Squad

Marius Ulla keeps Stabaek in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Sebastian Olderheim at 19 — 8.13

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Sebastian Olderheim did not need any: 8.13, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Andreas Hoven is on his way

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

Boardroom

Alagie Sanyang signs for Sarpsborg 08 while still at Stabaek

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Alagie Sanyang has agreed terms with Sarpsborg 08 for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Match

Stabaek see off Stromsgodset

Three points for Stabaek, 2‑1 the final word against Stromsgodset in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

One of their own: Gottfrid Rapp

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Ole Ajer kept it short after the 2‑1 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marcus Isane Kjos

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Sebastian Olderheim is the weekend's best young player

At 19 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Match

The small margins put Stabaek out

Out, 0‑2 to Molde, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Only the photograph left for Magnus Lankhof Dahlby

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Magnus Lankhof Dahlby will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Stabaek the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Stabaek turn down Adelaide United for Alagie Sanyang

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sebastian Olderheim

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Tomáš Nemčík

Stabaek asked and Rosenborg said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom

Andreas Hoven has agreed to leave Stabaek 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Stabaek against Viking

1‑3 to Viking, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Jacob Hanstad reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout

Ole Ajer faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Ole Ajer after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings

Gottfrid Rapp beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 42. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Stabaek make their move for Daniel Karlsbakk

$5.0M on the table at Sarpsborg 08. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Atli Þór Jónasson turns down Stabaek

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Vikingur keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Boardroom

Magnus Lankhof Dahlby signs for Sarpsborg 08 while still at Stabaek

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Magnus Lankhof Dahlby has agreed terms with Sarpsborg 08 for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Jacob Hanstad signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jacob Hanstad commits to Stabaek for another 4 years.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Oscar Buur

Stabaek asked and FC Copenhagen said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Late, late show earns Stabaek a point

Minute 96, against Haugesund, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Squad

Stabaek are still strangers to each other

14 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad

Tempers go at Stabaek

Bossman Debra 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.
