I actually agree.

Well lets hope the 'overdue' defeat happens tonight instead of Saturday then.

Stockport rock up on Saturday having lost every single away game. We are unbeaten at home. You just know Stockport will be really up for it on Saturday backed by over 2000 fans. Away win very much on the cards then

 

I don't think the Stockport Board agree with your last comment if last night's speculation comes true. Thre is a common belief in the Manchester suburb that they would / will skate promotion, echoed in the media pre season and so far it isn't happening. Barrow beat them on the first day and the Harrogate Chairman told me Saturday he thought Stockport were very average.
All this seems reflected in the fact that Challinor could well be sacked before Saturday as the view is he is not up to the higher standards from National League. If not sacked, clearly on borrowed time as they are already looking over their shoulders at potential relegation which, given what they are spending on the likes of Sarcevic and Madden is not good.
New Manager bounce anyone?

 

Form would suggest a home win but when has that ever been a perfect barometer for results? Like most of the games in our unbeaten run the result could have easily been different. Pretty much like 2013 when it was often Nahkis goals that made the difference, it's Andy Cook doing the same thing. If he gets injured then I might start to worry.

 

Sounds like if they dont win the manager will be sacked, and they've yet to even take a point away from home so far. Going to be one of them games where either they rally in the new 2 up top system and try go for it, or it will become obvious the players want a change and play within themselves once more. Seems like they have been very average at best.

May be some slight false positioning with Stockport, they have the goal records of the sides around 14th/15th but not had luck with the odd goals. Still, like to think we've got enough in us to put these lot away.

 

BL its going to happen but we are Bratfud mate. Go with the flow we have been superb for up to 10 minutes sometimes enjoy and chill.................

 

Talking of Adams, I see he is back to his old excuses of 'things going on behind the scenes that I can't talk about'. Always someone else's fault isn't it Derek?

Derek: “The last month has been terrible. The worst time for me as a manager. Some of the things I can’t say on camera that has happened, there’s a lot of inner-workings that have been very difficult. The players have shown how well they’ve coped with it.”

 

Good post VW but I'm not sure Mark will like being called a manger. Just like losing, winning becomes a habit.

 

Every win is a match closer to your next defeat. fact. However it wont be this Saturday. We are having this lot 4 zip

 

I'm far more relaxed about Salford than Stockport.

 

I'll give you the 3 promotions with 3 different clubs, but it's pushing it to suggest it was due to him that Morecambe stayed up last season.

 

And they picked up 12 points out of a possible 42 after his return. As I've said previously, they managed to stay up despite Adams, not because of him.

 

Hughes post match interview referring to us 'not being at our usual level'. I disagree, I thought it was our usual level. Bright in patches, sloppy and weak defensively for spells too. That's us in pretty much every game, and I'd sat the 'proof' is that Hughes seems to be referring to us 'not being at our usual level' quite often.

 

I'd say it's an indication that we're flaky defensively too. Crichlow in particular has no real interest I 'proper' defending.

 

Not sure about that we have come under real pressure defensively so far this season and in the main part come out on top

 

The majority of that is down to Lewis, in my opinion. He's been excellent. Platt has been pretty good but Crichlow has blown hot and cold. Fine in a foot race and decent on the ball. But poor when he's asked to defend his penalty box and we look weak defensively on the flanks too.

 

Totally agree with that. I'd also be interested in seeing us play with a 3 at the back again. Largely because it would allow us to get 2 strikers on the pitch and I think Oliver next to Cook, or even Harratt, could be a real threat.

 

Righty Ho……Still believe in the tooth fairy and Santa

 

He looked a little too eager, which is understandable. But I think there's real ability there. His mobility and directness could really add another dimension to our attacking play.
