Match

The wait goes on for Gefle

9 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.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Malïk Mokédé at 21 — 7.91

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Malïk Mokédé did not need any: 7.91, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Amadeus Sögaard 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 Gefle this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Dennis Olsson 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 terraces

Gefle supporters have found a favourite in Malïk Mokédé

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Malïk Mokédé 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.

Squad

Dennis Olsson 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

Nobody could get near Noah Lundström

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Miguel Sánchez dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Malïk Mokédé rescues a point for Gefle

It needed Malïk Mokédé to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against IF Elfsborg, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Match

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

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

Squad

Amadeus Sögaard 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 Gefle this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Gefle beat the market to Rio von Schéele Rosén from GIF Sundsvall

GIF Sundsvall will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Rio von Schéele Rosén has pre-agreed a move to Gefle, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad

Dennis Olsson 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

Eric Larsson 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Gefle

8 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.

Match

Gefle and Malmo FF cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Malmo FF came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Market

Still no signature from Mamadou Kouyaté

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

Market

The Rodolfo story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Rodolfo signs something — a contract at Gefle or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Mamadou Kouyaté is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Gefle is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A move Alexandru Ghiţă would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Alexandru Ghiţă is living that version at Gefle, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom

Mamadou Kouyaté signs for Kalmar FF while still at Gefle

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Mamadou Kouyaté has agreed terms with Kalmar FF for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Eric Larsson 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 Gefle this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Gefle agree a free transfer for Jeremiah Björnler

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad

Dennis Olsson 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

Lukas Vikgren signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lukas Vikgren and Gefle agree another 3 years.

Market

48 months and counting on Carlos Jacinto

Still no offer on the table, and Carlos Jacinto’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Noah Lundström

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
