Match

Every point is an argument now for Pandurii

Position 9 and 3 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Daniel Nedelcearu 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 Pandurii can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A fracture rules a squad player out for 17 days

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

Squad

Luiz Porto stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Pandurii say no — this time

The offer from CFR Cluj for Dorin Maxim 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.

Match

6 matches without a win for Pandurii

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Pandurii are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Window shuts: 3 in, 1 out at Pandurii

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 3 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets

Joel Roca will not be coming to Pandurii

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Olympiacos is saying, and nobody at Pandurii is enjoying the guessing.

Match

Pandurii come up short against FCSB

FCSB left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

25 days out for a squad player after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Pandurii will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Bogdan Balasa 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 The request is on a desk at Pandurii, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

The wait goes on for Pandurii

5 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Daniel Nedelcearu

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Pandurii

Daniel Nedelcearu 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.

Transfer targets

Pandurii rebuffed over Samuel Edozie

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Southampton have kept their man, and Pandurii go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Dinamo Bucharest take the points off Pandurii

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout

No hiding place for Bogdan Man

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

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Dorin Ratiu left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings

Daniel Nedelcearu was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 38. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Pandurii bow out of the cup

Voluntari go through and Pandurii go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad

a squad player breaks a bone — 33 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Pandurii say no — this time

The offer from FCSB for Sergiu Balasa 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.

Player ratings

Vintage Bogdan Cicaldau — 7.98

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.98, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market

Andrei Stanciu 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 Pandurii can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Prince Adu Kwabena turns down Pandurii

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Viktoria Plzen keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Match

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

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Pandurii

Daniel Nedelcearu 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.
