Squad

A one-man rearguard from Wolfgang Baumgartner

There were 9 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.

Player ratings

Alexander Posch, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.76

A mark of 8.76 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Marco Baumgartner puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Admira Wacker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Rapid Wien join the queue for Gregor Kaiser

Add another name to the list: Rapid Wien have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Gregor Kaiser. The answer from Admira Wacker has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Valentino Ilsanker, 35, rolls back the years — 7.82

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Admira Wacker sell Peter Junuzovic for $1.1M

Peter Junuzovic has left for Sturm Graz in a $1.1M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Gregor Kaiser 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 Admira Wacker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Valentino Ilsanker 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.

The terraces

Admira Wacker supporters have found a favourite in Alexander Posch

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Alexander Posch 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Benevento come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Admira Wacker did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Gregor Kaiser 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 Admira Wacker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Valentino Ilsanker 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

Sebastian Dragovic 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gregor Kaiser

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Heinz Onisiwo keeps on missing

Shots: 7, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Marco Alaba

17 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Market

Marco Baumgartner told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Marco Baumgartner has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Admira Wacker.

Squad

Wolfgang Dragovic 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 Wolfgang Dragovic trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
