A knee injury of the worst kind for Stefan Nastasic
28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Voždovac lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match20 Dec 2031
Voždovac taken apart
0‑3 to Ušće, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Match22 Dec 2031
Nobody above Voždovac
First, on 45 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Milorad Kojić keeps Voždovac in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Words exchanged at Voždovac
Veljko Prodanić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
The dugout22 Dec 2031
The manager makes an example of Milorad Kojić
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Match20 Dec 2031
The run is over for Voždovac
5 matches without defeat, and then Ušće. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.
Squad22 Dec 2031
Voždovac count the cost of losing Predrag Jovanovic
24 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Loan watch22 Dec 2031
12 clean sheets on loan for Hassan Sani Mohamed
19 appearances at Mačva Šabac and the goals have stopped going in. Voždovac lent out a goalkeeper and are watching somebody else’s season get better every week.
In brief
- Boardroom Inquest at Voždovac
- The dugout Interim Coach answers for it
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Nikola Čolić
