The terraces

The mood at Jihlava has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad

Sami Lahssaini damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A fracture rules Lucas Riisgaard out for 45 days

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

Squad

Tempers go at Jihlava

Tomáš Vajner 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.

Squad

Vaclav Cerny out for 29 days

The medical room confirms 29 days on the sidelines for Vaclav Cerny, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Jihlava buy the years ahead of Jose Santos

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Looking ahead

A test against the best for Jihlava

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Sparta Prague B.

Market

Matteo Voltolini brings the grey hairs Jihlava lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

The dugout

No hiding place for Filip Holes

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

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Jihlava board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sami Lahssaini

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

Squad

A fracture rules Lucas Riisgaard out for 73 days

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

Player ratings

A brace, and Sunusi Audu takes the afternoon — 8.10

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Sunusi Audu provided it, and the 8.10 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

The Ústí nad Labem deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Kouakou Adou reports back to Jihlava with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Boardroom

Jihlava to lose Frederik Simonsen for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Frederik Simonsen has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Tempers go at Jihlava

Tomáš Vajner 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

Jihlava get the job done against Táborsko

A 2‑1 win over Táborsko, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Jihlava lose Vaclav Cerny

57 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
