Match Thread Stockport County vs Bradford City Tues 24 January @ 7.45pm

8 mins for cook

Serious questions need to be asked, and not taking the nonsense answer he doesn't want him getting his head down by going games without goals

Hes not scoring if he's sat on the bench

 

He may as well be honest and sell him. He's clearly not wanting to play him anymore

 

A good point but wasn't impressed by either team. Both sides could have played till next week and not scored.

 

Defended very well tonight - platt and crichlow were both very good.

bola looked ok, but didn’t really attack much.
Plenty of 6s and 7s out of 10. Never looked like scoring - fans were so quiet and players did little to get them excited.

all that said, tough place to go so its not a bad point.

 

They did at least look threatening from Corners.

 

Lots if ref's, would have given that as a penalty. Touch on the player no matter how light, in the penalty box, in The Premiership nearly always equals one.

 

Fook going on about a cracking point with one shot on goal and our only corner ending up in midfield ........ oh done one ffs .....this is the norm with this lot ........... you would think we have suddenly changed our approach to games because it’s a team in form .......... no it’s the same shite served up for the majority of the season ..........

 

playing like that we have no chance of going up this season and certainly dont deserve to even get in the play offs

 

That’s five successive away games in league and Salford in the cup with no goals scored. Leaving out Cook working well.

 

It's a good result. Now we need to move on and get three points against Mansfield.

This season is infinitely better than the last five. At least we'll be in the promotion race come February

 

Thought the referee put in the best performance tonight

Difficult game for us, zero time on the ball, but at least we didn't balls it up and gift them a winner.

Not bad.

NEXT!

 

Bola gave the ball away all the time, bringing Darbyshire on before cook ridiculous.

 

Boy that was mega poor.

That midfield isn’t going to work. Hughes has to drop Smallwood if he wants to play Clayton as the DM.

 

If we finish in the top 7, where we have been nearly all season, then we will have deserved it.

However, we do look a long way off being a promotion side.

 

Is Cook on the way out or did Hughes find his secret burger stash again ?

 

We played exactly like Stevenage would have done so.

What did you want us to do? Open ourselves up to the divisions most on form team.

It's League. Attritional footie is the most important part of getting promoted.

And let's remember all out chief creative players were out, i.e. Banks, Chapman and Walker

 

Can't see any other reason he's not getting game time other than to stop him getting injured

 

Don't know about the lads on the bench wanting shipping out what did Oliver, Bola or Costelloe offer tonight, on that showing Bola offers no more than Foulds did.

 

Yet you still watch/listen to games week on week. No one is forcing you to endure this mate. Give it up if it winds you up so much.

 

Ain't gonna lie I was bored shitless for 90 minutes. I thought they were there for the taking, I've seen better sides than that this season .
