No sign of nerves from Jeremy Agbonifo at 21 — 8.70

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Jeremy Agbonifo did not need any: 8.70, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Thomas Leggio: 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.” Altamura have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Michele Grande is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

Boardroom

Altamura to lose Calum Logan for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Calum Logan has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Match

7 unbeaten for Altamura

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Altamura did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Tempers go at Altamura

Jeremy Agbonifo 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.

Squad

Nicola Dipinto has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Match

Altamura and Picerno take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Michele Grande runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Fabrizio Alastra

There were 6 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.

Player ratings

Matteo Zazza, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.80

A mark of 7.80 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Alberto Spina asks to leave Altamura

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Nicola Dipinto was immovable

25 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Tempers go at Altamura

Nicola Dipinto 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.

The terraces

Altamura supporters have found a favourite in Mattia Florio

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Mattia Florio has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Mattia Florio sends Altamura past Picerno

It finished 1‑0, and it was Mattia Florio’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Altamura.

Squad

Enrico Silletti 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.

Player ratings

Mattia Florio was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.02. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
