The dugout6 Dec 2027

Gustav Erik Stachowski keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Valerenga may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Ole Sæter 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 Valerenga this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Real improvement from Amir Jama at Valerenga

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Amir Jama is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Joe Bell 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.

Market6 Dec 2027

A season away well spent by David Edvardsson

29 games, 6 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at Valerenga now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Valerenga lose Patrick King

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

The dugout6 Dec 2027

Oscar Hedvall 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 Oscar Hedvall is on it.

Market6 Dec 2027

Valerenga put Sebastian Jarl up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Sebastian Jarl may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The dugout6 Dec 2027

Sebastian Jarl knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Valerenga, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match6 Nov 2027

Whatever happens, Valerenga do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Valerenga

Joe Bell 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.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Mohamed Ofkir is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.29 with 10 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

One of those days for Mohamed Ofkir

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Valerenga lose Patrick King

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

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

Ole Sæter beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Player of the month: Mohamed Ofkir

Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order Valerenga prefer.

Boardroom8 Nov 2027

Valerenga release $8.0M for the manager

The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

The dugout8 Nov 2027

Oscar Hedvall has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Valerenga will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
