The Stabaek Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

The terraces

The mood at Stabaek has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match

10 matches without a win for Stabaek

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Stabaek are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Julian Faye Lund keeps Stabaek in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Stabaek

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

William Wendt 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 Stabaek this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Stabaek come up short against Rosenborg

Rosenborg left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Oscar Solnørdal

“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.

Player ratings

One of those days for William Wendt

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.73, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Vegard Haaland out for 17 days

The medical room confirms 17 days on the sidelines for Vegard Haaland, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

In brief
