Squad30 Oct 2028
A fracture rules Matt Phillips out for 75 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Stevenage will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match25 Oct 2028
The cup run ends for Stevenage
0‑3 against Bournemouth, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
The terraces30 Oct 2028
A cup hiding at Bournemouth leaves Stevenage explaining themselves
0-3, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

No end in sight to Stevenage's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Stevenage has to find a result from somewhere.

Words at Stevenage training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yang Min-Hyeok is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
The dugout30 Oct 2028
The manager makes an example of Robertino Giacomini
“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.

Cheltenham Town snatch it back from Stevenage
A goal on 94 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.
Boardroom30 Oct 2028
Nobody left the Stevenage dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
Player ratings30 Oct 2028
Nobody could get near Yang Min-Hyeok
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
