Match3 Jun 2030
Full time on the season at Siauliai
Position 6 on 14 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Miloš Zličić takes the match ball home
3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

A falling-out at Siauliai
Miloš Zličić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match1 Jun 2030
Trakai take the points off Siauliai
Beaten 3‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Match1 Jun 2030
Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Siauliai and Trakai in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Miloš Zličić was on a different afternoon to everybody else
9.37. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Words at Siauliai training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Davor Nedeljković 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.

Daniel Simon was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 17. 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.
The dugout3 Jun 2030
No hiding place for Abdullahi Shehu
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Abdullahi Shehu, and the manager let it.
In brief
- The dugout The view from the dugout
- Squad A place in the month's best eleven for Andreas Schmid
- The dugout Abdullahi Shehu gets picked when it counts
