Market

Martin Hrosovsky 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 The request is on a desk at FK Senica, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Milan Pekarik says FK Senica 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

Words exchanged at FK Senica

Lukas Nemec and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at FK Senica

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vaclav Provod was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Slovan Bratislava take the points off FK Senica

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Lukas Nemec was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Karol Bero to a room that had heard them before.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Dominik Rusnak’s exile

9 goals in 15 games at Cibalia — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at FK Senica updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Karol Skriniar

“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

Tempers go at FK Senica

Lukas Nemec 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

Vaclav Provod 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

A bad afternoon for FK Senica against DAC Dunajska Streda

1‑2 to DAC Dunajska Streda, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Milan Pekarik for 18 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. FK Senica will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Dominik Rusnak

“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.

The dugout

Karol Bero answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Dominik Rusnak’s exile

8 goals in 12 games at Cibalia — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at FK Senica updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad

Vaclav Provod is off the mark for FK Senica

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

The dugout

Tom Lockyer left out for tactical reasons at FK Senica

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match

No end in sight to FK Senica's wait for a win

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

Match

FK Senica cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Vaclav Provod 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.

Market

Still no ink between FK Senica and Tom Lockyer

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at FK Senica, another week without a signature from Tom Lockyer.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Viktor Bero

A mark of 7.44, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

Karol Bero: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Player ratings

Lukas Nemec was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Robert Hamsik's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout

The form table has caught Milan Pekarik

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
