Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Andreas Gülstorff

14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Egersund lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout

Isak Jönsson keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Egersund may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Sander Lønning

There were 6 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Egersund

Vetle Auklend 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

Joachim Soltvedt ran the middle of the pitch — 6.87

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 15 combined actions and a mark of 6.87, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Egersund

3 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Egersund

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Daniel Job

“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.

Market

Bjorn Odegaard steps up from the Egersund academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bjorn Odegaard 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.

In brief
