Kellyn Acosta stays put
“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.

Kellyn Acosta in a row with a teammate
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.

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.

Karol Angielski the difference as Pogon beat Podbeskidzie
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Karol Angielski. 1‑0 against Podbeskidzie, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Benjamin Mendy 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 Benjamin Mendy stands, which is more than many ever get.

Kellyn Acosta was immovable
18 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Rajmund Molnár 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.

Pogon and Fredrik Ulvestad are talking past each other
“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.

Nobody at Pogon has picked up the phone to Attila Szalai
49 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
- Player ratings The afternoon belonged to Attila Szalai
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Kamil Grosicki
- Market Dawid Fornalik leaves for nothing
