Title: Stockport Away match thread
Post by: Alty Dave on December 31, 2020, 10:19:51 AM
First question, do we think game will be on?

My thought is it will be off for a frozen pitch unless they have covers?

Another tough test, no Kosylo I guess due to amassing 5 yellows. At least players had a rest until Saturday.

Temperatures look OK for tomorrow. Depends how much snow has fallen. There wasn't much around in Stockport yesterday

Agree with the 11, think Malarkey might well make bench.

Very few games get postponed at EP.

Stockport 2-1 Alty (Mooney)

That is certainly our best available 11. This is a game when we really could have done with Sutton and White at the back.

If Kosylo is banned, then i think the team will be...

TT
Senior
Holgate
Hannigan
Connor

Moult
Smith

Ceesay
Hancock
Colclough

Peers

Subs: Dens, Hall, Richman, Mooney, Blyth...

I'd still prefer a more complete starting striker than Peers, but Parky favours him & he does a job for the team...

I predict another 1-1 draw (Hancock)...

COYR!

This team would certainly get my vote. Their pitch looked very good on the video of their game vs Wrexham I saw so that’s going to help our passing game. They had an awful lot of the ball at ours but did little with it, we can’t rely on that again so we’ll need big performances from Moult & Smith to give our attacking players the platform. I’d be delighted with another draw and note Weymouth have won their this season so it’s doable, tall order though.

All credit to County. They have cleared the snow and put the frost covers on overnight

Thanks to TT and that offside flag we are still in it, barely laid a glove on them in that half, the postive to only be 1-0 down at HT.
Title: Re: Stockport Away match thread
Post by: Alty Bri on January 02, 2021, 04:06:12 PM
I think we're doing well to stay within touch of them; they are an excellent team. I also don't think they would have scored had it been White at lb.
Title: Re: Stockport Away match thread
Post by: Alty Bri on January 02, 2021, 04:59:03 PM
Wow! We didn't look part time in the second half. Smith was the best player on the pitch in the end.
Title: Re: Stockport Away match thread
Post by: oneedham on January 02, 2021, 05:04:43 PM
We were so slow first half.

Blyth was poor and the correct sub to get Hanks on the pitch at HT. Need to stop thinking we need a big lump up top, we aren't that team and play much better on the floor.

Different team with Hancock as number 10.

Let's give Ceesay a few games up top.

Smith was immense.

Great second half and nearly nicked it.

What a fantastic game.. fair result against a very decent team. I’m confident we can stay in this league..
My only gripe was switch Mooney and Ceesay over the opposite sides then they can get more balls in the box.

Superb watch and the Port commentators were decent...

Onwards and upwards....

To Match a very good Stockport side over 2 games in the national league is immense. Well done lads. Shows how far we’ve come when we’re consistently picking up results against anyone in this league. The last 4-5 times we’ve been in this division games like this were almost a write off

very enjoyable game. much better 2nd half with ceesay up top.

smith mom again

mooney was poor, saw nothing in blythe and peers is burgling a wage

Post by: jhcorbett on January 02, 2021, 05:56:34 PM
Very entertaining second half in particular.

Great credit to Parky, Sorvs and the lads against one of the favourites for promotion.
Tony T kept us in it first half, but you could also say Hinchcliffe saved a point for county at the end.
We looked very threatening on the break and down the wings, plus with injured players coming back have very good attacking options from the bench now. Still work in progress getting the centre forward position nailed down. Good to see Sutton and Mullarkey back.

Have to say the stream co commentator (Whelan?) saying at the start that they provide the most professional commentary in the league was setting himself up for a hell of a fall. Seconds later he was saying Phil Parkinson used to play for Alty (if you don't know, don't just make stuff up).
Later saying Ceesay has no left foot (the same left foot that was good enough to score against county a week ago), and then Ceesay promptly crosses with his left foot seconds later....

Well done to the lads though, second half in particular we played some decent stuff

Blyth no worse than others we've tried up top, none of whom are any better than Peers (who would have given us 3 points but for Hinchliffe's top drawer block). Do we think Fylde might cut their losses on Hulme and sell him back at a loss ?
Title: Re: Stockport Away match thread
Post by: robininstockport on January 02, 2021, 06:08:36 PM
Id keep macdonald as he seems to be a bit of a goal poacher. The rest id bin off.

Although it looked a decent save peers really should have scored imho.
Title: Re: Stockport Away match thread
Post by: cheshire cat on January 02, 2021, 06:12:30 PM
I don't think getting Hulme back would work out. He was demotivated when Salford binned him. He'd be worse if he's had two attempts at full time and it didn't fulfill his dream.

We'd all have Jordan back but his wages might be problematic.

Could only see it happening on loan otherwise he would be taking a big pay cut  to go part time again.

A Lazarus-like recovery there after an extremely substandard first-half performance which followed the template of our recent dispiriting sequence of surrenders at Edgeley Park.

Mooney was woefully ineffective and I'm afraid that Blyth exhibited all the mobility of a wounded elk. We were so much better in the second half when those two were replaced and Hancock began to have a positive impact on the game.

I thought that Smith was our standout performer although Thompson definitely merits a mention for keeping us in the game during the opening 30 minutes.

What is doubly encouraging is that we are certainly not being found wanting in terms of fitness and there is clearly a strong sense of belief in the squad that we are capable of bouncing back from a two-goal deficit.

I obsessively monitor Fylde, Chester and Wrexham results every week for Hulme, Johnston and Durrell goals, and there never are any.

A lot of good points in the earlier comments,

The commentary was pretty good in general, although Whelan said some stupid things, as was  also mentioned on the Stockport County yellow board.

The subs worked very well, especially Josh Hancock; on the other hand, I think Jacob Blyth is probably best off concentrating on  organising his wedding in the future. Special praise must also go to Tony Thompson who kept us in the game when we were really under the cosh in the first 20 minutes, but, once again, we finished so strongly against a full-time club who are one of the very best teams in the league in a really enjoyable match.

Yep, great summary. Hancock starting on the bench perhaps gave him a bit of a kick up the backside, as he was superb once he got on. I do hope we can do something with Alistair Smith too, he’s been a real asset to the team these last two months. Stockport losing two of their star men to injury at HT obviously helped us but I was surprised at how badly they faded in the second half. Just hope the weather allows us to get a few home games on now, they look winnable and a chance to solidify a top half push.

Top half would be well above my start of season expectations but these lads fight to the finish and never know when they're beaten.
They continue to amaze me.
I just wanted to say how proud I am of the whole team and squad (just in case any of them read this on here)

I agree entirely with this post Saughall Robin. The team spirit in this club and everything else at present makes me very excited for the future of this club. Plus, they made their commentators eat their words on the stream, great to hear!

It was same old yesterday. Humiliation at the hands of Stockport. Except no one told the players and they just took the setbacks in their stride. Good result in the end. Let's hope we can get the next few home games on and consolidate our position at the right end of the table.

What it doesn't show is the incident where Alty could/should have scored right at the end to win. Unfortunate for their keeper as he made a tremendous save which deserves to be seen again.

Also at the start there's a Connor Hampson flying tackle this missed the man fortunately otherwise he might have had an early bath.
