This Saturday is the short trip to Edgeley Park to take on Dave Challinor’s hatters who after a very strong recent run of form, have faltered slightly. Clint Hill also on the books as their assistant manager.
Stockport’s last 6 games sees 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, but only 5 goals scored. Strikers Wootton and Madden do have a goal in them but they are struggling a bit. A Stockport mate of mine went to Crewe last night for their 1-1 draw and said “Reckon you have a good chance on Saturday after another poor performance last night. Scrapped a 1-1 draw but awful again very disjointed and lacking confidence”.
Niall Byrne has done ok and started their last 3 games however other ex-rovers Connor Jennings and Calum McDonald both left the hosts this week.
Given their form and our confidence boosting win v Orient, there is a real chance we could pick up three points.
As for rovers selection, Micky has some real options now to consider but after the Orient win it would not surprise me if we stick with the same starting eleven. The gaffer will have his hands full keeping the likes of Walker, Chalmers and Hendry happy, along with the Newcastle youngster. That said we do have a busy month so I’m sure all will be needed.
Prediction: it was a 0-0 draw at PP a few months ago and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same result. That said, I was convinced it would be goalless v Orient and we scored a (deserved), late goal. Let’s hope for more of the same. If we get the first goal the home fans may turn a bit and it could be an enjoyable afternoon. I’ll be one of many SWA in the uncovered away end but the forecast looks dry at the moment.
