From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Hugo Fisher: 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.” Salford City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Salford City close the window on a squad of their own making

23 in and 14 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Salford City baulk at the price for Taye Ashby-Hammond

Stevenage wanted more than $500.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Real improvement from Benji Casey at Salford City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Benji Casey is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets

Peterborough United tell Salford City: Abraham Rodriguez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

A row about effort at Salford City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Antonio Bareiro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Bruno Padovoni for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Salford City will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

A falling-out at Salford City

Benji Casey and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

No place for Daniel Chesters in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Daniel Chesters has his answer from Salford City; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

In brief
