Market

Igor Šemrinec 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 The request is on a desk at Pohronie, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Pohronie

Samuel Habodasz 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.

The dugout

Pohronie keep their word to Aleko Basiladze

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Loan watch

Mykhailo Khomych wants to come home

“I did not go to Považská Bystrica to sit and watch. I want to come back to Pohronie and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.

Market

Still no ink between Pohronie and Melvin Bijot

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Pohronie, another week without a signature from Melvin Bijot.

The dugout

Matúš Capko has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Pohronie will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Jakub Michlík asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

A season on the outside for Brandon Nativoha

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Pohronie has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Looking ahead

Home comforts ahead for Pohronie

Púchov, position 7, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

Match

Pohronie march on in the cup

DAC Dunajska Streda are out and Pohronie go through, 5‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

A brace, and Martin Rymarenko takes the afternoon — 9.89

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Martin Rymarenko provided it, and the 9.89 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Adrián Lutka scores twice — 9.40

Two goals and a mark of 9.40 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

Nobody above Pohronie

First, on 24 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Squad

Brandon Nativoha arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Brandon Nativoha has, at Pohronie, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Martin Rymarenko is carrying Pohronie

15 goals and a season average of 7.48. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Player ratings

Matúš Capko goes up and wins it — 7.30

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.30 for the rest of it.

Squad

A falling-out at Pohronie

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

Match

7 goals as Pohronie and DAC Dunajska Streda go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Pohronie and DAC Dunajska Streda, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Player ratings

Aleko Basiladze was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Martin Rymarenko

14 goals and a season average of 7.49 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Pohronie

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

A falling-out at Pohronie

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

The terraces

One of their own: Alin Lerint

He is 18 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.

Match

Pohronie find a way past Slávia TU Košice

Slávia TU Košice made Pohronie work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Martin Rymarenko at his very best

Marked 8.24. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Pohronie.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Ján Murgaš

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Pohronie told Ján Murgaš something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Loan watch

Mykhailo Khomych counts the days

“I watch every Pohronie game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Považská Bystrica runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

In brief

Squad

The knee: Richard Župa out for 24 days

24 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Pohronie lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

3 goals for Martin Rymarenko

The match ball belongs to Martin Rymarenko, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings

Martin Rymarenko was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.75. 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.

Transfer targets

AS Trencin tell Pohronie: Mikkel Boye is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Dan Ožvolda

“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.

Match

Pohronie rescue it on 98 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 98. Petržalka had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Match

Pohronie share the spoils with Petržalka

A 3‑3 draw with Petržalka leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Loan watch

Samuel Greško counts the days

“I watch every Pohronie game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Stará Ľubovňa runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

Denis Suslov on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Denis Suslov after the 3‑3 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

The knee: Richard Župa out for 39 days

39 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Pohronie lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings

Martin Rymarenko scores twice — 9.14

Two goals and a mark of 9.14 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Pohronie say no — this time

The offer from Inter Bratislava for Adrián Lutka was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Landing Sagna

Pohronie asked and Tatran Prešov said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Matúš Capko 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 Pohronie this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

Pohronie supporters have found a favourite in Jakub Michlík

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Jakub Michlík has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Martin Rymarenko the difference as Pohronie beat Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Martin Rymarenko. 2‑0 against Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ján Murgaš

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Pohronie

15 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief
