Marked for Mads Agger

Uneasy
Match10 Oct 2026
No end in sight to Pogon's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Pogon has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad12 Oct 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pogon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Attila Szalai 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.
Loan watch12 Oct 2026
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pogon, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.
Squad12 Oct 2026
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tobías Torres commits to Pogon for another 4 years.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Mads Agger 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.
Back issues

Crisis
The terraces14 Sep 2026
The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 6 of the 28 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.
Squad14 Sep 2026
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Musa Juwara and Pogon agree another 4 years.

Match12 Sep 2026
0‑1 to Wisla Krakow, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Tempers go at Pogon
Patryk Dziczek 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.
Loan watch14 Sep 2026
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pogon, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
8 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Marked 5.71. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Steady
The terraces10 Aug 2026
The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 27 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Tempers go at Pogon
Kamil Grosicki 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.
Squad10 Aug 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Linus Wahlqvist and Pogon agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad10 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Kamil Grosicki
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Market10 Aug 2026
The name of Kacper Smoliński has come up in conversations Pogon were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Match8 Aug 2026
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Market10 Aug 2026
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Pogon has been clear about where Leonardo Koutris stands, which is more than many ever get.
Market10 Aug 2026
Still no offer on the table, and Valentin Cojocaru’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
Market10 Aug 2026
Marcel Reguła is 19, and Pogon have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Triumph
Squad3 Aug 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Kellyn Acosta and Pogon agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad3 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pogon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad3 Aug 2026
Words at Pogon training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Attila Szalai 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.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
One of those days for Mads Agger
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
Market3 Aug 2026
José Pozo is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Pogon has been clear about where José Pozo stands, which is more than many ever get.
Squad3 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Filip Čuić, and the manager let it.
Match1 Aug 2026
It finished 1‑0, and it was Mads Agger’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Pogon.
Market3 Aug 2026
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
Market3 Aug 2026
Nobody at Pogon has picked up the phone to Kellyn Acosta
36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
