sorry about the lateness of this post but you have to remember that i used to work for the turkish daily news where we only reported on games the day after they occurred and therefore our readers wouldn't get their reports until two days after the match. in other words, this may be late but not it is still earlier than the tdn.
having said all that you'll all be pleased to know that genclerbirligi came away with a 3-0 away win to konyaspor on sunday. a fantastic result but according to hurriyet it was an absolutely hopeless display and gencler we were very very lucky.
the article reads as if our midfield was ripped apart with konyaspor launching "wave after wave" of attacks. the defence was crap too with the woodwork saving us on a few occassions.
"genclerbirligi must take a difficult lesson out of this," atilla turker wrote in hurriyet. "winning is not normally this cheap."
well, point taken i guess. good news on one front though was isaac promise was on target again with turker writing: "isaac created it himself, shot on his own, and was delighted with himself."
i'm delighted too and going by the last couple of matches it seems promise is finally learning how to play.
the other goals in the match came from an own goal by el saka and a penalty goal scored by ugur boral towards the end.
the win keeps genclerbirligi in sixth place, five points behind third-placed kayserispor (who won on the weekend) and one point behind both trabzon (who won) and besiktas (who lost).
