7 new faces, and NK Domzale are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
Nobody at NK Domzale 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.

Words at NK Domzale training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matic Brekalo 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.
An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and NK Domzale have had the benefit of it.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at NK Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” NK Domzale have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
James Furlong 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.

Two goals and a mark of 8.43 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Jure Sesko 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.
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Zan Bijol. 2‑1 against NK Celje, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

ND Gorica will want this one forgotten quickly: 9‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. NK Domzale were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Zan Bijol provided it, and the 8.48 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
The offer from NK Krka for Timi Vipotnik was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 9 goals between NK Domzale and ND Gorica, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Miha Oblak 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.
