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.

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.

Middelfart come up short against Hvidovre
Hvidovre left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
