Player ratings

David Jurčenko scores twice — 8.95

Two goals and a mark of 8.95 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

A falling-out at Chrudim

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

Squad

A row about effort at Chrudim

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fortune Bassey was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Chrudim rebuffed over Matěj Polidar

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Jablonec have kept their man, and Chrudim go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

David Jurčenko sends Chrudim past Jihlava

It finished 2‑1, and it was David Jurčenko’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Chrudim.

The terraces

Chrudim supporters have found a favourite in David Jurčenko

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. David Jurčenko has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Chrudim promote Antonin Soucek from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Antonin Soucek has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

The dugout

No hiding place for David Bauer

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

Squad

Nick Verschuren has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Chrudim know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market

Chrudim turn down Vlašim for David Jurčenko

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

Squad

A move Michal Řezáč would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Michal Řezáč is living that version at Chrudim, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

Serigne Fallou Mbacké Coly is a medical away from Chrudim

The deal with Dukla Prague is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Market

As if he never left: David Bauer returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. David Bauer is a Chrudim player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad

Tempers go at Chrudim

Jan Lacko 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.

Transfer targets

Chrudim rebuffed over Aleš Čermák

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bohemians 1905 have kept their man, and Chrudim go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

One of their own: David Jurčenko

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market

Chrudim promote Jan Schick from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jan Schick has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Chrudim promote Patrik Holes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrik Holes has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
