Match Thread vs. Stockport County 15.12.20 [NL]

[MAD_MAGPIE]

A good hard working team win tonight. The performance was a professional one and once against a solid defensive performance with another clean sheet. The 1-0 win is what wins titles.

Whilst we haven’t created too much to note tonight we have been resolute and strong defensively and limited Stockport to scraps. The work rate was really high and the effort cannot be faulted.

These 1-0 wins will do just fine whilst we are awaiting for the likes of Roberts and Thomas to come back into the fold and give us some more firepower.

We really do have nobody to fear at this level and it’s good to get another win going into Christmas period.

Great result. The feeling is as much relief as joy, but I think we've pushed back one of our main competitors there and effectively recovered three of the silly points we lost previously.

Consistency's the key now. A team aspiring to take the title or at minimum a top three place needs runs of wins. It's no good beating the teams around us and then dropping points to the lowly sides.

Great result! COYP!

In a game like that, every player needs to put a shift in.
I think we did that tonight.
I’m not a big fan of JoB being in the team at the minute, but not a time to start moaning. Hard working performance and all did their jobs.
I agree with Swale as well. Enzios work rate was massive tonight, not a game for him to set it alight on the wings, but a game to get rid of the “can’t be arsed” comments.

People do realise Stockport only looked average because Notts had a gameplan, and it worked. You can't play champagne football every week. Every man did his job and not one of them shirked their responsibilities or didn't give it there all. That had the makings of another Barrow at home from last season and we did what was necessary. Well done Notts and well done to the manager, he got it spot on tonight and deserves credit for it.

Torquay lose at home to 10 men Dagenham.

9 points ahead but we have a game in hand and have to play them twice.

Great win tonight

[crazyfists]

Three more points on the board from an excellent 'team win'. Solid performances all round and I thought Enzio quietly worked his ******** off tonight.

COYP!

Agreed Enzio did alot of defensive work tonight. Good win and off to bed happy, night all.

"champagne football" ......Notts

Best signing of the Ardley era?

Yeah Connell's up there. Not so long ago we couldn't find a good centre-half anywhere and even had to drag Steady Eddy out of retirement. Rawlinson's a solid performer and certainly very good value for money, if we can assume his wages are not eye-watering.

Lacey has good ability too. Turner is beginning to show his age and seems prone to mistakes, but on his day you can still see flashes of what once saw him play at a high level.

Spot on.
