Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Claudiu Stanciu

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

Match

Astra sink to position 9

14 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

9 matches without a win for Astra

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Astra are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Andrei Deac says Astra went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

George Puscas 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

The goals have deserted Astra

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Astra can tell you which week it ends in.

Market

Astra turn down Jagiellonia for Sergiu Bancu

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

Market

Alexandru Nita wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Astra hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Tempers go at Astra

Alexandru Nita 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.

George Puscas falls out with a teammate over standards

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Claudiu Deac

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Ionut Iancu was immovable

17 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
