From our football correspondent Triumph

Player ratings

Chem Campbell runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Stevenage turn down Cardiff City for Filip Marschall

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Jordan Roberts moves on

Port Vale pay $910.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Jamie Reid 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 Stevenage this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Stevenage find a way past Doncaster Rovers

Doncaster Rovers made Stevenage work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Words at Stevenage training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Phoenix Patterson 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Dan Kemp

Marked 8.03 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Stevenage

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

No hiding place for Lewis Freestone

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lewis Freestone, and the manager let it.

In brief
