The terraces

Anger at Heidenheim spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Heidenheim

A 0‑5 beating by RB Leipzig was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Julian Niehues asks to leave Heidenheim

“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.

Squad

Sebastian Baumann breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Stefan Schimmer: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Heidenheim have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

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

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

Market

Leart Paçarada is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Heidenheim is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

Heidenheim cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Words exchanged at Heidenheim

Florian Micheler 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.

Squad

22 days out for Sebastian Baumann after a fracture

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

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Luca Philipp

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.

Market

Leopold Zingerle 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 Heidenheim can pretend not to have heard.

Match

4 matches without a win for Heidenheim

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Heidenheim are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Heidenheim

Budu Zivzivadze 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.

Squad

Robert Andrich 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 Heidenheim

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

Match

Heidenheim come up short against Borussia Mönchengladbach

Borussia Mönchengladbach left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Adrian Beck

“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.
