Marked for Jakub Holes

Squad

16 days out for Jakub Holes after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chrudim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Chrudim get their man

The chase for Jacques Fokam Sandeu ended with $170.0K changing hands and Dukla Prague out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

David Pavelka 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 Chrudim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ermin Mahmić 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jiří Kateřiňák

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

Match

Chrudim come up short against Pribram

Pribram left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match

After 5 games, Chrudim finally taste it again

The first defeat in 5 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Pribram; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Squad

Appearance number 200 for Patrik Brandner

200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Loan watch

12 goals on loan for Kryštof Judas

18 appearances at Trnje and the goals keep coming. Chrudim are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

A fracture rules Jakub Holes out for 23 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chrudim will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Chrudim cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Jacques Fokam Sandeu

Chrudim and Dukla Prague have settled on $170.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market

Marek Kejř 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 Chrudim can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Chrudim turn down CS Dinamo Bucharest for Michael Kühnel

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

A falling-out at Chrudim

David Pavelka and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Business is business: Adam Richter goes

Viktoria Žižkov paid $160.0K and Chrudim took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets

Chrudim rebuffed over Vojtěch Stránský

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Slovan Liberec have kept their man, and Chrudim go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Chrudim see off Jihlava

Three points for Chrudim, 1‑0 the final word against Jihlava in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

31 days out for Jakub Holes after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chrudim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Jan Lacko, 20, steals the show — 7.96

Marked 7.96 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Adam Richter 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 Chrudim can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Nobody wants to play Chrudim right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Jan Shejbal is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Chrudim will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Transfer targets

Dávid Krčík is a medical away from Chrudim

The deal with Viktoria Plzen is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Michael Kühnel is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Jan Stejskal 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 Chrudim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Klemen Mihelak

Chrudim asked and Slavia Prague said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
