Örebro have been regular strugglers in the Allsvenskan for a few years. But since 20th July the side form central Sweden have stayed unbeaten. Having not lost since a 1-0 defeat away to Hammarby back in July, Sixten Boström's side have turned around a relegation dog-fight into a mid-table safety position in 6 games. What makes this run special is that Örebro have played teams in the top 4 and stayed unbeaten.
Örebro who just avoided relegation in 2007 are only 6 games away from completing a half-season unbeaten run. What Örebro have is hard-working players. Nordin Gerzic is a star player who gives 110% every game and with the pace of Eric Bassombeng and the goal poacher Kim Olsen is it any wonder Örebro are doing so well. The Behrn Arena has become a fortress for Örebro and if Örebro had done this all year we could be seeing a title challenge from the whites.
Walker out:
Örebro have been on the scene a good while and last winter the club announced that Irish manager Patrick Walker was leaving the club for a job in Norway. In came Sixten Boström and he was tasked of avoiding relegation in 2008. Örebro lost midfielder Kevin Walker to AIK leaving Robert Walker as the last of the trio to stay. Örebro came remain unbeaten and if they finish out the season unbeaten maybe 2009 will be a sucessful year.
