There was some inevitability about today's Stockport win; as soon as I start using expressions like "sinking fast", and "accompanying them into the Blue Square Premier come May" they were always going to win, and to dent still further Oxford's play-off hopes into the bargain ...........
They left it late, mind; 90 + 4, apparently, when Greg Tansey (midfielder? 22? loaned out to Altrincham in 07/08 - remember?
) added a seventh goal to his season's tally with a 20 yard volley, four minutes after coming off the bench ........ Manager Peter Ward described it as "reward for the lads because they kept going right the way through"; bet he'd have had something to say if they hadn't!
Still last, behind Barnet (who pulled off a 0-0 at Rotherham) on goal difference (-40 plays -20), one point behind Burton (who have 6 games in hand) and 4 points behind Macclesfield (who have 4 games in hand); their position, you'd have to say, is still desperate .......... or worse! See you Tuesday for a good thumping!
