Squad20 Nov 2028

Tempers go at Polonia Warszawa

Bartosz Salamon 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.

A row about effort at Polonia Warszawa

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

Robert Frankowski out for 26 days

The medical room confirms 26 days on the sidelines for Robert Frankowski, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Wiktor Kowal

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

Nikodem Kołodziej gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Nikodem Kołodziej is on it.

Leszek Jaruzel asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

A one-man rearguard from Mateusz Kuchta

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match18 Oct 2028

Polonia Warszawa out of the cup

Cracovia ended it 0‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

A cup hiding at Cracovia leaves Polonia Warszawa explaining themselves

0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Market23 Oct 2028

Benedykt Piotrowski 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 The request is on a desk at Polonia Warszawa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Vintage James Igbekeme — 7.82

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.82, and nobody on the pitch better.

Robert Dadok in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Polonia Warszawa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match21 Oct 2028

James Igbekeme’s goal not enough for Polonia Warszawa

James Igbekeme scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Wisła Płock, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.
