The Mattersburg Sentinel
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Nobody could get near Stefan Trimmel
Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Julian Eyestone keeps Mattersburg in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match26 Sep 2026
5 matches without a win for Mattersburg
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Mattersburg are no longer polite ones.
Market28 Sep 2026
Christoph Posch 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 Mattersburg can pretend not to have heard.
Match26 Sep 2026
Mattersburg leaking at the back
6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Marcel Alaba 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 Mattersburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match26 Sep 2026
Red Bull Salzburg take the points off Mattersburg
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Thomas Grillitsch 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.

Marcel Grillitsch wants to come home
“I did not go to Sturm Graz to sit and watch. I want to come back to Mattersburg and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 7 matches say the rest.
In brief
- Squad 5 new faces, and Mattersburg are still learning each other
