The terraces

Anger at Atromitos 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Atromitos

Karol Świderski 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

Words at Atromitos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan-José Perea 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.

Match

Atromitos cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Match

Atromitos come up short against OFI

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Federico Macheda

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Federico Macheda, and the manager let it.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Evangelos Retsos left the room before anybody could ask which.

Player ratings

Miloš Pantović runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

The form table has caught José Ángel

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Atromitos are in real trouble now

Position 13, 17 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

The dugout

Thanasis Karamanis keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Atromitos may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Karol Świderski 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 Atromitos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Atromitos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Steven Zuber 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.

Squad

Panagiotis Tsantilas slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Panagiotis Tsantilas is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

The dugout

When it matters, Lefteris Choutesiotis plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief
