The Mirandés Post

Pablo Hernández breaks a bone — 33 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

João Pedro Gonçalves asks to leave Mirandés
“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.

Age has not caught Kike Barja yet — 8.03
At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.03 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

The wait goes on for Mirandés
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Boardroom21 Oct 2030
Naël Moussa has agreed to leave Mirandés for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Tempers go at Mirandés
Pablo López 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.

Words at Mirandés training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Toni Tamarit is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Mirandés count the cost of losing Alejandro Serrano
19 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
In brief
- Match Honours even between Mirandés and Andorra
- Market Diego Valencia linked with a move away
- Player ratings Toni Tamarit runs at them all day
