Federico Sardella: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Accrington Stanley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Tempers go at Accrington Stanley
Isaac Heath 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.

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Accrington Stanley know it.

In brief

- The dugout Josh Smith gets it from the manager
- Player ratings Zack Nelson was unplayable
