Match

No end in sight to Huesca's wait for a win

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

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Alessandro Longoni

There were 7 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.

Squad

Mateo Prieto says Huesca went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Only the photograph left for Guillermo Vallejo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Guillermo Vallejo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Huesca the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Huesca

Pepelu 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.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Huesca

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jordan Graham

“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.

Match

Huesca share the spoils with Gijón

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

Market

Huesca buy the years ahead of Sullivan Doucet

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

The Stade Lavallois Courier

28 Aug 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Sidi Bane hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stade Lavallois can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Trévis Dago runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

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

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

Squad

Afonso Machado keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Stade Lavallois may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Julien Maggiotti 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 Lavallois this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Bourg-Peronnas expected to open talks for Trévis Dago

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Stade Lavallois will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Julien Maggiotti 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.

Match

Stade Lavallois come up short against Sochaux

Sochaux left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Trévis Dago asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
