Football Season Guide

Ostersunds are very fortunate to still be an Allsvenskan team after off the field difficulties threatened to really curtail their top flight adventure. But they were allowed to take part again and Ian Burchnall's side will want to make the most of their fresh start. But very little can be expected from a side who stuttered very badly last season and would surely have gone down if the season had gone on for another month. They were completely rattled by off the field goings on and the football usually came secondary. Burchnall and the players deserve another chance with the football in focus. There's little in terms of new recruits, and it will be up to the Ostersunds players who experienced the incredible highs of the Graham Potter years to turn this club around. Otherwise this can turn into a tough slog for them, despite there being several teams Ostersunds should on paper finish in front of.
