Squad14 Sep 2026
Mark Howard stands alone
8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Match12 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Salford City's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Salford City has to find a result from somewhere.

Door shut on Kaide Gordon
Salford City asked and Liverpool said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Kadeem Harris
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kadeem Harris, and the manager let it.

Nobody could get near Fabio Borini
Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad14 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Salford City
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Fabio Borini was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

A falling-out at Salford City
Kai Enslin and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager has not finished forgetting Alfie Dorrington's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The form table has caught Daniel Udoh
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.
In brief
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
- Squad No place for Kai Enslin in the new shape
- Match Salford City and Swindon Town cancel each other out
