconsidered lol

Beats a generic techno tune I guess, just seemed random when I first heard it 😁 haha who the king would be hilarious, although it strikes me more as a WWE walkout track than a goal one 😁😁

Sweet Caroline goes around quite a bit longer then 9 years if I remember correctly 😉

 

Something else: I actually have a question for the Leicester fans. I always wondered how people in the UK rate the Belgian Pro League? What do you think of the strenght of our top teams?

The Red Devils will play their next three home games at the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven. Due to the curfew in Brussels, which starts at 10 pm, these parties cannot take place in the familiar King Baudouin Stadium.

 

Den Dreef has been receiving both the Promises and the Red Flames for many years. The OH Leuven stadium also meets UEFA standards for Red Devils matches. They play the friendly match against Switzerland on November 11.

The two games for the Nations League against England on November 15 and Denmark on November 18 also take place in the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium. The kick-off of these three matches at 8.45 pm, the public is not allowed. The Belgians are in the lead with 9 out of 12 in group 2 of the Nations League.

Peter Willems, CEO of OH Leuven, is of course very proud to receive the Red Devils in the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium."We will do everything we can to ensure that our national team can complete these important games in the best possible conditions."

Today 7th placed OH Leuven face 5th placed Beerschot, both sides are level on 18 points, with either side having the chance to move to the top of the table at least for a few hours with a win

 

Beerschot lost 3-2 to Royal Antwerp last weekend, after initially coming back to 2-2 after being 2-0 down, they conceded again 1 minute after they had scored their equalizer.

 

Leicester Loanees: Kamal Sowah starts, Daniel Iversen is on the bench, with Josh Eppiah not included in the match day squad

That's a shame, a fairly even game until their 3rd. I think Iversen might be back next week. 

Yeah not been much in it. Getting caught on the break now.
