Charalabos Erotokritou is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

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.

A masterclass from Dennis Bakke Gaustad

Dennis Bakke Gaustad is off the mark for Doxa
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Valentino Pereira could have had three
7 attempts, none of them in. He got into the right places all afternoon, which is the hard part, and did the easy part badly — and that is the version of a bad day a manager can live with.
In brief
- Market Nicolae Milinceanu linked with a move away
