Squad

Andrés Vombergar damages knee ligaments — 31 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 31 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Sékou Mara scores twice — 8.77

Two goals and a mark of 8.77 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match

AJ Auxerre make it 6 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now AJ Auxerre have 6 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Elisha Owusu pops up at the right end — 7.59

7.59, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Player ratings

Josué Casimir runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

AJ Auxerre may not be able to give Axel Tuanzebe what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Axel Tuanzebe wants continental football; whether AJ Auxerre can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

A falling-out at AJ Auxerre

Romain Faivre and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Another one collected away from home

4 on the bounce on the road for AJ Auxerre. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match

AJ Auxerre find a way past Stade Brestois

Stade Brestois made AJ Auxerre work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match

Telli Siwe sends AJ Auxerre through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Telli Siwe obliged against Le Havre AC. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is AJ Auxerre.

Player ratings

Josué Casimir runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Telli Siwe, 21, steals the show — 8.00

Marked 8.00 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for AJ Auxerre — 7.73

1 for Kelvin Amian, marked 7.73, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Romain Faivre 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 AJ Auxerre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

AJ Auxerre supporters have found a favourite in Jamal Gonzaga

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Jamal Gonzaga has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

AJ Auxerre come up short against Angers SCO

Angers SCO left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Rémy Labeau Lascary 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.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Gabriel Da Silva to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
