Squad

A fracture rules Sondre Rossbach out for 48 days

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

Boardroom

Tromso book their European place

Done, and with games to spare. Next season has floodlit nights against clubs from other countries in it, and the accounts have a line they did not have last year.

The dugout

Lars Olden Larsen says Tromso went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Sondre Rossbach

“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.

Squad

A falling-out at Tromso

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

The dugout

Mathias Tønnessen gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mathias Tønnessen is on it.

Market

The Vegard Erlien question follows Tromso around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Vegard Erlien’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

William Kaastrup knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and William Kaastrup trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Mads Mikkelsen: “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 Tromso will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Player ratings

Vegard Erlien was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

Daniel Braut, 21, steals the show — 7.92

Marked 7.92 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets

Tromso baulk at the price for Anders Hiim

Sarpsborg 08 wanted more than $1.1M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Higinio turns down Tromso

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Albacete keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

A falling-out at Tromso

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

Transfer targets

Tromso bid $190.0K for Gustav Valsvik

The offer went to Stromsgodset 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

Daniel Braut signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Braut commits to Tromso for another 5 years.

The terraces

Tromso supporters have found a favourite in Daniel Braut

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Daniel Braut has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Tromso find a way past Valerenga

Valerenga made Tromso work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
