A knee injury of the worst kind for Sander Berge
52 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Molde lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Noah Bout puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Molde, and it is not being withdrawn.
Player ratings13 Aug 2046
Both of them Mikkel Bro Hansen's — 8.48
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.48, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Molde turn down Haugesund for Gennaro Calabrese
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

So close: Patrick Pedersen’s move dies late
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Haugesund moved on, Patrick Pedersen reports back to Molde, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Luke Gilligan is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Molde is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Words at Molde training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukáš Franc 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.

Molde leaking at the back
4 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

No time for Mjondalen to settle
The goal that put Mjondalen ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Molde equalised, 4 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.
In brief
- Squad Molde lose Patrick Pedersen
- Squad Luke Fahrenhorst is still paying for one afternoon at Molde
- Match Molde share the spoils with Mjondalen
