Squad24 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Mamadou Samassa

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mathys Houdayer hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stade Lavallois can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Idrissa Camara gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Idrissa Camara has just signed for Stade Lavallois, and for once the answer mattered.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Stade Lavallois's wait for a win

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Thibaut Vargas 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 Stade Lavallois this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Stade Lavallois training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dylan Mbayo 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Malik Tchokounté’s goal not enough for Stade Lavallois

Malik Tchokounté scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Stade de Reims, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

RC Lens tell Stade Lavallois: Steven Fortes is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Yohan Tavares

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

In brief

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Stade Lavallois

Thibaut Vargas 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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Stade Lavallois

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Stade Lavallois

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

Market17 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois promote Nicolas Dumas from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nicolas Dumas has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market17 Aug 2026

Robert Hubert steps up from the Stade Lavallois academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Robert Hubert has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Aug 2026

Mathieu Moulin steps up from the Stade Lavallois academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mathieu Moulin has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois promote Joseph Royer from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Joseph Royer has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Sam Sanna was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.33. 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois share the spoils with AS Nancy

A 2‑2 draw with AS Nancy leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market3 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois turn down Paris FC for Trévis Dago

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Thibaut Vargas signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Thibaut Vargas commits to Stade Lavallois for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Stade Lavallois

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

Match1 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois come up short against AS Saint-Etienne

AS Saint-Etienne left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Stade Lavallois

Owen Kouassi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market3 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois and Malik Tchokounté are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

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 1‑3 defeat, delivered by Olivier Durand to a room that had heard them before.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Stade Lavallois try to borrow Viktor Bjarki Daðason

FC Copenhagen have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Mamadou Samassa 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.
