15 matches without a win for Orebro
The run now stands at 15, and the questions being asked around Orebro are no longer polite ones.

Orebro are in real trouble now
Position 14, 12 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Orebro are in real trouble now
Position 14, 8 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

The manager makes an example of Igor Kalinin
“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.

It finished 3-3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Beaten 0-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

“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.

The manager makes an example of Antonio Yakoub
“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.

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Jakub Ojrzyński knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.
Match13 Mar 2027
1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

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

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

50 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

A 1-1 draw with Haugesund leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
