With international matches, Austrian Bundesliga, Cup and two UEFA Champions League ties – November 2023 was a month that pushed our boys to the absolute limit. Now it's your time to name our Player of the Month. Here are the four candidates:
Alexander Schlager
A string of stunning saves against Real Sociedad made Alex the Man of the Match as we took a big Champions League point. In the ADMIRAL Bundesliga, he pulled off a strong save to prevent us going two down against Hartberg. with a penalty save against Austria Vienna keeping us level - oh, and there was the penalty he saved in the UNIQA ÖFB Cup too – what else could he possibly have done?
Strahinja Pavlovic
With defensive injuries mounting Strahinja was an even more vital cog than usual in our defence, putting in strong performances week in, week out. Conceding just one goal in two Champions League clashes against the likes of Inter Milan and Real Sociedad speaks volumes!
Oscar Gloukh
The young Israeli continued to make his mark on the ADMIRAL Bundesliga with a great goal and an assist against Hartberg, while Oscor proved to be our creative spark in the UEFA Champions League too. It is just a joy to watch the 19-year-old play football!
Petar Ratkov
Our young summer signing from Serbia has bags of potential, but injury has stalled his progress this season. Petar finally got the chance again in November to show just what he is capable of - scoring a vital equaliser in our cup clash in Hartberg. The 20-year-old striker then equalised against the same side in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga as we went on to win 3-2. His first ever Champions League start against Real Sociedad was a logical reward.
