Squad

11 saves: August Strömberg was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 11 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Words exchanged at Middelfart

Yusuf Faghir 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.

Match

Middelfart come up short against Hvidovre

Hvidovre left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Hakim Sulemana

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Omar Jarju

“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.

Squad

Nikolaj Juul-Sandberg falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

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 0‑2 Joachim Poulsen left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Jakob Damsgaard signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jakob Damsgaard commits to Middelfart for another 3 years.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Jerailly Wielzen's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market

Jonas Villemoes 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 The request is on a desk at Middelfart, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Middelfart rebuffed over Mansour Samb

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Middelfart

Omar Jarju 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.

Player ratings

Hakim Sulemana 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.

Market

Jakob Damsgaard steps up from the Middelfart academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jakob Damsgaard 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.

Market

Christian Maehle steps up from the Middelfart academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christian Maehle 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.

Squad

Words at Middelfart training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikolaj Juul-Sandberg 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.

Squad

Middelfart are still strangers to each other

12 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad

Omar Jarju is a square peg at Middelfart

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
