The Erzurumspor Courier
Match26 Sep 2026
The wait goes on for Erzurumspor
6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A one-man rearguard from Matija Orbanić
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Words exchanged at Erzurumspor
Martín Rodríguez 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.

Erzurumspor count the cost of losing Burak Ozan
22 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Too much change too quickly at Erzurumspor
7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Half-satisfied: Erkan Yildirim on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Mert Önal 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.
Match26 Sep 2026
Point won or two lost for Erzurumspor?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Bodrum FK? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
Looking ahead28 Sep 2026
Fernando Andrade goes back to face Amedspor
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Fernando Andrade’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Erzurumspor needing him to play as if none of it matters.
In brief
- Player ratings Nothing got past Guram Giorbelidze
- The dugout Fernando Andrade does not fit this one
- The dugout Sefa Akgün asks for a word with the manager
