The dugout

Kristian Strømland Lien has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Djurgarden 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.

Market

The Jeppe Okkels question follows Djurgarden around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Jeppe Okkels’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Max Croon 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 Djurgarden, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

Whatever happens, Djurgarden do not lose

15 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.

The dugout

Mathias Rosenørn keeps the receipts

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

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 12 signed and 5 gone

That is the business done at Djurgarden until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Player ratings

Frank Junior Adjei was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 24. 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Mille Selander at Djurgarden

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mille Selander is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Djurgarden keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Djurgarden

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Match

The run at home goes on for Djurgarden

9 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Market

One of our own: John Granqvist joins the Djurgarden first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. John Granqvist is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
