Market31 Jan 2028

Zalli Abdullahi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Vojvodina can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Vojvodina

Đorđe Jovanović was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Đorđe Jovanović runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Dejan Zukić falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom31 Jan 2028

Vojvodina agree a free transfer for Stefan Despotovski

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad31 Jan 2028

Home is on Patrick's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Vojvodina are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Player ratings31 Jan 2028

Lucas Barros stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.44 on the card, and the Vojvodina support went home talking about one name.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

No place for Mihai Butean on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Vojvodina pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

The dugout31 Jan 2028

Milutin Vidosavljević gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market24 Jan 2028

Vojvodina turn down Crvena Zvezda for Armando Dobra

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Jan 2028

Patrick puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Vojvodina, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Đorđe Jovanović is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.30 with 17 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match22 Jan 2028

The run at home goes on for Vojvodina

11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Market24 Jan 2028

Dejan Matic has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Vojvodina they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at Vojvodina

Đorđe Jovanović and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings24 Jan 2028

Lazar Ranđelović runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Vojvodina

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Njegoš Petrović was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets24 Jan 2028

Vojvodina rebuffed over Uroš Lazić

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. OFK Beograd have kept their man, and Vojvodina go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Both of them Stefan Stanisavljević's — 8.85

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.85, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market22 Nov 2027

Dejan Matic has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Vojvodina they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Dejan Zukić

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad22 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Vojvodina

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Đorđe Crnomarković was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match20 Nov 2027

Vojvodina refuse to lose to Radnicki 1923

A point taken on 95 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Vojvodina count the cost of losing Dusan Ilic

35 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match20 Nov 2027

Stefan Stanisavljević rescues a point for Vojvodina

It needed Stefan Stanisavljević to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Radnicki 1923, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

No hiding place for Milutin Vidosavljević

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Milutin Vidosavljević, and the manager let it.
