Squad

The step up is real for Liberato Just

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Southern United

Monty McCowatt and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Late improvement for Liberato Waine

At 27 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Boardroom

Southern United close the window on a squad of their own making

10 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

Noah Van Hattum is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Southern United

Monty McCowatt 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

Dane Reid has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

Words at Southern United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Michael Singh 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.

The dugout

Joe De Vries 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.

Market

Southern United say no — this time

The offer from Team Wellington for Callum Just was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Ryan McCowatt 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 Southern United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Michael Singh stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michael Singh and Southern United agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Monty McCowatt 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.

Words exchanged at Southern United

Stefan Van Hattum and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Jake Sutton attracts admirers

The name of Jake Sutton has come up in conversations Southern United were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
