The Gubbio Post
Match26 Aug 2028
The wait goes on for Gubbio
10 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.

The goals have deserted Gubbio
10 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Gubbio can tell you which week it ends in.

Federico Carraro gets it from the manager

The Francesco Zallu talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Gubbio know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Nobody could get near Raffaele Marchioro
Successful dribbles: 9. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
