Market

Petar Đoković 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 Javor-Matis can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A falling-out at Javor-Matis

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

Squad

Javor-Matis lose Ivan Mladenovic

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

Squad

Boubacari Doucouré 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

Abdullateef Ishola 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.

Match

Javor-Matis caught on 92 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then OFK Beograd scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Player ratings

Lazar Mićić beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Bayéré Junior Loué

7.57, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Javor-Matis had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Player ratings

An own goal to forget for Petar Đoković

The one goal a footballer does not get to celebrate and does not get to forget either. His name is in the wrong column and nothing about it was meant.

Squad

Nikola Vasiljević stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Transfer targets

Baylee Dipepa is a medical away from Javor-Matis

The deal with Southampton 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.

Transfer targets

Javor-Matis bid $250.0K for Stefan Ranđelović

The offer went to Radnik Surdulica this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Words exchanged at Javor-Matis

Eric Ocansey 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Javor-Matis

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dušan Pantelić was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Mihailo Todosijević

Javor-Matis asked and Mladost Lucani said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

A bad afternoon for Javor-Matis against Partizan

0‑2 to Partizan, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Orebro join the queue for Dimitrije Stevanović

Add another name to the list: Orebro have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Dimitrije Stevanović. The answer from Javor-Matis has not changed — yet.

Market

Predrag Vlahovic steps up from the Javor-Matis academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Predrag Vlahovic has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
