Squad

Words exchanged at Stevenage

Pedro Álvaro and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

The step up is real for Finlay Gorman

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Player ratings

Chem Campbell runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Papus Ouattara wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Stevenage know it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Saxon Earley

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

Squad

Stevenage count the cost of losing Peter Edwards

18 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Simon Allen was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Stevenage dressing room was either.

Match

Stevenage and Sheffield United cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Sheffield United came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

The dugout

Jamie Reid knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Stevenage, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief

Squad

Oumar Camara 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.

Squad

Words at Stevenage training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Konstantinos Mavropanos 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.

Match

Stevenage find a way past Blackpool

Blackpool made Stevenage work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

Stevenage supporters have found a favourite in Michael Mellon

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Michael Mellon has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

At last: Stevenage win one

5 matches without a win, and then this, against Blackpool. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Player ratings

Robin Dzabić was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.17. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Stevenage count the cost of losing Peter Edwards

48 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings

Chem Campbell was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Oumar Camara's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
