Nowhere to hide for Atvidaberg
2‑5 against Helsingborg, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Franco Bergés 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 The request is on a desk at Atvidaberg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Atvidaberg and Helsingborg in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

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 manager makes an example of Albin Bergström
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Joel Svanberg out for 54 days

A masterclass from Ludwig Guidetti
Marked 8.67 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
