Player ratings

Joel Mvuka runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Ware Peter Natana out for 88 days

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

Match

No end in sight to Mjondalen's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mjondalen has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Erling King keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Mjondalen may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Joel Mvuka 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 Mjondalen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Mjondalen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christos Gravius 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

A knee injury of the worst kind for Markus Ottesen

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

Boardroom

Interim Coach has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Mjondalen can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at Mjondalen

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Squad

A fracture rules Thomas Lien out for 19 days

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

Squad

Armand Wangen out for 40 days

The medical room confirms 40 days on the sidelines for Armand Wangen, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tempers go at Mjondalen

Joel Mvuka 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.

In brief

  • Boardroom $695.3K taken back off the Mjondalen table
  • Boardroom The Mjondalen production line keeps running

Match

Every point is an argument now for Mjondalen

Position 14 and 29 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad

A fracture rules Thomas Lien out for 33 days

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