Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Guillaume Dequaire

34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zadar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Mamadou Camara breaks a bone — 44 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

A brace, and Daniel Kramaric takes the afternoon — 8.29

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Daniel Kramaric provided it, and the 8.29 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Luka Majer keeps Zadar in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Petar Petkovic

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

The Zadar board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Match

4 matches without a win for Zadar

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Zadar are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Zadar

Damir Erceg 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

No time for Lucko to settle

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

Squad

Tempers go at Zadar

Damir Erceg 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

Alvin Arrondel 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

Luka Majer signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luka Majer and Zadar agree another 3 years.

Squad

Milan Bogdan damages knee ligaments — 61 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 61 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Robert Colak, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 8.91

A mark of 8.91 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

At 18, Robert Colak is already the best thing here

An average of 7.01 in a first team he is several years too young for. Zadar have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad

Luka Majer says Zadar 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

Damir Erceg in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zadar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Whatever happens, Zadar do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match

No time for Sesvete to settle

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

Match

Honours even between Zadar and Sesvete

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Petar Petkovic

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
