A one-man rearguard from Moussa Ba
There were 6 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.

Paul Moulot puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Quevilly-Rouen, and it is not being withdrawn.

Filip Pobi 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.

Moussa Ba 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 Quevilly-Rouen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The dugout21 Oct 2030
No hiding place for Lucas Buades
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lucas Buades, and the manager let it.

Quevilly-Rouen lose Rémi Dubois
24 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
Boardroom21 Oct 2030
Doors closed at Quevilly-Rouen
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.
In brief
