No end in sight to SC Bastia's wait for a win
17 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at SC Bastia has to find a result from somewhere.

The knee: Florian Bohnert out for 73 days
73 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. SC Bastia lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Tempers go at SC Bastia
Adam Masina 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.

Graduation day at SC Bastia

Eyes on Lucas Bonelli again
The phone has started ringing about Lucas Bonelli again, and this time the name on the line is US Concarneau. SC Bastia are listening politely and promising nothing.

Jean-Baptiste Deschamps steps up from the SC Bastia academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jean-Baptiste Deschamps 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.
