Player ratings

Mickaël Malsa shuts the door

Defensive actions: 31, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

Nobody wants to play Mirandés right now

6 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Igor Nikić

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Carlos Fernández 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 Mirandés this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Carlos Fernández

Marked 9.18 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Alberto Marí is carrying Mirandés

12 goals and a season average of 7.26. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match

Mirandés get the job done against Burgos

A 2‑0 win over Burgos, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Ali Houary

Marked 8.61 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Sergio Postigo shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

In brief

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Antoniu Roca

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

4 matches without a win for Albacete

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Albacete are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Albacete

Antonio Puertas 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.

Player ratings

Antonio Puertas in the eights

A performance of 8.93 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Antonio Pacheco

“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.

Match

Albacete share the spoils with Eibar

A 2‑2 draw with Eibar leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Marc Cardona

Marked 5.69, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Market

Still no ink between Albacete and Pepe Sánchez

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Albacete, another week without a signature from Pepe Sánchez.

Squad

“I want to play”: Kjell Peersman speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad

Igor Nikić keeps Mirandés in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Carlos Fernández 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 Mirandés this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

One of those days for Javi Hernàndez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.63, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

One of those days for Alberto Marí

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Ali Houary runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Honours even between Mirandés and Racing Santander

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market

Albacete turn down Elche for Pepe Sánchez

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Albacete

Antonio Puertas 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.

Squad

Eder out for 18 days

The medical room confirms 18 days on the sidelines for Eder, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

A long bet from Albacete on Alberto Martínez

He is 15, and nobody at Albacete signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

Albacete buy the years ahead of Luka Peña

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

A long bet from Albacete on Luka Vega

He is 16, and nobody at Albacete signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
