The HNK Vukovar 1991 Post

26 Oct 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Jakov Biljan: 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.” HNK Vukovar 1991 have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Kristijan Čabrajić 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Luka Klanac 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Josip Špoljarić's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Bojan Rebic chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Looking ahead26 Oct 2026

HNK Vukovar 1991 take on the side everybody is chasing

Dinamo Zagreb arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Match24 Oct 2026

HNK Vukovar 1991 and Istra 1961 cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Istra 1961 came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Looking ahead26 Oct 2026

Fran Čuljak goes back to face Dinamo Zagreb

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Fran Čuljak’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and HNK Vukovar 1991 needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Kristijan Pavičić was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 10. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

21 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad21 Sep 2026

The step up is real for Pavle Smiljanić

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match19 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for HNK Vukovar 1991 against Lokomotiva Zagreb

1‑2 to Lokomotiva Zagreb, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Josip Špoljarić ran the middle of the pitch — 7.34

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 10 combined actions and a mark of 7.34, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Mario Tadić

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mario Tadić, and the manager let it.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Kristijan Pavičić runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Bojan Rebic left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Lovre Kulušić is the weekend's best young player

At 19 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Robin Gonzalez left out for tactical reasons at HNK Vukovar 1991

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Looking ahead21 Sep 2026

A reunion for Antonio Bosec

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Slaven Belupo in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad17 Aug 2026

A fracture rules Luka Lamešić out for 43 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason HNK Vukovar 1991 will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Igor Andreev turns down HNK Vukovar 1991

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Rodina keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

CSKA Moscow tell HNK Vukovar 1991: Vladislav Torop is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at HNK Vukovar 1991

Marko Đira 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

HNK Vukovar 1991 come up short against Dinamo Zagreb

Dinamo Zagreb left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad17 Aug 2026

12 new faces, and HNK Vukovar 1991 are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Bojan Rebic answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Marko Đira is a square peg at HNK Vukovar 1991

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

A loan move for Rodrigo Rodrigues is in the works

HNK Vukovar 1991 have made the call to Olympiacos. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

In brief
