Squad

Jacob Rinne claims the golden glove

The one award nobody else on the pitch can win goes to Jacob Rinne, on 7 clean sheets across the season. Keepers wait a career for a season like it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Adam Ståhl

“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.

The dugout

Patric Åslund has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Djurgarden will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Loan watch

Nobody is scoring past Filip Manojlović at IK Start

7 shut-outs in 13 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Filip Manojlović has been having a lot of them.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Hjalmar Fredricson's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market

Kristian Strømland Lien linked with a move away

The name of Kristian Strømland Lien keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Djurgarden say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

Still no signature from Miro Tenho

2 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Djurgarden could get for him.

Squad

Miro Tenho wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Djurgarden have no good answer.

The dugout

A door opens for Oliver Gustafsson

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Match

Djurgarden up to position 3

22 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Carl Selfvén has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Djurgarden they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Nobody wins at Djurgarden

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Match

Patric Åslund sends Djurgarden past BK Hacken

It finished 2‑1, and it was Patric Åslund’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Djurgarden.

The dugout

Jacob Rinne 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

One of those days for Patric Åslund

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.53, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Carl Johansson in the eights

A performance of 8.25 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

The month belongs to Patric Åslund

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Djurgarden have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Squad

Daniel Stensson named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Daniel Stensson is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad

Sebastian Ohlsson damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Patric Åslund sends Djurgarden through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Patric Åslund obliged against Öster. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Djurgarden.

Market

Kalipha Jawla has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Djurgarden they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Matias Siltanen is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Player ratings

A hand in 3 of them from Bo Hegland — 7.89

Marked 7.89. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Match

Djurgarden come up short against Malmo FF

Malmo FF left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Jeppe Okkels was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. 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.

Player ratings

Patric Åslund was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.34. 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.

Player ratings

Miro Tenho in the eights

A performance of 8.03 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
