From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Thomas Drage: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bodo/Glimt have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Lars Ranger is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bodo/Glimt is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Villads Nielsen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Villads Nielsen and Bodo/Glimt agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

The step up is real for Hindrin Chooly

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Market

Sondre Auklend is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Bodo/Glimt has been clear about where Sondre Auklend stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

A falling-out at Bodo/Glimt

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

Squad

Jakob Larsen 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.

The dugout

Sondre Brunstad Fet 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 Sondre Brunstad Fet is on it.

Market

The Fredrik Sjøvold question follows Bodo/Glimt around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Fredrik Sjøvold’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Håkon Evjen

23 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bodo/Glimt lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Fredrik Bjørkan asks to leave Bodo/Glimt

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

Whatever happens, Bodo/Glimt do not lose

12 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Fredrik Sjøvold 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 Bodo/Glimt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The step up is real for Ask Rodahl

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Market

Jostein Gundersen wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match

Bodo/Glimt are at home on the road

4 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Match

August Mikkelsen sends Bodo/Glimt past Sandefjord

It finished 1‑0, and it was August Mikkelsen’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bodo/Glimt.

Player ratings

August Mikkelsen was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.04. 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.
