After the recent series of defeats, there are no two opinions among the TuS Geretsried footballers about the most urgent needs.
"We have to get three points, we don't need to talk about that," emphasizes Daniel Dittmann ahead of the away game at SSV Eggenfelden (Saturday, 4 p.m.).
Geretsried - The how can be discussed, however, because the signs are not very promising.
If you study the current home and away tables of the Landesliga Südwest, you could come to the conclusion that the Geretsried delegation can save themselves the trip to Lower Bavaria.
In their four previous attempts on foreign pitches, the team around captain Sebastian Schrills suffered four defeats, conceding a total of 18 goals.
"Of course it's a complete catastrophe," the TuS trainer aptly describes the extremely poor rate.
On the other hand, today's hosts have a good home record with three wins from four games.
Only against Kirchheimer SC did the team of player-coach Tobias Huber concede a narrow 1:2 defeat.
With 15 goals conceded from the previous twelve games of the season, the game and sports club,
against which the TuS competes for the first time in its history, also the second best defensive in the league.
"They defend in a very disciplined manner, so a fortress awaits us.
It won't be easy to get through there," Dittmann speculates.
In addition, TuS has to have two regular players in Robin Renger and Mario Walker.
The young TuS coach has not yet revealed how he intends to fill their positions: “There are several options, I will only decide that on the day of the game.” Again, Sebastian Schrills, who has cured his Covid infection, and the Leonardo Lajqi was also recently absent due to illness.

Despite the recent defeats, Dittmann still sees his team on the right track.
“Of course the mood after the Landshut game wasn’t that great.
It took me a bit myself, I've never lost three games in a row," explains the 22-year-old.
In the final training session, however, he found his team “very well focused” again.
"They were extremely focused," said the coach.
"The development is right."
Even in the most recent 2:3 home defeat against leaders Landshut, he saw a playful development and took a lot of good knowledge with him - just no points.
This should be over now.
"There's a certain amount of pressure," Dittmann doesn't deny that the table situation is also starting to concern him.
"That's why we need a sense of achievement now to give us some breathing room."
TuS Geretsried: Untch, Voß - Kellner, Wiedenhofer, Kirschner, Buchmair, Pech, Schrills, Buchner, Fister, Ivkovic, Podunavac, Joh. Bahnmüller, T. Karpouzidis, Bauer, L. Lajqi.
