Marked for Jay Mingi

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad12 Oct 2026

Joseph Olowu signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joseph Olowu commits to Stockport County for another 4 years.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Jay Mingi has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Stockport County

Joseph Olowu 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Stockport County

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lewis Bate was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Joseph Olowu

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

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

A reunion for Kyle Wootton

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Lincoln City in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Benoný Breki Andrésson plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes Ben Osborn a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Stockport County. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Lewis Bate question follows Stockport County around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Lewis Bate’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market7 Sep 2026

Kyle Wootton hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Stockport County can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Adrian Segecic stays at Portsmouth as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Stockport County will try again when the window opens; Portsmouth may not be selling by then.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 10 in, 3 out at Stockport County

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 10 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market7 Sep 2026

Doncaster Rovers come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Stockport County did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Stockport County go back to the board over Kacper Łopata

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $534.0K — a club that wants Kacper Łopata enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Too dear: Stockport County walk away from Kacper Łopata

$500.0K was the most the club would pay and Barnsley were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Door shut on Mohamed Touré

Stockport County asked and Norwich City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market7 Sep 2026

Talks stall between Stockport County and Adam Phillips

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Oliver Norwood

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Oliver Norwood has come out of that comparison in the side, and Stockport County have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
