Player ratings22 Feb 2027

Samuel Bossiwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 44. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Filip Lesniak damages knee ligaments — 52 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 52 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad22 Feb 2027

26 days out for Samuel Gyomber after a fracture

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

Squad22 Feb 2027

František Kóša is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.16 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Púchov know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad22 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Púchov

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

Boardroom22 Feb 2027

Wages swallow 107% of the Púchov income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Samuel Bednár

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

The dugout22 Feb 2027

Viktor Rusnak: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

Jozef Dolný does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Filip Lesniak

94 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Púchov lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Samuel Bednár keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Púchov may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Victor Udoh at Púchov

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Victor Udoh is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Samuel Bossiwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Púchov

Róbert Mazáň 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.

Match9 Jan 2027

Púchov come up short against Slávia TU Košice

Slávia TU Košice left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Tomáš Vantruba 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Kristo Hussar 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.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Viktor Rusnak answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad23 Nov 2026

Nicolas Martinek breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Samuel Bossiwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Púchov

Róbert Mazáň 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.

Filip Lesniak 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.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Oskar Jelínek

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

Match21 Nov 2026

Púchov refuse to lose to Pohronie

A point taken on 85 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.

Match21 Nov 2026

Púchov and Pohronie take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Viktor Rusnak on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Viktor Rusnak after the 2‑2 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

No place in the plan for Jozef Dolný

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Púchov

Róbert Mazáň 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.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

One of their own: František Kóša

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match26 Sep 2026

Púchov see off Stará Ľubovňa

Three points for Púchov, 1‑0 the final word against Stará Ľubovňa in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Púchov training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kristo Hussar 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 ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Victor Udoh

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

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Samuel Gladiš

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Victor Udoh has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Púchov will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Viktor Rusnak has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Viktor Rusnak on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Samuel Bednár

“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.
