Harley Windsor damages knee ligaments — 20 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 20 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.

Robert James could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.82
Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.82, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Stockport County leave it late against Gillingham
Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 87th, and Gillingham spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Benoný Breki Andrésson, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.77
A mark of 7.77 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The crowd has taken to Benoný Breki Andrésson
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Malik Mothersille runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Corey Addai gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
