The dugout

Martin Chrien frozen out at Podbrezova

This is not rotation. Martin Chrien has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Podbrezova is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Andriy Havrylenko 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Podbrezova

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

The dugout

Peter Kováčik has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Podbrezova 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

Martin Chrien knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Podbrezova, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Vincent Chyla is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Looking ahead

Shayon Harrison faces his old club

Tatran Prešov next, and one man in the Podbrezova dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

The Luka Silagadze question follows Podbrezova around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Luka Silagadze’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Country calls for Luka Silagadze

He goes off to be somebody else’s player for a fortnight. Podbrezova lose him for the window and would like him returned in the condition he left.

Market

Patrik Filippov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Podbrezova they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Antonio Prisco 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. Antonio Prisco has, at Podbrezova, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Podbrezova

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Andriy Havrylenko 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.

Squad

Ndubusi Moses Okeke 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 Podbrezova this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Peter Kováčik

A mark of 7.43, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad

Antonio Prisco signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Antonio Prisco commits to Podbrezova for another 3 years.

The dugout

Robert Lobotka on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Robert Lobotka after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout

Balša Mrvaljević 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.
