From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Gábor Tóth: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Karcag have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

5 matches without a win for Karcag

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Karcag are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Paul Owede Onowakpo wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Karcag can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Ilija Pantelin 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 Karcag this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Karcag

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Boardroom

Belts tighten at Karcag

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Squad

Words at Karcag training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Svetličić 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.

Transfer targets

Karcag rebuffed over Máté Ódor

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ujpest have kept their man, and Karcag go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings

Dávid Székely did the work nobody counts — 7.32

12 combined actions and 7.32. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

In brief
