Squad

Lukáš Hruška 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 Pribram this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

České Budějovice take the points off Pribram

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Jesse De Boeck 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

Jesse De Boeck 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.

Squad

14 new faces, and Pribram are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Interim Coach left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Luke Matykiewicz's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Squad

Michal Coufal: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Pribram will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Christ Evo Ememe

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Pribram

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pribram is running low.

Squad

A falling-out at Pribram

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

Boardroom

$425.1K from the owner keeps Pribram afloat

The gap in the accounts was filled from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be grateful and to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings arrive together.

Match

Pribram get the job done against Zlin

A 1‑0 win over Zlin, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The dugout

No hiding place for Miroslav Vaněček

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

Boardroom

Wages swallow 104% of the Pribram income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market

Pribram and Cameron Humphreys are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Vincentas Pupsys is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Vincentas Pupsys has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Market

8 months and counting on Uroš Likar

Still no offer on the table, and Uroš Likar’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Miroslav Vaněček

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

Match

Pribram are in real trouble now

Position 15, 18 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Adam Darida puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Pribram, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words exchanged at Pribram

João Machado and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Adam Soucek

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

Squad

Words at Pribram training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukáš Hruška 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.

Transfer targets

Pribram try to borrow Daniel Osman

Pardubice have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Pribram ask about Daniel Brabec

A loan enquiry to Sigma Olomouc: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Daniel Schick 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.
