Squad

Macky Bagnack 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 Primorje this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Mirko Mutavčić stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mirko Mutavčić and Primorje agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

A bad afternoon for Primorje against Olimpija Ljubljana

0‑2 to Olimpija Ljubljana, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Urban Trobec

“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

A row about effort at Primorje

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

Player ratings

Elian Demirović 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

Gregor Handanovic answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Urban Trobec left out for tactical reasons at Primorje

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout

Miha Dobnikar gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Miha Dobnikar is on it.

In brief

Squad

Patrik Mohorović stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match

The wait goes on for Primorje

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

Bravo take the points off Primorje

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Žan Bešir 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

Nobody could get near Sodiq Ismaila

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Primorje

Mark Gulič 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

Gregor Handanovic faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Gregor Handanovic after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Looking ahead

A test against the best for Primorje

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Aluminij.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Daniel Bameyi

“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.
