Green Glade Hackers Head Coach 'Unlucky' Lysenko has today defended yet another poor showing from the Wood Elf team.
Despite heavy spending on new players, namely treeman 'The Outrageous' Girth, the Hackers still failed to secure a win against Orc team The World Eaters, who beat them 1-0.
'All I can ask is that the fans give it time,' he begged at the post-match press conference. 'As a team, the balance felt right. I can understand fans' frustration at the loss, but it was a narrow loss and the best we've played for a long while.'
He went on to blame this latest defeat on a lot of bad luck and one, he admits, poor coaching decision at the kick-off.
'We were too close when the Orcs received the ball, right from the get-go. They made a Quick Snap and were right on top of us, ready to pound, before we even knew what had (quite literally) hit us.'
Fans agree, especially after watching three Line-Elves get killed in the first moments of the match, two from the very first Blocks.
Coach Lysenko however praised Girth for his outstanding work on the scrimmage line, keeping many of the Orcs and indeed the team's Ogre bogged down for the majority of the first half.
As if to cement the Head Coach's unfortunate-yet-apt nickname, an equalizer and winning touchdown were snatched away by a poor attempt to catch the ball and an unlucky trip at the end of the first and second halves, respectively.
When asked if he still believed that the Green Glade Hackers could win the upcoming Bunker Bowl tournament, Coach Lysenko was adamant:
'No. But we won't come last either.'
