Match22 Oct 2029

Every point is an argument now for Boa

Position 11 and 10 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market22 Oct 2029

Max Oliveira 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 Boa can pretend not to have heard.

Market22 Oct 2029

Only the photograph left for Dudu Nardini

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Dudu Nardini will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Boa the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Wallace Oliveira 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 Boa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Boa lose João Fonseca

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Patrick knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Patrick trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief

  • Market The clock does Isaac Bryan’s negotiating for him
  • Boardroom The Boa production line keeps running
  • Squad Diego Santos is not doing himself any favours

Match22 Jul 2028

32 matches without a win for Boa

The run now stands at 32, and the questions being asked around Boa are no longer polite ones.

Match24 Jul 2028

Every point is an argument now for Boa

Position 11 and 5 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad24 Jul 2028

A one-man rearguard from Valsir

There were 7 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 Jul 2028

João Denoni is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Boa is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market24 Jul 2028

Valsir’s move to Sampaio Correa falls through

The deal that would have taken Valsir to Sampaio Correa has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Boa with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Isaac Bryan keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Boa may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings24 Jul 2028

A defender's afternoon for Isaac Bryan

Defensive actions: 24. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Júnior Tavares 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 Boa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings24 Jul 2028

Lucas Lopes shuts the door

Defensive actions: 21, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

In brief

  • Squad João Denoni gets it from the manager
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Marcelinho
  • Match Point won or two lost for Boa?

Match29 Apr 2028

The wait goes on for Boa

20 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match29 Apr 2028

Chastening afternoon for Boa

A 1‑6 beating by Criciuma was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market1 May 2028

João Denoni is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Boa is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad1 May 2028

Tempers go at Boa

Éverton 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.

Squad1 May 2028

Júnior Tavares gets it from the manager

“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.

Player ratings1 May 2028

Marcelinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings1 May 2028

One of those days for Alípio

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad1 May 2028

6 past Valsir

Whether it was the goalkeeper or the ten in front of him is the argument that will fill every conversation in town this week. 4 saves does not settle it either way.

Boardroom1 May 2028

Inquest at Boa

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.
