2.Bundesliga review Eintracht Braunschweig’s unbeaten start to the season shows no sign of slowing down as they followed up an October of two wins & a draw with an early November victory over Sandhausen to pull 6 points clear at the top of 2.Bundesliga. Their closest challengers Kaiserslautern are the only other team to still hold an unbeaten record although they have drawn 50% of their games so far.

Regensburg, many feel that despite the poor run of form Corrochano, who has been temporarily replaced by Sporting Director Franz Gerber, wasn’t given enough time to mould the team as he only joined in the summer replacing Markus Weinzierl who left to join Bundesliga side Augsburg. Bochum are another side who have parted with their Coach, the axe fell on Andreas Bergmann’s head shortly after a 6-1 defeat in snow covered Aue in a basement battle. Since Hertha Berlin have put together a ten game Bergmann’s departure Bochum have won in unbeaten run but three draws in the last the DFB Pokal against Havelse & came back five League outings has given the Berlin from the dead to draw with Cottbus, maybe fans some cause for concern. Cottbus keep more encouraging times ahead for the the two in their viewfinder but a run of just Blues? one win their last five games has left them eight points behind the leaders. In St. Pauli are another side who have been at Boubacar Sanogo they have a top class the wrong end of the table & changed goalscorer, the man from the Ivory Coast Coach recently, this has certainly proved to already has eight League goals to his name. be the tonic that was required as under new FSV Frankfurt are keeping pace with the Coach Michael Frontzeck St Pauli are leading pack.

Dynamo Dresden are strongly as keeping Hertha Berlin at bay in the tipped to be the next team to change Coach Olympicstadion as they battled to a 0-0 with Ralf Loose being called to an draw last weekend. Aalen look to have got emergency meeting following a over the loss of Kevin Kampl to Red Bull disappointing 2-0 home reverse to rivals Salzburg, after an initial slump following his Union Berlin. Only a few days earlier departure they have picked up some useful Dresden had performed heroically to take points including wins over Koln & FSV Bundesliga side Hannover 96 to penalties Frankfurt & a point against high flying before finally losing. Cottbus with Martin Dausch particularly impressive. Koln fans have witnessed some great games in the past few weeks, following a Down at the foot of table Duisburg remain hugely disappointing start, until they were bottom but they picked up their first win of beaten at Aalen on Sunday they had the season against Cottbus & also beat climbed away from the foot of the table fellow strugglers Sandhausen as well as a thanks to a five game unbeaten run which draw against Hertha Berlin which means included a thrilling 3-3 draw with they haven’t become stranded at the Kaiserslautern & saw them come from 2-0 bottom & are very much within striking down at Jahn Regensburg with just three distance of a clutch of clubs above them.
