The Solin Post
Match9 Jan 2027
Solin make home a hard place to visit
11 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.
Match9 Jan 2027
No end in sight to Solin's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Solin has to find a result from somewhere.
Boardroom11 Jan 2027
Roko Jurjević has agreed to leave Solin for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

A falling-out at Solin
Hrvoje Crnčec and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match9 Jan 2027
Whatever happens, Solin do not lose
6 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.
Transfer targets11 Jan 2027
Zbrojovka Brno tell Solin: Rigino Cicilia 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.
Player ratings11 Jan 2027
David Ereiz takes the honours
Marked 7.64 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Solin had the best player on the pitch.

Solin try to borrow Muhammed Usman
Kano Pillars have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
The dugout11 Jan 2027
Somebody else is better right now than Petar Šimunić
The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.
In brief
- Player ratings Mihael Rebernik runs at them all day
