The dugout

Žan-Luk Leban says Trakai went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Žan-Luk Leban keeps Trakai 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.

Market

Edgaras Satkus hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Trakai can pretend not to have heard.

Match

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

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

Market

Edgaras Satkus has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Trakai they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

Donatas Slavickas beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Žan-Luk Leban 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.

Match

Zalgiris take the points off Trakai

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

Match

No time for Zalgiris to settle

The goal that put Zalgiris ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Trakai equalised, 3 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Market

Edgaras Satkus has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Trakai they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Edvinas Satkus 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

Trakai lose Zoran Babic

49 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

A falling-out at Trakai

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

The dugout

Edgaras Satkus knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Trakai, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Arvydas Klimavicius talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Trakai know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

32 days out for Aleksandar Stanisavljević after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Trakai will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Žan-Luk Leban 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.

Loan watch

Karolis Girdvainis wants to come home

“I did not go to Siauliai to sit and watch. I want to come back to Trakai and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.
