Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Villads Westh

43 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Silkeborg lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match21 Nov 2026

Silkeborg make home a hard place to visit

12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

David Atanga was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. 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.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Silkeborg

Alexander Busch 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.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Ninety minutes of Younes Bakiz at his very best

Marked 8.33. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Silkeborg.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Silkeborg lose Sofus Berger

48 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match21 Nov 2026

Honours even between Silkeborg and Vejle

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Half-satisfied: Robert Schmeichel on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Silkeborg pick somebody else ahead of Ivan Milićević

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match28 Oct 2026

Younes Bakiz sends Silkeborg through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Younes Bakiz obliged against Lyngby. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Silkeborg.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

No sign of nerves from Alexander Simmelhack at 20 — 7.80

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Alexander Simmelhack did not need any: 7.80, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match31 Oct 2026

Nobody wins at Silkeborg

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

Silkeborg supporters have found a favourite in Sofus Berger

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Sofus Berger 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.

Match31 Oct 2026

Silkeborg see off Brondby

Three points for Silkeborg, 1‑0 the final word against Brondby in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

One of those days for Rami Al Hajj

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.29, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Villads Westh in the eights

A performance of 8.21 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Younes Bakiz in the eights

A performance of 8.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Alejo Sarco

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Silkeborg told Alejo Sarco something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Match17 Sep 2026

A European night to remember for Silkeborg

0‑0 against Valur, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Nicolai Larsen breaks a bone — 54 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 54 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Callum McCowatt beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match20 Sep 2026

Whatever happens, Silkeborg do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Silkeborg

Rami Al Hajj 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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

David Atanga dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout21 Sep 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.” Robert Schmeichel chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

David Atanga gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say David Atanga is on it.

Market21 Sep 2026

Sofus Berger told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Sofus Berger has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Silkeborg.

Squad7 Sep 2026

71 days out for Nicolai Larsen after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Silkeborg will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Jens Martin Gammelby 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 Silkeborg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Deadline beats Silkeborg to Iqraam Rayners

The clock did what Mamelodi Sundowns would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 13 signed and 20 gone

That is the business done at Silkeborg until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Market7 Sep 2026

Aalborg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Silkeborg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Élohim Kaboré is a medical away from Silkeborg

The deal with Hammarby is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Max Dean will not be coming to Silkeborg

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at KAA Gent is saying, and nobody at Silkeborg is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Door shut on Dinis Rodrigues

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Silkeborg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Milićević 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.

Market24 Aug 2026

Silkeborg make Ivan Milićević the dearest name in their history

$2.3M. Fees like that buy a footballer and rent a debate: every touch will be measured against the number for a season at least.

Squad24 Aug 2026

86 days out for Nicolai Larsen after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Silkeborg will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

An offer of $5.7M for Williams Manyama

Silkeborg have gone to SuperSport United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market24 Aug 2026

Sofus Berger hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Silkeborg can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Silkeborg baulk at the price for Justin Janssen

FC Nordsjaelland wanted more than $2.9M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market24 Aug 2026

Silkeborg say no — this time

The offer from Raufoss for Aske Andrésen was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The town asked, and Silkeborg paid $2.3M

Ivan Milićević was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $2.3M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Silkeborg agree a free transfer for Andreas Søndergaard

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Élohim Kaboré

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