Player ratings

A brace, and Jean-Pierre Nsame takes the afternoon — 8.95

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Jean-Pierre Nsame provided it, and the 8.95 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Pandurii come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Pogon did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Mihai Nita will not be coming to Pogon

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Pandurii is saying, and nobody at Pogon is enjoying the guessing.

Match

Pogon cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Words exchanged at Pogon

Attila Szalai and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Pogon rebuffed over Bartłomiej Gradecki

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ruch have kept their man, and Pogon go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Filip Čuić

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Pogon see off Gornik Leczna

Three points for Pogon, 2‑0 the final word against Gornik Leczna in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

Cracovia join the queue for Dimitris Keramitsis

Add another name to the list: Cracovia have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Dimitris Keramitsis. The answer from Pogon has not changed — yet.

In brief
