The terraces10 Dec 2029
The mood at Angers SCO 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.
Market10 Dec 2029
Owen Kouassi hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Angers SCO can pretend not to have heard.
Squad10 Dec 2029
Guillaume Restes stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

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

A falling-out at Angers SCO
Quentin Merlin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad10 Dec 2029
Angers SCO lose Benoît Morin
28 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Words at Angers SCO training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Owen Kouassi 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.
Match8 Dec 2029
Olympique de Marseille take the points off Angers SCO
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout10 Dec 2029
Ousmane Camara 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.
