The terraces

Anger at Tatran Prešov spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Market

Baník Lehota pod Vtáčnikom come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Tatran Prešov did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Tatran Prešov rebuffed over Jan Kadlec

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

Squad

Tempers go at Tatran Prešov

Martin Regáli was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Tatran Prešov training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrej Fábry 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.

Market

Albert Benes steps up from the Tatran Prešov academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Albert Benes 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

One of our own: Matej Lobotka joins the Tatran Prešov first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matej Lobotka is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Denis Strelec steps up from the Tatran Prešov academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Denis Strelec 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.

The dugout

Boris Krstić has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Tatran Prešov will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
