The Esbjerg Courier
Match19 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Esbjerg's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Esbjerg has to find a result from somewhere.

A falling-out at Esbjerg
Bartosz Slisz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match19 Sep 2026
A bad afternoon for Esbjerg against Aalborg
1‑3 to Aalborg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

A row about effort at Esbjerg
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sander Eng Strand was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Anton Skipper 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.

Robert Lindstrom answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Noah Strandby turns it into his own net
Nobody's fault and entirely his: a goal that goes into the book with his name against it and nothing about it intended. Esbjerg deserved better, and so did he.

James Ampofo finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Esbjerg have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Geraldo Bajrami is a square peg at Esbjerg
The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
