Defences have started doubling up on Vlad Marin
14 goals and a season average of 7.26 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Idrissa Dioh 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 Pandurii this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of those days for Vlad Marin
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.22, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The manager makes an example of Josip Krznarić
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Nicusor Marin has seen enough of Nomme Kalju
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pandurii, and 0 appearances in 10 say he has earned the hearing.

Honours even between Pandurii and FCSB
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Stefan Maxim chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.
In brief
- Looking ahead Pandurii take on the side everybody is chasing
