From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

69 days out for David Synstelien after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Ranheim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Time is catching up with Gjermund Åsen

Everybody at Ranheim saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 36 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

Squad

Words at Ranheim training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gustav Mogensen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Ranheim count the cost of losing Lars Lien

27 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings

Andreas Fossli was the difference for Ranheim

Marked 7.59. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match

Ranheim share the spoils with Sogndal

A 1‑1 draw with Sogndal leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

No hiding place for Anton Klaster

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

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Erling Pedersen on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

Tage Haukeberg has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Ranheim 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.

In brief
