A knee injury of the worst kind for Daniel Udoh
110 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Salford City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The run at home goes on for Salford City
20 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Christian Nwachukwu runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Still nobody has beaten Salford City
The unbeaten run reaches 15. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Salford City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Christian Nwachukwu is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Ben Osborn 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 Salford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

As if he never left: Stephen Price returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Stephen Price is a Salford City player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Nathan Moore comes home
The shirt still fits. Nathan Moore is back at Salford City, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.
In brief
- Market Christopher Murphy is a Salford City player again
- Market Andrew Graham is a Salford City player again
- Match Point won or two lost for Salford City?
