Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Habeeb Ogunneye falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

No hiding place for Luke Skinner
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luke Skinner, and the manager let it.
