Match

No end in sight to Radnik Surdulica's wait for a win

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

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Stefan Bastaja

53 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Radnik Surdulica lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Tempers go at Radnik Surdulica

Vukašin Bogdanović 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.

Market

Hamidou Gaye is a Radnik Surdulica player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad

Martin Novaković 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.

Match

Radnik Surdulica come up short against Zeleznicar Pancevo

Zeleznicar Pancevo left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Igor Ivanović 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.

Loan watch

Paul Mendy wants to come home

“I did not go to Arsenal Tula to sit and watch. I want to come back to Radnik Surdulica and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 17 matches say the rest.

Market

Radnik Surdulica buy the years ahead of Peter Harris

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

In brief
