Match

Stade Brestois throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with LOSC Lille the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Stade Brestois will enjoy reviewing.

Squad

16 days out for Aldrig Colin after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Stade Brestois will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings

Both of them Ludovic Ajorque's — 8.68

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.68, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Mamady Diambou is on his way

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

Squad

Tempers go at Stade Brestois

Lucas Tousart 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 dugout

Mathieu Patouillet 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Stade Brestois

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Juan Ignacio Molina was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Loan watch

Sacha Viel has seen enough of Quevilly-Rouen

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Stade Brestois, and 7 appearances in 24 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

Stade Brestois share the spoils with LOSC Lille

A 2‑2 draw with LOSC Lille leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

25 days out for Aldrig Colin after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Stade Brestois will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

Stade Brestois are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 44 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings

Lucas Tousart pops up at the right end — 7.91

7.91, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mama Baldé

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Lucas Tousart 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 Stade Brestois this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ander Cantero

Stade Brestois asked and Espanyol said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Stade Brestois see off Olympique Lyonnais

Three points for Stade Brestois, 2‑1 the final word against Olympique Lyonnais in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

Stade Brestois supporters have found a favourite in Pathé Mboup

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Pathé Mboup 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.

Looking ahead

Top-of-the-table clash for Stade Brestois

LOSC Lille next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Kenny Lala
  • Squad João Resende falls out with a teammate over standards
  • The dugout The view from the dugout

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Aldrig Colin breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Mamady Diambou agrees terms with US Boulogne

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Stade Brestois people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets

AS Saint-Etienne tell Stade Brestois: Gautier Larsonneur is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Stade Brestois turn down Montpellier HSC for Gautier Lloris

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Joris Chotard raises the bar for Stade Brestois

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Stade Brestois heard it as anything else.

Squad

Home is on Mohamed Abdelmonem's mind

“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; Stade Brestois are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Match

Stade Brestois get the job done against Paris FC

A 1‑0 win over Paris FC, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Junior Dina Ebimbe

Marked 8.01 — 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Stade Brestois

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Juan Ignacio Molina was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
