Doh!

it's got to be you mate!
Gary, is a friendly guy. And I have had some good passing chats with him.;)
:)
You may be right! I’ve never met the guy, though he is here today. It’s more a perception based what others told me and his lack of fan recognition at away games.
Norwood and Green in the starting xi Hogan banned and Tollitt doesn’t make the bench.

Interesting line up starting Apter. On form or because Morris not fully fit I wonder. Both Norrises on the bench, perhaps Luke will get a quick cameo.

Well the game has now settled down and its pretty much all County. Rovers are working hard but to no effect. We are surrending possession, County are pressing us particularly down the right with Bailey causing problems. Mostly chasing shadows and sitting too deep. If this continues, County will score again. Rovers no shots on target yet.

Given we've got so many in midfield, it's so frustrating to see County passing it around for 5 mins - albeit all in front of us. Then one of their guys decides to make 10 yards and just sides past Walker amongst others, without anybody laying a glove on him.

HT: 1-0

Well the good news is that it's only 1-0. However, it's all just too easy for Stockport. They've had nothing to do in defence and the keeper is a mere spectator. Not sure what the gameplan is here now that we are 1-0 behind. Apter has had a few runs and looks the only one willing to drive forward with it.

Dennis and Saunders no effect, Lewis and Walker look a little lost in midfield and the defence have been pretty busy keeping Stockport at bay. We need more creativity on to cause them problems.

Currently in the bottom two, FGR winning 2-1. Sutton are also winning 1-0.

442 in prep for Norris? Otherwise just a waste of a man. County are in cruise control and the second will come

To make things worse Forest Green and Sutton both lead at half time, we cannot rely on others to keep dropping points we need to help ourselves which we clearly are not.

Obviously but today isn't a realistic starting point. Give Klopp etc a month with our lot and they wouldn't be competitive with table toppers. Stockport look a grade up on Crewe and they had too much.
Has to get Norris on even if he has to sub him again ten to go, the only way this 442 will work. Saunders off Jenno out wide

To be fair, if we can keep it tight and prevent a second, get a bit of luck (ha!) Get a chance, in injury time, stick it away and a draw!
The result will be far more important than performance.
If only!
Saunders is off!

Damn

Saunders off. Two yellows. Stupid tackle. Ahh well, we'll be firmly planted in our half now.

Terrible discipline again, Saunders wouldn’t get in a national league north side.

Nearly three. Hit the woodwork twice, cleared of the line..
This could get to 4 or 5.

I've stopped watching. And doing the washing!

Was expected but still hurts!
