Blackpool FC 1 Stockport County 2 ( Football League 1) Tuesday 27 January 2026

        County came away with a full haul of points from their latest game on their travels, following a convincing 2-1 win against Blackpool. 2-1 may not seem convincing but it very much was- the illusion of it being not quite so , due to County, having established an authoritative lead via two superb goals in 2 minutes of exciting one touch football, then eased off after the break conceding a late/ late goal as a result.
