Marked for Kevin Lovric

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

Kevin Lovric runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Luka Kolar stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Luka Kolar and NK Domzale agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Olimpija Ljubljana take the points off NK Domzale

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Luka Kolar gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Stojanovic 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at NK Domzale

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A one-man rearguard from José Luis Gamonal

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kevin Lovric

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Erik Cerin asks to leave NK Domzale

“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.

Market

NK Domzale get their man

The chase for Luka Kolar ended with $560.0K changing hands and NK Celje out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Match

Bojan Simunovic the difference as NK Domzale beat NK Krka

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Bojan Simunovic. 3‑2 against NK Krka, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

NK Domzale spend $560.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $560.0K for Luka Kolar, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

José Luis Gamonal 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

Oumare Tounkara 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Bojan Simunovic

Marked 8.12 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Bojan Simunovic scores twice — 8.72

Two goals and a mark of 8.72 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Andraz Brekalo 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 NK Domzale can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Kevin Lovric runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Koper take the points off NK Domzale

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for NK Domzale

4 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

No hiding place for Bojan Simunovic

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bojan Simunovic, and the manager let it.

Match

Bojan Simunovic answers Koper immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Bojan Simunovic had NK Domzale level again within 2 minutes, and Koper never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Luka Badžim 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

Kevin Stojanovic 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rok Kurtovic

Successful dribbles: 36. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Nikolai Merzlyakov 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.

Market

Eyes on Robert Lovric again

The phone has started ringing about Robert Lovric again, and this time the name on the line is CSKA 1948. NK Domzale are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

A bad afternoon for NK Domzale against NK Krsko

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

Squad

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Lovric 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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the NK Domzale dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Petar Skubic 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 NK Domzale, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Andraz Brekalo told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Andraz Brekalo has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at NK Domzale.

Squad

Kevin Vipotnik finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. NK Domzale have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
