Nobody could get near Tony Springett

Successful dribbles: 36. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match20 Mar 2028

Cheltenham Town are in real trouble now

Position 22, 26 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Emilio Lawrence 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.

Shaun McWilliams 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.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Emilio Lawrence is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.37 with 9 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Jonathan Cooper out for 24 days

The medical room confirms 24 days on the sidelines for Jonathan Cooper, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Jack Richardson breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Age has not caught Andreas Weimann yet — 8.10

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.10 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Cheltenham Town

Andreas Weimann was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Real improvement from Tom King at Cheltenham Town

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Tom King is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A late step up for Toby Savin

At 25 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.
