Squad

Tempers go at Karlsruher SC

Sneider Navarro 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

Ognjen Obradovic 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.

Market

Ognjen Obradovic linked with a move away

The name of Ognjen Obradovic keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Karlsruher SC say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

The clock does Justin Treichel’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Karlsruher SC could ask drops and the wages Justin Treichel can ask rise.

Squad

“I want to play”: Lukas Grillitsch speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

The dugout

The manager makes Ezéckiel Zola Ngundu a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Karlsruher SC. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

The dugout

Peter Jäger knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Karlsruher SC, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Ivan Grujic still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Karlsruher SC would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Ivan Bikić placed on the list

Karlsruher SC have made Ivan Bikić available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Karlsruher SC board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

The dugout

Sven Scholz: 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.” Karlsruher SC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Frank Mayer is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Karlsruher SC is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words exchanged at Karlsruher SC

Sneider Navarro 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.

Squad

Words at Karlsruher SC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ognjen Obradovic 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.

Match

Karlsruher SC see off Greuther Fürth

Three points for Karlsruher SC, 1‑0 the final word against Greuther Fürth in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

Time is catching up with Tobiasz Kubik

Everybody at Karlsruher SC saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 33 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

The dugout

Medin Kojić gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Sneider Navarro was the difference for Karlsruher SC

Marked 7.25. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

In brief
