Player ratings

Sander Innvær, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.75

A mark of 8.75 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

No end in sight to Tromso's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Tromso has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Jesper Grundt runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Tromso

Jens Hjertø-Dahl 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.

Squad

Casper Øyvann 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Sander Innvær

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Viktor Ekblom was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.32. 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.

Squad

Words at Tromso training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jesper Grundt 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.

Match

Viktor Ekblom rescues a point for Tromso

It needed Viktor Ekblom to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against IK Start, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

Tromso say no — this time

The offer from FC Tokyo for Jens Hjertø-Dahl 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.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 23 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market

Julian Faye Lund arrives at Tromso in a $240.0K statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Tromso have paid $240.0K for Julian Faye Lund, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Squad

Daniel Braut signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Braut commits to Tromso for another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Tromso

Casper Øyvann 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Tromso against Valerenga

1‑2 to Valerenga, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Ruben Yttergård Jenssen 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.

Squad

Liridon Kalludra 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.

Market

Haugesund are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Tromso will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
