Player ratings

Stefan Stojanović runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Stefan Tomović 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

A falling-out at Spartak Subotica

Ilija Babić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Paul Itim

“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.

Match

Spartak Subotica come up short against IMT

IMT left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Dejan Mitrovic answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Stefan Tomović has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Spartak Subotica will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Looking ahead

Milan Stamenković faces his old club

Radnik Surdulica next, and one man in the Spartak Subotica dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

The Lincoln story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Lincoln signs something — a contract at Spartak Subotica or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief
