Match

Koper up to position 1

44 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Koper say no — this time

The offer from NK Krka for Andraž Ruedl was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Leo Rimac attracts admirers

The name of Leo Rimac has come up in conversations Koper were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Lukas Lončar damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 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.

Match

Koper are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 26 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match

10 unbeaten for Koper

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Koper did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Abdoulaye Dabo 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 Koper this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Wages eat 106% of everything Koper earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

The month belongs to Brian Oddei

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Koper have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Squad

Miguel Núñez dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Brian Oddei

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Point won or two lost for Koper?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against NK Celje? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
