Market

The Spartak Trnava deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Lukas Hrosovsky reports back to FK Senica with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Market

FK Senica say no — this time

The offer from MSK Zilina for Robert Hubocan 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.

Squad

Peter Pekarik 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

Antonio González 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Patrik Bero at his very best

Marked 8.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at FK Senica.

Player ratings

The pass was always on for Milan Pekarik

Chances created: 12. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.

Match

Honours even between FK Senica and MFK Skalica

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Tempers go at FK Senica

Ivan Mak 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Lukas Hrosovsky

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Ivan Mak 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 FK Senica can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Spartak Trnava join the queue for Lukas Hrosovsky

Add another name to the list: Spartak Trnava have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Lukas Hrosovsky. The answer from FK Senica has not changed — yet.

Squad

Tempers go at FK Senica

Antonio González 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

Slovan Bratislava take the points off FK Senica

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Peter Pekarik 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

No hiding place for Peter Pekarik

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

Squad

When it matters, Peter Pekarik plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Player ratings

Norbert Hubocan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

The Milan Pekarik talk will not go away

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

Market

FK Senica say no — this time

The offer from Spartak Myjava for Tomas Hubocan 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.

Squad

Peter Pekarik stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Peter Pekarik and FK Senica agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Lukas Hrosovsky 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 FK Senica this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Milan Strelec 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.

Match

FK Senica see off DAC Dunajska Streda

Three points for FK Senica, 1‑0 the final word against DAC Dunajska Streda in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Milan Pekarik was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.13. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings

Norbert Hubocan runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Erik Benes ran the middle of the pitch — 6.82

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 9 combined actions and a mark of 6.82, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Juraj Lobotka

“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.
