Squad28 Sep 2026

Tom Bradshaw 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Chesterfield take the points off Cheltenham Town

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Cameron Norman 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Cheltenham Town

Tom Bradshaw 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

3 matches without a goal for Cheltenham Town

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match5 Sep 2026

Cheltenham Town come up short against Notts County

Notts County left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Shamal George

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Chinonso Chibueze stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Chinonso Chibueze and Cheltenham Town agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market7 Sep 2026

Cheltenham Town and Shamal George are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Jordan Thomas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Ben Stevenson 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.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Bade Aluko

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Cheltenham Town

20 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Bade Aluko stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.45 on the card, and the Cheltenham Town support went home talking about one name.

Market31 Aug 2026

A long bet from Cheltenham Town on Chinonso Chibueze

He is 20, and nobody at Cheltenham Town signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Chinonso Chibueze signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Chinonso Chibueze and Cheltenham Town agree another 4 years.

Match29 Aug 2026

No goals between Cheltenham Town and Shrewsbury Town

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Shrewsbury Town will be the happier side with the point.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Tom Bradshaw yet — 8.20

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.20 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tom Bradshaw in a row with a teammate

Match15 Aug 2026

Tom Bradshaw the difference as Cheltenham Town beat Accrington Stanley

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Tom Bradshaw. 1‑0 against Accrington Stanley, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Luke Young 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Theo Vassell gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Shamal George has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Cheltenham Town know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Fábio Tavares runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

Cheltenham Town buy the years ahead of Luke Campbell

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market17 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Cheltenham Town and Cameron Norman

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Cheltenham Town, another week without a signature from Cameron Norman.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Harry Forster would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Harry Forster is living that version at Cheltenham Town, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tom Bradshaw stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tom Bradshaw and Cheltenham Town agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market10 Aug 2026

Jordan Thomas comes home

The shirt still fits. Jordan Thomas is back at Cheltenham Town, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.
