Match

Chastening afternoon for Thun

A 1-4 beating by St. Gallen was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Nicolas Bürgy gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Thun dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Match

Thun sink to position 8

16 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Niklas Steffen

There were 7 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Thun against Grasshopper

1-2 to Grasshopper, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Mathías Tomás hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Thun can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Michael Heule stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Michael Heule and Thun agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Thun see off Vaduz

Three points for Thun, 2-1 the final word against Vaduz in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match

Thun get the job done against SV Ried

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Thun against Lugano

0-1 to Lugano, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

No place for Christopher Ibayi on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Thun pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Genís Montolio

“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.

Squad

Christopher Ibayi has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Christopher Ibayi keeps the shirt for now, at Thun's convenience rather than his own.

Squad

Valentin Guillaume knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Thun, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

No end in sight to Thun's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Thun has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Giovanni Carbone asks to leave Thun

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

Thun come up short against Sion

Sion left with the points after a 1-2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jan Bamert

“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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Niklas Steffen

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Niklas Steffen knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Niklas Steffen

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

4 matches without a win for Thun

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

Marco Bürki signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Marco Bürki commits to Thun for another 2 years.

Thun sign Ugo Dalla Riva, one for the future

Ugo Dalla Riva is 19, and Thun have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad

Genís Montolio gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Nicolas Bürgy is off the mark for Thun

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Somebody is after Niklas Steffen’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Niklas Steffen suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Thun have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market

The window shut and Justin Roth is still in the building

Thun spent a month trying to move him and nobody rang back. He trains with a squad that has told him where he stands, and both sides start counting down to the next one.
