Realistic but Optimitic: Hertha's Challenging Season Ahead

The Hertha UK team start the episode somewhat speechless at current form. We are not used to winning regularly, especially at the start of the season - with a perceived weakened squad. Anyway... where do we go from here?

It's a new season for Hertha BSC - but forgive us if we aren't overflowing with optimism. Lots of first team players have left, very few new players have signed. Yet off the pitch this outcome has paid the bills and the accountants look happier than they have been in a while. It looks like a season of stabilising and consolidation ahead. One where we finish mid table, nothing more, nothing less. But who knows...?

End of season wrap-up - a few weeks later than we imagined but a good look back at the last few weeks and the summer ahead.

February didn't go quite as well as planned... an impressive cup performance left us with a hangover in Hannover, that seemed to last a while but March has brought renewed optimism that we might just scrape third if results go our way... Keep believing Hertha fans...

The next few weeks will be season defining - big games against in form clubs at the top of table. And a cup game against top flight Freiburg. The Hertha UK crew chew over what the next few weeks hold.

We know it won't last forever but this hot streak of good results is daring us to dream. But this is Hertha... should we dare to dream, or just live in the moment? Anyway enjoy the discussion with a guest appearance from a new UK Hertha Fan Dan. Ha Ho He!

Here is a recording from the Dresden match. I've tried to capture the atmosphere and sounds as well as some interviews after the game. I hope you enjoy it - it might sound weird but I gave it a go! Mark

The boys try to get their heads around some deep theory - emphatic wins away, not a single goal scored at home. Why???
