Enjoyed the first 35 minutes. We looked energetic and knocked the ball around well. But for an abysmal ref, we could have been one up when Matha was clean through only to be called back for a free kick to us! Unbelievable!

Yet again, the second half saw us struggle to get a foot on the ball which was largely due to the Stockport manager's ability to change the game with good substitutions. MH does not have the same luxury.

Three notable mentions. Gore had a fabulous game. Dawson is woefully short of what we need from our keeper. His ineffectual slap at a ball,that was easier to catch gifted them their goal. Between Dawson and Warrington, there must be at least one brain cell that tells them that the ball comes back everytime it's hoofed long. And finally Hughill - possibly his worst performance for us and unworthy of my time in descrbing why!

It's going to be a struggle until our injuries clear up.
