The manager makes an example of Nime Sacko
“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.

Harrogate Town are still strangers to each other
11 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Sam Waller asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Nobody could get near Jack Evans
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
