Two or more conceded in each of the last 5 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.
Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Words at Voždovac training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bohdan Redushko 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.
15 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Voždovac lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
5 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.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Voždovac this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
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.

Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. Voždovac will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.
Position 2, 27 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.
Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Voždovac are dealing with a man who wants a different country.
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Sinisa Vlahovic after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
The words a physio says slowly. 37 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.
Position 2, 27 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.81 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.
Aleksa Marković 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.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bohdan Redushko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
A point taken on 88 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.
Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
Gustavo 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.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nikola Matic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Filip Simic has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Sinisa Vlahovic after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
Gustavo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Bogdan Reichman was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.24. 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.

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. OFK Vršac had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Borac Čačak kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Voždovac will be asked about the last half hour all week.
At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.89 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.
Igor Petrović and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Voždovac people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Voždovac close the window on a squad of their own making
20 in and 22 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
$16.0K was the most the club would pay and OFK Beograd were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Bogdan Reichman commits to Voždovac for another 4 years.
