The Bra Chronicle
Match17 Oct 2026
No end in sight to Bra's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bra has to find a result from somewhere.

Real improvement from Woody Williamson at Bra
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Woody Williamson is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Franklyn Akammadu 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 Bra this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

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

“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.

Damiano Lia 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 afternoon belonged to Alessandro Fiordaliso
A mark of 7.11, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Bra draw a blank against Pontedera
The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Pontedera defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Ismet Sinani runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- Player ratings Alessio Brambilla spends the afternoon fouling
