Jakub Łukowski 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 Polonia Bytom this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Polonia Bytom
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jean Franco Sarmiento was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Kamil Wojtyra asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Kuba Bochniarz is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

A reunion for Piotr Rogala
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Gornik Leczna in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The manager makes Jakub Szymański a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Polonia Bytom. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Polonia Bytom host Gornik Leczna
Next up at home: Gornik Leczna, who go into it in position 9. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

The manager plants his flag on Jakub Łukowski
“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Jakub Łukowski’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.
