Squad

Fabio Borini damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

No end in sight to Salford City's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Salford City has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Words at Salford City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dru Yearwood is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Salford City cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kadeem Harris

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Luke Garbutt was the difference for Salford City

Marked 7.36. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Salford City pick somebody else ahead of Kallum Cesay

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Salford City and Swindon Town cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Swindon Town came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Yannick Häringer asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Fabio Borini

43 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jorge Grant

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Salford City against Milton Keynes Dons

0‑1 to Milton Keynes Dons, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Jorge Grant signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jorge Grant and Salford City agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Salford City

Mark Howard 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.

Market

Talks stall between Salford City and Kadeem Harris

“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.

Market

Nobody at Salford City has picked up the phone to Jorge Grant

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

Squad

Words at Salford City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matt Butcher is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Michael Rose asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
