Squad

Mama Baldé damages knee ligaments — 96 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 96 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Stade Brestois

1‑6 against OGC Nice, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Illan Meslier

There were 9 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.

Market

Lucas Tousart puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Stade Brestois, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

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

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

The dugout

Dorian Fanni: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Stade Brestois have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stade Brestois

Ludovic Ajorque 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.

Match

7 goals as Stade Brestois and OGC Nice go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Stade Brestois and OGC Nice, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Hugo Magnetti 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.

In brief
