Market

Spartak Subotica come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

Luka Bijelović runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

A bad afternoon for Novi Pazar against Mladost Lucani

2‑3 to Mladost Lucani, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Jovan Manev 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.

Player ratings

Fejsal Mulić was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.26. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Tempers go at Novi Pazar

Ivan Davidović 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.

Squad

Novi Pazar are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Petar Vlahovic answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Tomislav Dadić

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Radnicki 1923 in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Dimitrije Janković at 20 — 7.67

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Dimitrije Janković did not need any: 7.67, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Driton Camaj signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Driton Camaj and Novi Pazar agree another 3 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Novi Pazar

Driton Camaj and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Novi Pazar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luka Bijelović 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.

Match

Novi Pazar get the job done against OFK Beograd

A 2‑1 win over OFK Beograd, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces

Novi Pazar supporters have found a favourite in Dimitrije Janković

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Dimitrije Janković 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Matija Malekinušić

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.01, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market

Talks stall between Novi Pazar and Aleksandar Miljković

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Nobody at Novi Pazar has picked up the phone to Fejsal Mulić

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.

In brief

  • Squad Novi Pazar are still strangers to each other
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout No place in the plan for Jovan Manev
