Match

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

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

Market

Gabriel Lukačević 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 Grodig can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Serafin Bütow: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Grodig have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Salif Tietietta 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 Grodig this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Grodig training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sebastian Bauer 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

Alexander Gründler’s goal not enough for Grodig

Alexander Gründler scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Red Bull Salzburg, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match

The small margins put Grodig out

Out, 0‑2 to SV Ried, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match

A hiding for Grodig

Beaten 0‑3 by Wolfsberger AC, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match

The wait goes on for Grodig

6 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.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Grodig

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Sebastian Bauer 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.

Squad

Jonas Perrault 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 Grodig this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sebastian Bauer

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Inquest at Grodig

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market

Simon Ernemann is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Grodig has been clear about where Simon Ernemann stands, which is more than many ever get.
