I find it difficult to understand some of the blame comments being levelled at certain players on here. Stockport have proved, again, that they have the measure of us. They have quality from 1-11 and know how to manage the play; I’d not be surprised were they to win the league and fair play should they manage to.
For our part, Hampson and Richman worked hard through 90, others found it harder. I do consider the level of criticism TT is getting to be unfair and while I appreciate there is a case for playing Wynne, bringing him in to face Stockport would have been a big ask. Mantack, on the other hand, looks out of his depth but I hope I’m proved wrong.
So onwards, smarting from a disappointing Xmas perhaps but, hopefully, a bit wiser too. Third place may have flattered us and fanned the flames of optimism, however, if we regain the form we’ve shown during much of the season so far, we have every right to consider ourselves worthy of the play-offs.
