The knee: George Maris out for 33 days
33 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Cheltenham Town lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Caleb Wiley: 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.” Cheltenham Town have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Kyle Bartley in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cheltenham Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

It finished 2‑0, and it was Andreas Weimann’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Cheltenham Town.

Robert Harris steps up from the Cheltenham Town academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Robert Harris has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
