Squad23 Aug 2027
87 days out for Amadou Sabo after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Suduva will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match23 Aug 2027
Suduva are top
36 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Alessandro Scacchetti due for a Suduva medical
Everything agreed with Carpi, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Walid Dhouib has agreed to leave Suduva for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Suduva rebuffed over Thanasis Karamanis
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Atromitos have kept their man, and Suduva go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Moutir Chajia is on it.

Steve Lawson 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 Steve Lawson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
The dugout23 Aug 2027
A door opens for Mirko Andrić
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
