⚽Match thread v Stockport County FC 22.12.23 [EFL L2]

Last nights performance was a great improvement, playing Langstaff deeper worked really well however i think Stockport adopted the wrong tactics against us. I was very surprised that They didn't press our defenders or midfield as they surely know we struggle against that. This is why we were allowed to play with more patience and find more space. It will be interesting to see if we can play with the same confidence and positivity when we are being constantly pressed and being marked man to man

Neither do I but he does need to calm down a bit, he reminds me of Mr Angry on the Steve Wright in the Afternoon radio show.

Ohh that eastcoastultra makes me so angry, so angry I could throw the phone down!!

They did press us from the start but we forced them back because we did it so effectively.
The second half they sat back and gave us half the pitch.

I think what gets peoples backs up on here with him is he only posts on here when Notts get beat, he posted nothing when Notts won the play offs last season and nothing when we were top of the table.

Strange highlights them. Doesn't show our disallowed goal or the other decent chance we had.

Anyway, I was at the game. Thought a draw would have been a fair result and reflection of the chances created by both sides. Maybe a win for us if all the decisions had gone our way.

I'm definitely feeling a bit more positive about the next few games. It's Tranmere away that worries me slightly though.

Listening to Stockport's manager and seeing the comments of many of the Stockport fans, they are hugely complimentary about the way Notts played, describing us as undoubtedly the best they've faced this season. Of course, it's easier to be magnanimous if you've walked off with the three points, but I think the comments are genuine.

We are, in effect, where Stockport were last season. We know we are good enough to be more than competitive at this higher level, but now it's a case of taking everything that is (widely acknowledged as) good about our game and building upon it by ironing out the weaknesses (defensively). This certainly isn't the time to be changing everything just because of a few adverse results, any more than our good results up to October were reason to conclude we were unstoppable. It's a learning process, and taking things in the round, we're doing fine for the stage we're at.
