Squad

Paul Delecroix keeps Dijon in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Dijon

A 0‑6 beating by Chamois Niortais was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Tyris Dong asks to leave Dijon

“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.

Match

The wait goes on for Dijon

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.

Match

The goals have deserted Dijon

5 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Dijon can tell you which week it ends in.

Market

Dijon sign Josué Escartin for $660.0K

The paperwork is done: Josué Escartin joins from Red Star in a deal worth $660.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Paul Delecroix 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 Dijon this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Dijon walk away from Nidal Čelik

$260.0K was the most the club would pay and RC Lens were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Match

6 goals as Dijon and Chamois Niortais go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Dijon and Chamois Niortais, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

In brief

  • The terraces Dijon spend $660.0K on the signing the town wanted
  • Transfer targets Door shut on Adam Taggart
  • The dugout No hiding place for Jordan Marié

Squad

Jordan Marié: 19 seasons and counting

348 appearances across 19 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Dijon know exactly what they have.

Market

Tyris Dong 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 Dijon can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Monaco tell Dijon: Stanis Idumbo 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.

Player ratings

Alexis Ntamack was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 27. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Paul Delecroix stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Michaël Barreto signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Michaël Barreto commits to Dijon for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Dijon

Paul Delecroix 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.

Match

Tours take the points off Dijon

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Talks stall between Dijon and Jordan Marié

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

In brief
