Match

The wait goes on for Admira Wacker

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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Aleksey Kalinichev

There were 7 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

Jacob Peter Hödl runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

A bad afternoon for Admira Wacker against Rapid Wien

1‑2 to Rapid Wien, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Loan watch

Markus Grillitsch wants to come home

“I did not go to Grodig to sit and watch. I want to come back to Admira Wacker and fight for my place.” 11 appearances in 12 matches say the rest.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Thomas Lazaro

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Thomas Lazaro has come out of that comparison in the side, and Admira Wacker have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Player ratings

Michael Onisiwo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 55. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Philipp Wober at 17 — 7.74

The hardest thing about being 17 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Philipp Wober did not need any: 7.74, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Admira Wacker turn down St. Gallen for Thomas Lazaro

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Martin Posch asks to leave Admira Wacker

“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

Admira Wacker make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Admira Wacker have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Aleksey Kalinichev 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

The crowd has taken to Philipp Wober

At 17 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Admira Wacker get the job done against Grodig

A 1‑0 win over Grodig, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Marcel Schlager takes the honours

Marked 7.81 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Admira Wacker had the best player on the pitch.
