Squad

A fracture rules Svante Ingelsson out for 51 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sheffield Wednesday will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

No end in sight to Sheffield Wednesday's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Sheffield Wednesday has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Javier Cano puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sheffield Wednesday, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Marcus Edwards stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcus Edwards and Sheffield Wednesday agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Only the photograph left for Layton Campbell

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Layton Campbell will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Sheffield Wednesday the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Arnaud Kalimuendo 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 Sheffield Wednesday this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Di'Shon Bernard 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.

Market

Norwich City expected to open talks for Dennis Bossman

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Sheffield Wednesday will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Player ratings

Joseph Hungbo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief

Back issues

The Wrexham Courier

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Danny Imray damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Wrexham

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Wrexham is running low.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Davis Keillor-Dunn yet — 7.98

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.98 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Gustavo Sá 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 Wrexham this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

George Thomason stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” George Thomason and Wrexham agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Ignacio Lago at his very best

Marked 8.45. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Wrexham.

Squad

Ignacio Lago is carrying Wrexham

8 goals and a season average of 7.31. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match

Honours even between Wrexham and Cardiff City

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market

The Gustavo Sá question follows Wrexham around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Gustavo Sá’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief

  • Boardroom $11.8M taken back off the Wrexham table
  • Market Javier Cano is free to find somewhere else
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Gustavo Sá
