AIK fall to Kalmar in training match as Pavey calls out the level

Pavey: "We didn't reach the level we know we can"

AIK lost a training match against Kalmar FF, and Charlie Pavey did not sugarcoat it. "We don't reach the level we know we can maintain," he told AIK+ (2). The match slipped away in what the headline called "nightmare minutes", a brief collapse that decided it. Edh returned to play, a small positive on an otherwise flat afternoon (2).

Nothing counts in the table, but the performance matters. Your team sit tenth in the Allsvenskan, coming off that 4–1 derby loss to Hammarby, and the summer break is supposed to be a reset. A training-match defeat to Kalmar does not kill the mood, but it does not lift it either.

Fan reactions

Fans are treating this one for what it is, a training match in June. The bigger worry is whether the squad that lost 4–1 to Hammarby gets the reinforcements it needs before the Allsvenskan restarts. Ågren and Yawe Höök are names being watched, and most supporters seem to agree the back line cannot stay as it is.
