Squad

David Tkáč breaks a bone — 83 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 83 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Hilmir Rafn Mikaelsson asks to leave Sigma Olomouc

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

David Jablonský says Sigma Olomouc went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Jan Kliment, 33, rolls back the years — 8.70

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.70 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Tempers go at Sigma Olomouc

Fabijan Krivak 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.

Match

Jan Kliment the difference as Sigma Olomouc beat Jihlava

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jan Kliment. 2‑0 against Jihlava, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A row about effort at Sigma Olomouc

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

Player ratings

Václav Sejk was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.02. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Matěj Hadaš reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad

A fracture rules David Tkáč out for 90 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sigma Olomouc will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Václav Sejk 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 Sigma Olomouc can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

7 saves: Jan Koutný was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match

The drought breaks for Sigma Olomouc

7 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Banik Ostrava were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad

Fabijan Krivak in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sigma Olomouc this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Sigma Olomouc find a way past Banik Ostrava

Banik Ostrava made Sigma Olomouc work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Hilmir Rafn Mikaelsson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Words at Sigma Olomouc training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matěj Radosta is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Abubakar Ghali beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

98 days out for David Tkáč after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Sigma Olomouc will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

7 matches without a win for Sigma Olomouc

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Sigma Olomouc are no longer polite ones.

Match

7 matches without a goal for Sigma Olomouc

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 7 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sigma Olomouc

Jan Koutný 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.

Match

Sigma Olomouc come up short against Dukla Prague

Dukla Prague left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Marko Soldo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Lukas Darida left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market

Matúš Malý told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Matúš Malý has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Sigma Olomouc.

Squad

Stéphane Noumbissie 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.

Player ratings

Dominik Janošek runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules David Tkáč out for 107 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sigma Olomouc will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

David Jablonský asks to leave Sigma Olomouc

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

No end in sight to Sigma Olomouc's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sigma Olomouc has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Sigma Olomouc cannot find the net

6 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

A falling-out at Sigma Olomouc

Péter Baráth and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Adrian Malovec is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Words at Sigma Olomouc training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matěj Radosta is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Abdoulaye Sylla

7.24, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Sigma Olomouc had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
