Squad

Joseph Wilcock damages knee ligaments — 48 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 48 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Dominik Lisztes breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Viktor Dibusz yet — 7.90

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.90 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Daniel Lang: 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.” Haladas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Daniel Varga out for 54 days

The medical room confirms 54 days on the sidelines for Daniel Varga, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near David Varga

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Haladas run riot against Honved

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings

Both of them Viktor Dibusz's — 9.00

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.00, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Zoltan Bese keeps the receipts

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

Market

Joaquín Jorquera has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Haladas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Szabolcs Orban

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Janos Varga 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 Haladas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Joaquín Jorquera at his very best

Marked 8.89. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Haladas.

Squad

Words at Haladas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Szabolcs Orban 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

When it matters, Viktor Dibusz plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
