Squad

Jan Vokřínek damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom

Pribram spell it out for Michal Krejci

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Michal Krejci has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Pribram

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Milan Piško signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Milan Piško and Pribram agree another 2 years.

Squad

Matej Malenšek 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 Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Eduard Sobol 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

Tempers go at Pribram

Eduard Sobol 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

Words at Pribram training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matej Malenšek 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Gerardo Martínez

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

Loan watch

Jakub Štěpánek has seen enough of Omonoia

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pribram, and 2 appearances in 25 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Pribram come up short against Viktoria Plzen

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

Player ratings

Sebastien Koffi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Mubarak Al-Buainain wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Pribram know it.

Player ratings

Pavel Vandas never got going

5.59 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Gerardo Martínez never got going

Jihlava expected to open talks for Pavel Vandas

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Pribram will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Pribram lose Jan Kareš

Pribram turn down Jihlava for Pavel Vandas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match

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

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

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.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Pribram

A 0‑5 beating by Slavia Prague was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Martin Melichar keeps Pribram in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Alexandr Sojka is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Pribram will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad

Adel Beggah says Pribram 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.

Squad

Matej Malenšek 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 Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alexandr Sojka

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Pribram dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Eduard Sobol

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Player ratings

The one thing Lukáš Němec could not do

Shots: 4, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Match

Pribram taken apart

2‑6 to Sparta Prague, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Eduard Sobol 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 Pribram, and it is not being withdrawn.

“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.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 8 of the 31 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Player ratings

Lukáš Němec, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.07

A mark of 8.07 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Pribram

Eduard Sobol 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

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Pribram and Sparta Prague in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Words at Pribram training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matej Malenšek 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

Alexandr Sojka sends Pribram past Bohemians 1905

It finished 2‑1, and it was Alexandr Sojka’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Pribram.

Match

No time for Bohemians 1905 to settle

The goal that put Bohemians 1905 ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Pribram equalised, 2 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Fabio Simões Ribeiro

“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.

Loan watch

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pribram, and 2 appearances in 17 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Sebastien Koffi has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Pribram 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.

Nobody could get near Sebastien Koffi

Player ratings

A brace, and Sebastien Koffi takes the afternoon — 8.82

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Sebastien Koffi provided it, and the 8.82 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match

The wait goes on for Pribram

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.

One of those days for Sebastien Koffi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Sebastien Koffi

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.

Patrik Švestka damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

Dominik Vott 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 Pribram, and it is not being withdrawn.

Eduard Sobol 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 Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alexandr Sojka’s goal not enough for Pribram

Alexandr Sojka scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Teplice, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Martin Melichar 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.

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Pribram and Bohemians 1905, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Chevaro Bosveld in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Player ratings

A first appearance Adrian Yanga-M'Boyo will want to forget — 4.87

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 4.87, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Pavel Vandas hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Pribram can pretend not to have heard.

The wait goes on for Pribram

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.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Pribram may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

Pribram cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Tempers go at Pribram

Jakub Řezníček 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

Martin Melichar 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

No hiding place for Emmanuel Antwi

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

Match

Pribram come up short against Banik Ostrava

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

Loan watch

Jan Kareš wants to come home

“I did not go to Zlin to sit and watch. I want to come back to Pribram and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Matej Malenšek

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

9 matches without a win for Pribram

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Pribram are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Jakub Řezníček 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 Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Pribram training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matej Malenšek 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

The goals have deserted Pribram

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Pribram can tell you which week it ends in.

Match

A bad afternoon for Pribram against Dukla Prague

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Tomáš Svoboda

“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.

Pribram keep their word to Vojtěch Hora

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Player ratings

An afternoon Emmanuel Antwi will want back

Marked 5.16. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Tomáš Svoboda 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 Pribram, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

Pribram draw a blank against Zlin

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Zlin defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Jablonec — 7.94

Pribram throw away a 2-goal lead

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Defo Conte at 21 — 8.12

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Defo Conte did not need any: 8.12, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Martin Melichar keeps Pribram in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Jakub Řezníček, 38, rolls back the years — 7.96

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.96 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

The crowd has taken to Defo Conte

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.
