Match

No end in sight to Orebro's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Orebro has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Antonio Yakoub in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Orebro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Manasse Kusu 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.

Player ratings

Antonio Yakoub runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Samuel Wikman dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad

John Krafth stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” John Krafth and Orebro agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

The cup run ends for Orebro

2‑4 against IFK Goteborg, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings

A debut John Krafth will not forget — 7.63

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.63 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Match

4 matches without a win for Orebro

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Orebro are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Orebro

Antonio Yakoub 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

Hasan Dana among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Hasan Dana on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Orebro and IFK Goteborg.

Match

Orebro come up short against Hammarby

Hammarby left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

Orebro agree a free transfer for Carlos Jacinto

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad

No hiding place for Max Watson

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

Squad

Manasse Kusu asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
