Market14 Sep 2026

Louis Thompson 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 Stevenage can pretend not to have heard.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Stevenage

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Stevenage are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Jamie Reid ran the middle of the pitch — 6.62

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 16 combined actions and a mark of 6.62, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Stevenage

Hugo Magallanes 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.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

KV Mechelen tell Stevenage: Bouke Boersma is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match12 Sep 2026

Wigan Athletic take the points off Stevenage

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Freddie Woodman

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

Squad14 Sep 2026

Jack Taylor signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jack Taylor commits to Stevenage for another 4 years.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

John Clark answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Freddie Woodman stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Maeson King 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. Maeson King is living that version at Stevenage, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market24 Aug 2026

Carl Piergianni moves on

Norwich City pay $260.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Wrexham tell Stevenage: Dominic Hyam is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Stevenage

Kaelan Casey and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match18 Aug 2026

Bradford City take the points off Stevenage

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

8 new faces, and Stevenage are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Matt Phillips

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market24 Aug 2026

Stevenage sign Maeson King, one for the future

Maeson King is 20, and Stevenage have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Jamie Reid scores twice — 8.76

Two goals and a mark of 8.76 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Matt Phillips yet — 8.11

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.11 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market17 Aug 2026

Stevenage say no — this time

The offer from Luton Town for Carl Piergianni was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Stevenage rebuffed over Kian Spence

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Freddie Woodman

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Stevenage have done the hard part with Liverpool, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Stevenage and Doncaster Rovers in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match15 Aug 2026

Stevenage find a way past Doncaster Rovers

Doncaster Rovers made Stevenage work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Stevenage

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Chem Campbell

At 23 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Matt Phillips stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Matt Phillips and Stevenage agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Louis Thompson 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Stevenage try to borrow Ruairi McConville

Norwich City have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Nick Oyekunle is in the works

Stevenage have made the call to Southampton. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Stevenage give Jordan Houghton the armband

A decision that decides nothing on the pitch and everything in the room. The manager has said, without saying it, whose voice he wants heard when his own is not there.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Stevenage has picked up the phone to Jamie Reid

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Stevenage and Mathaeus Roberts

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

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Chem Campbell 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Dan Sweeney has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Stevenage that is a harder question to answer.

In brief
