Other clubs HJK
This was easy piece as MIFK is practically unchanged. On and off-form Forsell leaving leaves a big hole, but he never got all of his talent on the pitch and he is replaced by more useful Petrovic.
One young gk left and got replaced by double his age gk coach. Tammilehto leaving is not really a big deal either as MIFK have a plenty of midfielders.
One of the longest serving managers has already gone, but perhaps it was about time. Good job by Pekka Lyyski and have a happy retirement!
The preseason has gone only so and so, but can not understand how and why one local sports media predicted them to go down? Somewhere mid-table is a much safer guess. MIFK have lost a lot of points due injuries to top scorers, now they can start with two good ones Orgill and Kangaskolkka.
Not a lot to be expected from the season opener away at HJK though... traditionally a tough fixture.
