Evangelos Patoulidis hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sandefjord can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Sandefjord
Evangelos Patoulidis 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.

Jakob Dunsby runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Jonas Svensson steps up from the Sandefjord academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jonas Svensson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Sandefjord promote Thomas Pedersen from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Thomas Pedersen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Birger Riise left the room before anybody could ask which.
In brief
- The dugout Sandefjord pick somebody else ahead of Mathias Rosenørn
- The dugout Håkon Krogelien gets it from the manager
- The dugout No place in the plan for Nikolaj Möller
