Orebro season review 2009

2009 was a solid showing from Orebro. The club were playing well and getting very good results in difficult places while also keeping pace with the chasing pack for the Europa League places.
In the first half of the season the team started well and having lost Emra Tahirovic in the summer they continued their good form until the end of the season when they lost out of a Europa League place.
2009 saw Kim Olsen finish as top scorer for the club with 11 goals in a good campaign for the big Dane. Olsen was also joined in the charts by Finnish international Roni Porokara who himself got 8 goals while cpatain Fredrik Nordback got an impressive 5 goals over the course of 2009.
The club also bought in players over the winter notebly Alejandro Bedoya. The American took no-time into settling into his new surroundings of the Swedish top flight and got two goals both against BK Hacken.
Adriano Munoz also arrived at the club from Tromso in the summer and played a good role in the 2nd half of the season. Coach Sixten Bostrom knows a bargain when he sees one and who knows what star will be coming from Finland this winter.

A 6th place finish is an improvement from 2008 which is positive news and the club could go one better in 2010 and grab a Europa League place.
