Joe Bell (Viking FK | Norway)

Bell full game in a 1-1 draw. D'Agostino with Viking's goal.

Aussies - Aggers a full game, and Yazbek off at 70 mins
Stensness continues his comeback with 20 mins off the bench.

Bell needs some Kiwi company. Ben Old?

Good to see Bell making a comeback. Gives you hope for guys like Singh. Just find a club where you click and it flows from there.

Another midweek Cup game for Viking. This time they travel to non league Torvastad.

They also had a 3-3 draw with Odd (8th) in the league. Viking 10th. Bell full game & another assist (Viking's 2nd goal). Aussies - Aggers & Yazbek started. Stensness off the pine.

Viking won 4-0

4-0 win to Viking FK. Unsure if Bell played.

Bell off at 78 mins (3-0).
Full game Stensness as he continues his injury comeback. Yazbek on at 68 mins (2-0). No Aggers

Has the story of the Viking goal keeper who made the goal smaller come up? Weird story, if true!

Viking (10th) host Tromso (16th/last)

Full game Bell in a 2-1 win. Late 95th min winner for Viking.

Stensness on at HT (0-0), and Yazbek got 71 mins (1-1). No Aggers

Another midweek Cup tie. Viking away at 2nd tier Levanger.

Someone in Norway likes Joe Bell.

Unfortuntely overnight Viking are knocked out of the Cup losing 4-2 at 2nd tier Levanager, in ET. Round of 16 tie. Was 2-2 end of NT.

Bell & Stensness 120 mins. Yazbek on at 54 mins (Viking down 2-1). No Aggers.
Bell the assist for Viking's 2nd goal.

Viking with 2 players sent off late on, at 110 & 120 mins. Already down 4-2 by then. Stensness the 2nd guy who got his marching orders (2nd yellow)

Viking (7th) travel Stromsgodset (6th).

Bell full game a in a 1-0 win.
Aussies - Yazbek off at HT (0-0) & D'Agostino on at 80 mins (1-0). No Stensness.

Viking (5th) host Lillestrom (14th)

https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2024/05/16/norway/eliteserien/viking-fotballklubb/lillestrom-sportsklubb/4286649/

Bad day at the office for Viking, as they get thumped 1-4 at home by Lillestrom.

Bell a full game, with Stensness getting his first start since his injury return, at CB. 
Stensness (88 mins) & both full backs were dragged off before the final whistle. 

Yazbek an unused sub, and Aggers on at HT, when Viking were already down 0-3.

Viking seem to like a good ANZAC ALM signing. Could be a good 1st European destination for someone like Ben Old. One summer league to another.

Viking (6th) travel to Sandefjord (14th)

https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2024/05/20/norway/eliteserien/sandefjord-fotball/viking-fotballklubb/4286655/

The ANZACs all start in a 3-0 win.

Full games Bell, Stensness and Aggers. Yazbek off at 56 mins

Bell an assist for the 3rd goal

Defence splitting pass for that assist.

Keeps up his excellent form to start the season - We've got the 2021 Joe Bell back in action!

With an xA/90 (expected assist per 90) value after 9 games sitting at 0.30/90 minutes is also excellent areas too. For reference a value of 0.20 is good, 0.30 is excellent, 0.40+ is pretty much top of the pops (all league relative of course).

Viking (5th) host HamKam (8th)

https://us.soccerway.com/matches/2024/05/26/norway/eliteserien/viking-fotballklubb/hamar-kamaratene-fotball/4286666/

3-0 win for Viking. Full game for Bell and got an assist too.

The goal itself a bit more impressive than Bell's assist. But he's having an impressive start to this Norwegian season. Viking up to 5th

Full game Stensness (at CB), and 73 mins Aggers. No Yazbek.

Yep, that looks like another Joe Bell assist - his fourth of the season (finish wasn’t bad either from Simen Kvia-Egeskog tbf)#FlyingKiwis pic.twitter.com/IRcs8ZaydO

Absolute bullet. I didn't think he was going to land that second flip.
