Stockport County Post Match Thoughts

[flourbasher]

£80k or so for winners of the next match so Tony’s grandkids are probably hoping for a lower div team at home

I only heard a radio commentary so hard to judge but we seemed a shadow of the side that dismantled Sunderland and taught Ipswich a lesson. Ok, they came at it like we did at Everton, but we really sounded like we were at sixes and sevens for a lot of the game. I hope we can get back to the side that we were when Gillingham come to town. We win with a rampant midfield taking possession and feeding a forward line hungry for goals. Neither seemed in abundance in this match.

Stockport’s support were phenomenal. It sounded like we were at an away match a long way from Rotherham playing a well supported major city team…

Nail on the head CT.
Good assessment of last night's game.

I'm interested to hear from the fans who've been tonight to put a true reflection on things because I'm wondering whether it was down to us not being at our best or was it that Stockport were so good. I saw them play Bolton in the last round and they were on top right up to the last minute and it sounds like a similar showing tonight.

It was a bit of both Nez.
Certainly not firing on all cylinders, very little composure in midfield, and Stockport wing backs had a good game.
Can't grumble too much a win is a win, 18 consecutive in all competitions isn't it ?

£20k for beating Port Vale and £34k for winning last night, every penny counts.
Grandson want's Manchester United in next round, I'm not too fussed who we draw, we can give anyone a game atm.

We were on the bbc news this morning.
Mike Bushell reminding everyone that we are top of league one.
I think Naga Munchetti looked quite impressed

A very close game that could have gone either way.
Stockport were sharp from the off giving us no time on the ball, and we did resort to the long ball a bit too much.
I actually thought Freddie had a good game so did Ollie and Miller,as others have said, the ref was far too quick with his whistle and the yellow cards.
Another win against tricky apposition well done Millers.

Always gonna be a tricky one this one. Big vocal backing and nowt to lose and a decent non league team. Remind me if an earlier Warne team in style but think we have developed a bit since. At times we showed a bit of extra class one bit being the goal but the rest of the time some of the players particularly in midfield didnt seem up for the battle. Our defence was sound tho and apart from a couple of scares they never really looked like scoring. Impressed with Vickers safe handling all game not least with their last free kick. How long is it since we have had 2 such good goalies on our books and all ours as well.

That roly is a compressed version of exactly how I saw it too. UTM
