Player ratings

Toni Kolega was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 37. 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

Tempers go at Sibenik

Domagoj Antolić 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Marko Mikulić

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Sibenik against Hrvatski Dragovoljac

0‑1 to Hrvatski Dragovoljac, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match

Sibenik at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 10, 4 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Damir Lovren to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Robert Simunovic signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Robert Simunovic and Sibenik agree another 3 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Sibenik

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Franko Knez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Looking ahead

Sibenik take on the side everybody is chasing

Rudes arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Squad

Evan Weir arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Evan Weir has, at Sibenik, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

Mateo Boric puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sibenik, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Sibenik

Domagoj Antolić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Sibenik end the wait against Segesta

It had gone 6 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Squad

Words at Sibenik training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Toni Kolega 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.

Market

One of our own: Robert Simunovic joins the Sibenik first team

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

Match

Sibenik get the job done against Segesta

A 1‑0 win over Segesta, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Roko Brajković

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Still no ink between Sibenik and Evan Weir

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Sibenik, another week without a signature from Evan Weir.

In brief

  • Player ratings Nobody on the pitch touched Toni Kolega
  • Squad 17 new faces, and Sibenik are still learning each other
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
