MFK Zvolen are in real trouble now
Position 14, 13 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

David Smith: 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.” MFK Zvolen have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Words exchanged at MFK Zvolen
Damián Kotrba 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.

Christian Courtois 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.

Stará Ľubovňa made MFK Zvolen work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Boardroom21 Nov 2033
MFK Zvolen cannot sign anybody
The embargo bars a fee being paid for a player, whatever the manager thinks the squad needs. Every rumour printed about this club between now and its lifting is a rumour about a deal that cannot happen.

Michael Brázda beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 18. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Damián Kotrba takes the honours
Marked 7.68 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, MFK Zvolen had the best player on the pitch.
In brief
- The dugout A satisfied Interim Coach
- The dugout Somebody else is better right now than David Krejci
- Squad The first one for Damián Kotrba
