The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Mikołaj Molendowski did not need any: 7.61, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.03 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.
Marked 7.89. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.
Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Romário Baró 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.
1‑0 against RAAL La Louviere, and a performance that will be described to people who were not there for the rest of the season. Luquinhas was at the centre of the description.
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Radomiak Radom are dealing with a man who wants a different country.
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.
Adrián Diéguez 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.

Words at Radomiak Radom training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Romário Baró 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.
Marked 8.17 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
Radomiak Radom close the window on a squad of their own making
11 in and 21 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mikołaj Molendowski is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
Radomiak Radom asked and AZ said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Romário Baró was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Radomiak Radom this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Josh Wilson-Esbrand has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.
