Match

Jihlava run riot against Prostějov

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

David Látal scores twice — 8.35

Two goals and a mark of 8.35 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The dugout

Karel Rožánek says Jihlava went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Divine Teah beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Tempers go at Jihlava

David Látal 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 terraces

Jihlava supporters have found a favourite in Miroslav Křehlík

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Miroslav Křehlík 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Marvis Ogiomade

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

Player ratings

One of those days for Stanislav Olejník

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.01, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Martin Holes kept it short after the 3‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout

Dominik Farka: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Jihlava have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

The Jihlava board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Squad

David Látal 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 Jihlava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

David Látal runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Jihlava come up short against Slavia Kroměříž

Slavia Kroměříž left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

123% of the income goes out in wages at Jihlava

Every club in football 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 somebody has tried it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Matúš Lacko

“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.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Martin Holes left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

Pavel Soukup dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout

Matúš Lacko says Jihlava went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Alan Marinelli 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.

Squad

Home is on Hale Lombard's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Jihlava are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

David Látal 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 Jihlava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

The drought breaks for Jihlava

6 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Sparta Prague B were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad

A row about effort at Jihlava

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

Boardroom

Wages swallow 146% of the Jihlava 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 terraces

Jihlava supporters have found a favourite in David Látal

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. David Látal 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

Jihlava find a way past Sparta Prague B

Sparta Prague B made Jihlava work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
