The dugout

David Štětka: 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.” Jihlava have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Jan Haala puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Jihlava, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Michael Kühnel

Jihlava and Mlada Boleslav have settled on $120.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Match

No end in sight to Jihlava's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Jihlava has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

The step up is real for Filip Slavata

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Tempers go at Jihlava

Adrián Čermák 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.

Squad

A move Uri Lima would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Uri Lima is living that version at Jihlava, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Words at Jihlava training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matěj Polidar 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.

Transfer targets

Banik Ostrava tell Jihlava: David Látal 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Matyáš Šilhavý keeps Jihlava in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Jihlava out of the cup

Sparta Prague ended it 0‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

A day Antonín Růsek will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Sparta Prague leaves Jihlava explaining themselves

0-4, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Market

Jan Haala asks to leave Jihlava

“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

Too dear: Jihlava walk away from David Moses

$1.7M was the most the club would pay and Slavia Prague were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Jihlava

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad

Tempers go at Jihlava

Adrián Čermák 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.

Match

Jihlava see off Pribram

Three points for Jihlava, 3‑2 the final word against Pribram in a contest settled by the finer margins.
