Squad

6 saves: Jan Šťovíček was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Boardroom

Táborsko go back to the board over Petr Kaulfus

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $20.0K — a club that wants Petr Kaulfus enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Tempers go at Táborsko

Jan Štěrba 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.

Transfer targets

Táborsko make their move for Petr Kaulfus

$19.0K on the table at Mlada Boleslav. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Player ratings

Jakub Rezek beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A row about effort at Táborsko

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Denny Samko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Táborsko rebuffed over Roman Macek

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Táborsko against Slavia Kroměříž

0‑1 to Slavia Kroměříž, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Michal Zapletal signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Michal Zapletal and Táborsko agree another 3 years.

Squad

A move Denny Samko would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Denny Samko is living that version at Táborsko, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Martin Nový stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Martin Nový and Táborsko agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Táborsko

Denny Samko 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 Táborsko training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jan Štěrba 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Matěj Polidar

Táborsko asked and Jablonec said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

Táborsko supporters have found a favourite in James Bello

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. James Bello has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Táborsko find a way past Artis Brno

Artis Brno made Táborsko work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

One of our own: Jiri Provod joins the Táborsko first team

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

Market

Martin Darida steps up from the Táborsko academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Darida 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.
