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)

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)

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

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).
