    We do this a lot. There's times to be on the front foot and take a chance and there are times to take a breath.

    Two blatant pushes and another clear handball. The referee is having a shocker now!

    Largest ever midweek crowd in (League 2 according to the Sky commentator) League One!

    Think Evans has had a very decent game.

    Always seems to be in the right position to break things up.

    He's messed up a couple of passes but I'm not sure we could expect someone who does everything right.

    If we ignore some of Evans' passing, he's done well in the middle of the park tonight.

    That's a huge win.

    Great character shown tonight.

    A massive win in the context of how the league looks. It's been a bumpy few weeks, but Stockport are a very good team and we've found a way to beat them.

    Well done City.

    Jackson was as about as effective as Wheatley! Some of those headless dives were comical.
    That said, I thought the whole team worked hard to a man. A proper ground out win.

    Like tigers, to a man. Everyone put a shift in and fought. A mixture of scrappy, frenetic and quality moments on the ball, but off the ball we were superb throughout

    I’d say this is a better win than on Saturday. Stockport are no mugs and will be up there at the end of the season

    He is better than Wheatley. At least he stretches the game and does the dirty work to make the ball stick

    The game was quite meh in my opinion.

    Quite alot of poor touches and fall over tactics. 3 points a good result against a higher up team.

    Tilt should of got Motm he was a rock.

    Sarcies goal was a great finish.

    Dropping to 1 front man with Wheatley being the target man is poor get a stricker in front of him it might reap more rewards.

    I’ll tell you what he caused three times as many problems for County as Wheatley . Horses for courses!

    Great battling win against one of the best in the division, I remember when they played Charlton in the playoffs and everyone was waxing lyrical about them and how far we had to improve to close the gap. Well there we are it’s taken 9 months.

    Evans look ok as Power’s replacement?

    Metcalfe do ok?
