The Fredrikstad Sentinel
Squad28 Jun 2027
9 saves: Martin Børsheim was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Player ratings28 Jun 2027
Henrik Skogvold scores twice — 8.27
Two goals and a mark of 8.27 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
The dugout28 Jun 2027
Samuel Leach Holm frozen out at Fredrikstad
This is not rotation. Samuel Leach Holm has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Fredrikstad is pretending otherwise.

A falling-out at Fredrikstad
Rocco Robert Shein and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match26 Jun 2027
Whatever happens, Fredrikstad 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.

Words at Fredrikstad training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Johannes Hummelvoll-Nuñez 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.
The terraces28 Jun 2027
The crowd has taken to Henrik Skogvold
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match26 Jun 2027
Fredrikstad refuse to lose to Rosenborg
A point taken on 87 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.
The dugout28 Jun 2027
The manager makes an example of Fredrik Holmé
“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.
