Market

Alexander Johansson 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 The request is on a desk at Helsingborg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

The wait goes on for Helsingborg

8 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.

Player ratings

A brace, and Rubén Funes takes the afternoon — 7.71

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Rubén Funes provided it, and the 7.71 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Max Svensson

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Rubén Funes among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Rubén Funes on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Helsingborg and Orebro.

Squad

Words at Helsingborg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jakob Voelkerling Persson 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Alexander Fesshaie

At 22 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Alexander Johansson

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

Player ratings

Alexander Fesshaie was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

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

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

Player ratings

Clancy Biten Valere pops up at the right end — 7.16

7.16, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

Jakob Voelkerling Persson 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

The manager makes an example of Max Svensson

“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

Too much change too quickly at Helsingborg

8 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.

Squad

Loret Sadiku 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.

Match

Clancy Biten Valere rescues a point for Helsingborg

It needed Clancy Biten Valere to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Halmstad, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

Luciano Servín joins Helsingborg to strengthen the squad

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Helsingborg have gone and got theirs early.

Player ratings

Alexander Johansson changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Helsingborg had a different afternoon.
