Re: Stockport Thread
 

Heard unconfirmed reports stating that Ray Matthias is taking over as Stocky manager until the end of the season. Tomorrow could be fun; a little 'trip' down memory lane. Hope Leam's on the bench :)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Well done again Dan. In an otherwise frustrating period off the pitch, the interviews with Coley et al and the more in depth pre match build ups and post match reaction have really enhanced the matchday experience and allowed the fans to hear what's going on at a more personal level. :)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Hessey will have to do a good job on Elding - he always seems to score against us.

Re: Stockport Thread

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Evening Sparkie. Nice and warm I hope, unlike some of us..

Re: Stockport Thread
 

5: Stockport now building pressure. Dangerous low cross but leads to nothing.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Toastie Callum, thanks!!! I gave Emily the optio to be at the game tonight but seeing as she is fast aslepp in bed already, I think we made the right decision!!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Evening Callum i'm here too. Good start??

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Half chance a piece at the minute. Nothing to write home about.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Hows the pitch looking?

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Gills 1 up already :-(

against southend tho so not too bad

Burton beating Lincoln

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Well as I write it looks like Terry Gornell is taking a walk on Blackpool beach. It's dry atleast!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

15: Ryan thread through and curls just wide, but lino's flag was raised on the far side.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

which way we kicking Callum - helps to visualise

Re: Stockport Thread
 

19: Ball over the top sticks in surface and sits up for Craney nicely, but dink over keeper just wide.

Next effort Ryan into keepers hands.

Come on Stanley!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Shooting towards the Clayton End as Ryan stands over a free kick 25 yards out and shoots a yard over.

23: Sub Stockport, Rose off, Poole on. Injury sustained 5 mins ago and can't carry on.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

25: Gornell shot rifles into side netting. Must taken a deflection as referee awards a corner. Stanley building pressure. Free kick 25 yards out again, identical to last one..

Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!

1-0 Stanley

Re: Stockport Thread
 

get in sean hessey

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Sean Hessey steps up this time and rifles a low shot into the bottom right hand corner!

Come on!!!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Good going Lads ! Lets have some more ! :D

Re: Stockport Thread

Re: Stockport Thread

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Stanley penalty.......

Re: Stockport Thread
 

35: Goallllll Edwards!

Smashed it into the roof of the net from 12 yards.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Get in there 2-0 !!!! Go on the lads !! :D

Re: Stockport Thread
 

is that 9 for sun beds this season 8 from the spot

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Well done Phil!! how did the pen come about Callum?

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Don't think we have been out of Stockport half for a good 10 minutes. Keeping pressure on, lets have another!

Stoppage in play, worry as Ryan down injured.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Yes indeed, 9 goals, 8 from the penalty spot.

And sorry was busy updating twitter! Penalty was handball by Aaron Brown, he went up to head the ball but got confused as to what was his head and what was his hand.

ANOTHER penalty to Stanley. Gornell nips the ball past Brown who trips him up. Yellow card.

GOALLLLLLLL, Edwards this time to the keepers left.

3-0!!!!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

get in there!!!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

good onya phil....hat-trick now?

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Excellent play Lads !!!! More of the same, after last week-end this is unbelievable. :)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Just a note to say Ryan is back on and he is looking fine.

The rain is now falling, as McConville is through again but the flag is raised for offside.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

listening on radio and apparently aaron brown is having an absolute mare. congrats to phil on hitting double figs

Re: Stockport Thread
 

44: Teasing Jacobson cross gets a flick off a defender. Ball drops JUST wide of the post. Nothing comes from the corner.

4 added minutes.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

well after conceding both penalties I would have to agree that Brown is having a mare!

Another chance for McConville, scuffed shot dragged wide.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

crewe gone behind to macc

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Well done lads, keep them coming...

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Well, well 3-0 going in at half time, great performance from the lads & I'd quite like it to double in the second, please. :)

Although that'd totally wreck my prediction, but what the Hell !

Re: Stockport Thread
 

and the half time whistle goes. Stanley 3-0 Stockport

Re: Stockport Thread
 

when was the last time we were 3 up at half time

Re: Stockport Thread
 

surely Stockport have to go for it - ideal opo for any Stanley quick player to counter & improve our goal diff.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Two threads on Stockport's message board:

"I sacrificed pancakes for this" and
"You can see us visibly dying on the pitch!!!"

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Without checking, off the top of my head I'd guess when we beat Bournemouth 3-0 at home an Rostyn Griffiths bagged a screamer. During Terry's original loan spell I believe. :)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Teams are back out and the second half is underway.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Listening to the local Stockport radio presenter at half time. He must have read a good 20 emails out and not one was positive.

the rain is coming down even more.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

There's some speculation on the Stockport boards that Peter Ward has walked out as manager despite being at the match tonight. Nobody on there really knows what's happening.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

50: Stockport test Cisak for the first time tonight, but it was an easy save for the Stanley keeper.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

All I know from listening in on the Stockport commentator is that the board has upset the managerial team. They are here to show support for the owner and coach Ray Mattius has stepped in as manager for the game (or thats how it appears on the team sheet)

I have to say though that nobody really has a clue! not even the Stockport crew.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Stanley still with all the pressure. Not much eye-pleasing football but it's doing the job.

I have just been handed a warm pie, so i'm happy!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Saying that Stockport have a corner. It falls to the feet of Brown for an age but is finally cleared.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

when you've scoffed the pie, how about counting the crowd Callum ?

Re: Stockport Thread
 

What flavour ? :)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

A lot of play in the middle of the field and no real chances. As the rain comes down even more the pitch is beginning to look very wet on top.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

It is meat and potato Dave and it is currently on my lap keeping very warm!

No official crowd yet. The ultras are loud and a relatively large Stockport following are silent.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Good, good, don't let them cheapskates palm you off with one with no meat in it ! :D

Re: Stockport Thread
 

66: Stockport sub. Elding off, Fisher on.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

I agree - a pie without meat is not really a pie

Re: Stockport Thread
 

68: McConville corner. Three heads go up but the referee spots a foul

Next attack Ryan attacks down the right, bundled over but referee only gives another corner.

Attendance: 1831 (I'm guessing a fair few Stockport fans included in that)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

crowd 1831

Re: Stockport Thread
 

70: Stockport chance. Tansey with a charging run, shoots from 18 yards but drags his shot wide.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

apparently smallest gate stockport have played in front of this season. i think they can look forward to some much lower ones next season in the conference

Re: Stockport Thread
 

72: free kick to Stanley just outside the 18 yard box, right hand side

Re: Stockport Thread
 

McConville curling right foot shot. Two feet over.

Subs: Craney and Ryan off. Putterill and Lindfield on.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

It's turned into a training session here at the Crown. Not a great spectacle.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Bit quieter this half ?

Burton are doing Lincoln 3-0 too.

All change, Lincoln just got one back

Re: Stockport Thread
 

79: Gornell fouled to the side of the area by an advancing Stockport keeper. Nobody else around but because of the tight angle Ian McLoughlin gets away with a yellow card, correct decision.

Free kick is fired high, wide and not very handsome!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Hereford 1 up against Stevenage ! :D :D :D

Re: Stockport Thread
 

is the pitch puddling yet Callum ?

Re: Stockport Thread
 

McConville right hand side pulls ball back to Gornell on edge of area who shoots over.

Sub: McConville off, Parkinson on.

Stockport corner onto the head of Brown, ball loops into the air, back onto Browns head who pulls a fine save off Cisak.

Sponsors Man of the Match: Luke Joyce. Controversial decision here in the stand, not had a bad game but there have been better.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

some really good scores for stanley at the moment

Re: Stockport Thread
 

well done Luke MOM, Em's favourite player, its been coming for a few games now, been playing really well.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

No not puddling up, holding up quite well to be fair in the circumstances.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Got to agree with that Beast, definitely looking good if things stay the same.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

88: Hessey free kick 20 yards out. Drives it into the wall and is cleared.

Stockport sub: Paterson off, Rowe on

Re: Stockport Thread
 

well done luke - others have said he's been playing particularly well of late so even if not the best tonight he prob deserves it

Re: Stockport Thread
 

3 added minutes. And yes after recent performances, well deserved Joyce.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

93: Putterill shot 30 yards out, poor and trickles into the keepers gloves.

and it's all over and that's 3 points for Stanley!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Coooommmee on Lads, dig deep !

Re: Stockport Thread
 

nice one! a few 5 pointers on the pred league i think! another clean sheet looking good esp with other results tonight

well played stanley

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Get in there ! Cracking result & a much needed boost to the GD, well done the Red men !

Sitting pretty at 11th, if we carry on like this we'll all be getting nose bleeds. :D

Thanks for that Cal.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

late goal for bradford even better

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Re: Stockport Thread
 

oh yeah - thanks callum - despite you making me hunt high and low for a pie (unsuccessfully)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Almost every single result went our way tonight. wow.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

only wycombe went wrong really and thats just being ambitious

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Yep. Of the 13 teams above us at kick-off, only the top 3 won (OK Cheltenham and Oxford didn't play, but hey). 11th, optimistically 7th with the games in hand .......:o

On Stanley On!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

Loving the position we are in - top half of the table - only question is if we can keep up this form.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

MOM Luke Joyce? can't grumble with that to be honest as he was his usual industrious self and was at the start and finish of nearly everything. The only one who could truthfully have run him close was Edwards - but I disagree with giving a decision based purely on scoring if they do little else (not his fault).

Aaron Brown 3 - 0 Stockport.

Lets be honest here, we weren't three nil good tonight, they, and Brown in particularly, were probably the worst team I have ever seen. Honestly, they were crap. Brown gave away two penalties and almost scored a diving header own goal from distance at an impossible angle. He miskicked three or four times (wasnt on his own with that), they hit their own players (two or three yards away) with clearances, they tripped over the ball and left it on its own sat on the turf lonely twice. Even the goalkeeper fell over just walking back to his 18 yard box with the ball (was lucky he fell onto the ball really). I tell you, Brown wasnt even sure how to walk today he was that bad.

I thought going forward we could and should have had dozens today but we tried to do too much too many times. Their keeper has barely touched the ball. And defensively we looked in control, but I honestly think that was because of how poor County were. IF Coley had not sent the players for the 2nd half we'd still have kept a clean sheet.

Re: Stockport Thread
 

You must be joking. He was awesome tonight! One word sums up Stanley's performance for me - DESIRE. We had it in spades, chasing down the Stockport players all over the pitch throughout the 90 minutes. Great stuff. 2 clearer penalty decisions you won't ever see.:)

Re: Stockport Thread
 

I was going to say Brown was lucky to stay on the pitch because he should have got a yellow card for playing basketball on the first penalty, I was going to say lucky but in truth he was so bad the referee would have done him a favour ( and probably the stockport team ) if he had given him the first yellow :D

Re: Stockport Thread
 

I must have watched a different game !,they were no better than a pub team,the worst i have seen for years.
Acci never got out of second gear,and with JB screaming all game to go long and into the channels to turn stockport around was not pleasing on the eye.
The set up of the team was strange to say the least,our attacking 3 midfielders consisted of sean mac hugging one touchline,jimmy hugging the other and craney in the middle !,they were so far apart at times they needed mobile phones to communicate to each other.
With proccy and joyce sitting deep and reluctant to go forward,Gornell was left frustrated up front.
I presume they had stockport watched and this was the way to beat them,and the scoreline suggests it was correct,but as a viewing spectical it was at times painful.
Luke was by far the MOM and at least tried to link play.
Then again,another clean sheet,another victory,what do i know!!!!,Acci have played 100% better and lost this season,maybe we were due this type of performance / result.
Bring on Gillingham !!!!

Re: Stockport Thread
 

As others have said you would struggle to see worse teams than County on your local park on a Sunday morning but I suppose if you are devoid of confidence maybe that's what happens?
I was dissapointed if anything because everything was gifted to us for the goals we huffed & puffed and although being in control for long periods we could not put them to the sword in direct play.
As F19 says maybe we were due a scruffy performance but at this stage three points is all that matters.

Onwards & Upwards

Re: Stockport Thread
 

MOM Luke Joyce and well deserved, battled hard in the centre. Scrappy game. But I have seen better passing football with the kids on a saturday morning. Stockport were the worst side I have seen this season. That said three more in the bag but under no illusions the Gills will be as easy on saturday. Strange, we win by three goals all scored by our defence as they were really there for the taking.
