Marked for Ameer Ali

163 Edition

The Derby County Herald

10 Sep 2029
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad10 Sep 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Matt Clarke

114 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Derby County lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Harry Cornick breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match8 Sep 2029

6 matches without a win for Derby County

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Derby County are no longer polite ones.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Andrew Robertson 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 Derby County this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Sep 2029

Ameer Ali gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Ameer Ali has just signed for Derby County, and for once the answer mattered.

Match8 Sep 2029

Charlton Athletic take the points off Derby County

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings10 Sep 2029

A masterclass from Issa Djiguiba

Marked 8.80 — 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.

Player ratings10 Sep 2029

Nobody could get near Kadan Young

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings10 Sep 2029

Carlton Morris keeps on missing

Shots: 12, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

The Pogon Gazette

5 Feb 2029
From our football correspondent Crisis

Player ratings5 Feb 2029

Teboho Williams runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match3 Feb 2029

The wait goes on for Pogon

5 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.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Pantelis Hatzidiakos 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 Pogon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Words at Pogon training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kellyn Acosta 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.

Match3 Feb 2029

Filip Čuić’s goal not enough for Pogon

Filip Čuić scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Lech, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad5 Feb 2029

The manager makes an example of Linus Wahlqvist

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match3 Feb 2029

No time for Lech to settle

The goal that put Lech ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Pogon equalised, 4 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Squad5 Feb 2029

The manager has not finished forgetting Valentin Cojocaru's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market5 Feb 2029

Pogon sign Ameer Ali, one for the future

Ameer Ali is 20, and Pogon have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
