From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Alex Timossi Andersson asks to leave Brommapojkarna

“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.

Transfer targets

Daniel Strindholm due for a Brommapojkarna medical

Everything agreed with Varbergs BoIS, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market

Brommapojkarna sign Isak Solberg for $78.0K

The paperwork is done: Isak Solberg joins from IK Brage in a deal worth $78.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Transfer targets

Orebro tell Brommapojkarna: Marcus Pettersson is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Anders Hagelskjær 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.

Transfer targets

Brommapojkarna ask about Jostein Gundersen

A loan enquiry to Bodo/Glimt: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

David Gideon 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.

Market

Alex Timossi Andersson linked with a move away

The name of Alex Timossi Andersson keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Brommapojkarna say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

David Gideon has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Brommapojkarna will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Brommapojkarna

20 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Brommapojkarna against Mjällby

0‑1 to Mjällby, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Kaare Barslund 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

Words exchanged at Brommapojkarna

Elton Hedström 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Thomas Drage

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

The dugout

Alexander Olsen faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Alexander Olsen after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Emiliano Marcondes 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 Emiliano Marcondes is on it.

Player ratings

Adam Stroud was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. 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.

Market

The Mads Hansen question follows Brommapojkarna around

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

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Brommapojkarna

19 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.

Match

Brommapojkarna sink to position 16

14 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

The dugout

Damian Pokorski: 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.” Brommapojkarna have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

David Gideon gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. David Gideon has just signed for Brommapojkarna, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Emiliano Marcondes signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emiliano Marcondes and Brommapojkarna agree another 2 years.

Squad

Words at Brommapojkarna training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mads Hansen 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.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Rasmus Örqvist — 6.85

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 13 actions, 6.85, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings

Mads Hansen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

GAIS take the points off Brommapojkarna

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
