The Västerås SK Chronicle
Match3 Oct 2026

Ola Kamara is slowing down

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Patrik Hiljemark to a room that had heard them before.

Herman Magnusson does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
In brief
