The Dobrudzha Courier
Squad12 Jan 2032
A knee injury of the worst kind for Viktor Krastev
15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Dobrudzha lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Mateusz Sławiński stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Match10 Jan 2032
9 unbeaten for Dobrudzha
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 9 matches without defeat is a foundation Dobrudzha did not have in the autumn.
Transfer targets12 Jan 2032
No thanks: Kaloyan Krastev rejects the move
Dobrudzha had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Pirin Blagoevgrad, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Door shut on Damyan Yordanov
Dobrudzha asked and Spartak 1918 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Match10 Jan 2032
The run is over for Dobrudzha
8 matches without defeat, and then Chernomorets Burgas. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Diogo Ressurreição 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.

Words exchanged at Dobrudzha
Angel Angelov 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.
The terraces12 Jan 2032
The crowd has taken to Mateusz Sławiński
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
In brief
- Market Talks stall between Dobrudzha and Diogo Ressurreição
- Transfer targets Dobrudzha ask about Radostin Stoilov
- The dugout The manager makes an example of Branko Pinďura
