Stockport brought Seceveric(?) on to man mark him but he got nowhere near him. He is what I imagine a young Michael Doyle would have been like, I hope IB keeps him in that deeper role from now on. He has been good all year but today he was superb….he’s so unassuming too, but we’d sure as hell notice it if he wasn’t playing.

As for Stockport, I’d be a bit worried if I was a fan. Lots of money spent but one of the poorest teams I have seen at the lane so far….or did we just play sooo much better…or a bit of both? I think KC alluded to it on the match thread but they reminded me of us from a few years ago, big names but no cohesion.
