The Stevenage Post
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Stevenage close the window on a squad of their own making
11 in and 8 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Liam Gibbs 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.

Words at Stevenage training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hugo Magallanes 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.

A long bet from Stevenage on Aimar Govea
He is 20, and nobody at Stevenage signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Matt Phillips makes the team of the month
Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Talks stall between Stevenage and Aimar Govea
“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.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
Michael Mellon 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.
