Squad

Lukáš Šimko stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lukáš Šimko and MFK Skalica agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Martin Nagy 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

Richard Ludha 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 MFK Skalica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Damián Bariš 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 dugout

Philip Onyedika gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Philip Onyedika is on it.

Squad

A MFK Skalica teenager takes the young player award

Philip Onyedika is 20, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

The dugout

Abbati Abdullahi is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Looking ahead

Damián Bariš faces his old club

AS Trencin next, and one man in the MFK Skalica dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

Roman Potočný linked with a move away

The name of Roman Potočný keeps appearing in other people's back pages. MFK Skalica say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

MFK Skalica bow out of the cup

Slovan Bratislava go through and MFK Skalica go home, 0‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Slovan Bratislava leaves MFK Skalica explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Squad

A falling-out at MFK Skalica

Petr Pudhorocký and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Mattys Bertrand gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Mattys Bertrand has just signed for MFK Skalica, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

MFK Skalica see off DAC Dunajska Streda

Three points for MFK Skalica, 1‑0 the final word against DAC Dunajska Streda in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Petr Pudhorocký was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.16. 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

Lukáš Fabiš 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.

Looking ahead

Everything rides on Podbrezova

Both clubs in the mire, one fixture between them, and a ground that will be louder and more frightened than at any point in the season. MFK Skalica know what is at stake and so does everybody in the away end.

Boardroom

Nobody left the MFK Skalica 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.

In brief
