Match10 Apr 2027
The wait goes on for Orebro
15 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.

Ovie Ejeheri 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 Orebro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Malmo FF left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Ovie Ejeheri lets one through his hands
A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

16 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The manager makes an example of Dino Salihović
“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.

Orebro sink to position 14
10 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

46 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Orebro are in real trouble now
Position 14, 10 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Business is business: Lowe Astvald goes
Gefle paid $80.0K and Orebro took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

No end in sight to Orebro's wait for a win
13 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Orebro has to find a result from somewhere.

Ahmed Yasin has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Orebro they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

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

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Davi Santos and Orebro agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

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

Tempers go at Orebro
Ovie Ejeheri 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.
