Squad

Moussa Faty damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The terraces

The mood at Le Puy Foot 43 has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad

A falling-out at Le Puy Foot 43

Moussa Faty and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Le Puy Foot 43

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Naël Moussa was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Roger Tamba gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Le Puy Foot 43 count the cost of losing Daniel Lemoine

21 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

Enzo Sautereau is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Market

Le Puy Foot 43 and Daniel Popa are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

The Plamedi Nsingi question follows Le Puy Foot 43 around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Plamedi Nsingi’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Matteo Ricci damages knee ligaments — 74 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 74 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Florian Tardieu frozen out at Le Puy Foot 43

This is not rotation. Florian Tardieu has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Le Puy Foot 43 is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Moussa Faty 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 Le Puy Foot 43 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Le Puy Foot 43 rebuffed over Destin Banzouzi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. EA Guingamp have kept their man, and Le Puy Foot 43 go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A muscle injury and 15 days out for César Bernal

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Le Puy Foot 43 will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Market

Marcel Roussel steps up from the Le Puy Foot 43 academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marcel Roussel has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Daniel Lemoine joins the Le Puy Foot 43 first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Lemoine is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Le Puy Foot 43 promote Luc Picard from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luc Picard has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Philippe Deschamps joins the Le Puy Foot 43 first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Philippe Deschamps is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
