Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Razvan Hagi

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Pandurii lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sergiu Burca

Successful dribbles: 33. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Vlad Burca 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.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Pandurii

Position 8 and 8 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.

Match

5 matches without a win for Pandurii

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Pandurii are no longer polite ones.

Market

Adrian Nita’s move to Botosani falls through

The deal that would have taken Adrian Nita to Botosani has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Pandurii with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

Tempers go at Pandurii

Marius Puscas 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

Alexandre Coeff 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

Pandurii lose Razvan Chiriches

42 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Razvan Chiriches damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

Pandurii let it slip despite Lorenzo Biliboc

Lorenzo Biliboc had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Petrolul were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Lorenzo Biliboc at 20 — 8.09

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Lorenzo Biliboc did not need any: 8.09, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Pandurii

Alexandre Coeff 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Sergiu Burca

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.24, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market

No place for Dorin Dragusin in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Dorin Dragusin has his answer from Pandurii; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad

Razvan Stanciu 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.

Match

Honours even between Pandurii and Petrolul

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings

The cruellest goal, and it is Adrian Man's

A touch he did not want, a bounce he could not have read, and his name in the wrong column. There is no consoling a man after one of these, and Pandurii will not try tonight.

In brief
