The terraces

The mood at Heidenheim has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Heidenheim

A 2‑5 beating by Eintracht Frankfurt was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Ayoub El Jaray breaks a bone — 79 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 79 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Both of them Anass Hamite's — 8.65

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.65, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

The wait goes on for Heidenheim

7 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

7 goals as Heidenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Heidenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Words at Heidenheim training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maximiliano Meléndez 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Heidenheim

Jamie Schuldes 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Sil van der Wegen

“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.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Equi Fernández out for 19 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Heidenheim will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Heidenheim boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

Heinrich Günther keeps Heidenheim in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

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

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

Squad

Maximiliano Meléndez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

No hiding place for Jonathan Gómez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jonathan Gómez, and the manager let it.

Match

Anass Hamite rescues a point for Heidenheim

It needed Anass Hamite to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Hamburger SV, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

Tim Herrmann runs his contract down

1 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Heidenheim money.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Anass Hamite

Successful dribbles: 7. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A fracture rules Equi Fernández out for 47 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Heidenheim will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Heidenheim

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Heidenheim is running low.

Squad

Heinrich Günther keeps Heidenheim in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Christoph Fischer keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Maximiliano Meléndez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Heidenheim find a way past RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig made Heidenheim work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Maximiliano Meléndez takes the honours

Marked 7.76 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Heidenheim had the best player on the pitch.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Fabio Correia

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Still no signature from Tim Herrmann

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Heidenheim could get for him.
