Liam Gibbs due for a Stevenage medical
Everything agreed with Norwich City, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

No thanks: Jay Robinson rejects the move
Stevenage had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Southampton, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

1 academy graduates step up at Stevenage
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Stevenage rebuffed over Abdoul Ouattara
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ipswich Town have kept their man, and Stevenage go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Stevenage promote Mark Scott from within

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Nobody could get near Jordan Roberts
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Costly mistake from Tommy Setford
An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Tommy Setford knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Steven Roberts answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
In brief
- Squad 5 new faces, and Stevenage are still learning each other
- Boardroom No investment in the facilities at Stevenage
- The dugout Jasper Pattenden gets it from the manager
