Match

12 matches without a win for Panserraikos

The run now stands at 12, and the questions being asked around Panserraikos are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Javi Llabrés was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 37. 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

Panserraikos sink to position 13

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

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Panserraikos

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Panserraikos is running low.

The dugout

Filippo Rino Bignamini says Panserraikos went back on their word

Transfer targets

The deal with AEK is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Tempers go at Panserraikos

David Tebili 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

Door shut on João Fidalgo

Panserraikos asked and AEK said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Valery Yakovlev arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Valery Yakovlev has, at Panserraikos, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

In brief
