From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The wait goes on for Haladas

15 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Dávid Bobál goes up and wins it — 7.77

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.77 for the rest of it.

Squad

Tempers go at Haladas

Igor Jeličić 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.

Match

Haladas rescue it on 87 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 87. Diosgyor had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Squad

A row about effort at Haladas

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

The dugout

Akos Fiola 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.

Match

Haladas and Diosgyor take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Roland Lang on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Roland Lang after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout

Haladas keep their word to Akos Fiola

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The wait goes on for Haladas

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Words exchanged at Haladas

Igor Jeličić 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Haladas against Vasas

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

Player ratings

Zsombor Menyhárt was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Haladas

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

The dugout

Roland Lang: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

Akos Nagy 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 dugout

Balazs Kleinheisler 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 Balazs Kleinheisler is on it.

Looking ahead

Zsombor Menyhárt goes back to face Fehervar

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

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

No end in sight to Haladas's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Haladas has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mark Kurlov

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words exchanged at Haladas

Barna Kesztyűs 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Dávid Bobál

Marked 8.04 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Late, late show earns Haladas a point

Minute 91, against Bekescsaba, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

The dugout

No hiding place for Dušan Brković

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

Squad

A row about effort at Haladas

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

Match

Honours even between Haladas and Bekescsaba

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

Player ratings

Dušan Jovanović keeps on missing

Shots: 12, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Squad Dávid Bobál finally opens his account
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Janos Botka
