Match

No end in sight to HNK Gorica's wait for a win

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

Squad

Tempers go at HNK Gorica

Patrik Mijić 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

Jurica Pršir 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 dugout

No hiding place for Tom Lacoux

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

Match

A bad afternoon for HNK Gorica against NK Osijek

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

Squad

Too much change too quickly at HNK Gorica

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Mateo Babic: “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

The form table has caught Domagoj Pavičić

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout

Jakov Filipović does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

In brief
