Squad

Tempers go at Sydney FC

Paul Okon-Engstler 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.

Squad

Words at Sydney FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohamed Raafat 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.

Squad

Nathan Baker signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nathan Baker and Sydney FC agree another 3 years.

Boardroom

Sydney FC spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Sydney FC

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

Squad

Paul Okon-Engstler 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.

Squad

Fin Conchie 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 Sydney FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Nathan Baker out for 39 days

The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Nathan Baker, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Sydney FC lose Logan Sambrook

32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
