The Heidenheim Chronicle
The terraces21 Jan 2047
Anger at Heidenheim spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.
Squad21 Jan 2047
A knee injury of the worst kind for Gregor Albrecht
85 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Heidenheim lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Jamie Schuldes: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Heidenheim have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Player ratings21 Jan 2047
Aimar Ruiz, 37, rolls back the years — 7.85
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.85 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.
Match19 Jan 2047
No end in sight to Heidenheim's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Heidenheim has to find a result from somewhere.

The manager makes an example of Nikola Pasalic
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
