Match31 Oct 2026

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

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

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Wiktor Kamiński says Slask went back on their word

“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.

Match31 Oct 2026

The goals have deserted Slask

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Slask can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Slask

Mariusz Malec was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Antoni Klimek beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match31 Oct 2026

Pogoń Siedlce take the points off Slask

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

Nobody left the Slask dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Petr Schwarz 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 dugout2 Nov 2026

Slask keep their word to Lamine Bâ

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Michał Szromnik stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Michał Szromnik 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 Slask this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Slask

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Przemysław Banaszak was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Timotej Jambor

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match26 Sep 2026

Slask get the job done against Miedź Legnica

A 2‑0 win over Miedź Legnica, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

One of those days for Piotr Samiec-Talar

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.29, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Luka Marjanac 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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Przemysław Banaszak 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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

A satisfied Bartosz Kaminski

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Bartosz Kaminski could afford to be generous.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Both of them Przemysław Banaszak's — 9.02

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.02, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Michał Brudnicki keeps Slask in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match19 Sep 2026

Slask get the job done against Stal Mielec

A 3‑1 win over Stal Mielec, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Slask

Mariusz Malec and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

One of their own: Jakub Jędrasik

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Piotr Samiec-Talar was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.22. 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Slask training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Endika is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Bartosz Kaminski, on a 3‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Yehor Sharabura

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yehor Sharabura, and the manager let it.
