The Neil Young Interview.

By -
 





With the rain bucketing down on SK3 and loads and loads to do, County`s new Manager Neil Young took time out to speak to hedgegrower this afternoon giving out an additional insight on matters County.
Neil had lots to say about all the new faces about to grace the turf regularly at Edgeley Park.



He had lots to say about Andy Robinson, signed last night and hopefully about to show us the magic he regularly exhibited when playing against us in the past!
If `experience and attitude' featured in Neil`s descriptions of Robinson, Karl Ledsham,  Sean O`Hanlon, Gareth Roberts, Glenn Rule and Danny Morton, he was no less forthcoming when it came to relative rookie Lamin Colley.





" Lots of clubs wanted him, and Bradford did not want to part company with the 21 year old, but he wanted to come to County"

News of the likely arrival of a couple of forwards followed along with a word or two about what shape a Young County side will take. 
                 
                   Will it be 4/4/2 ? 
                   Will we have width ?  

Well all these and more questions are answered by Neil on the 21 minute audio that follows.

At that point I left Neil , working away with Assistant Manager Gary Jones and County Legend and now County  Coach Mike Flynn .

Upon leaving the ground I could not resist adding another photo of the pitch which is getting greener by the hour!



IO County.

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forg...

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, ...

Notts County 2 Stockport County 1 ( Vanarama National League) Saturday 23 October 2021

        Perhaps expectations were a touch excessive, after all most visits to Meadow Lane usually result in a stiff test from a home side hell bent on victory. Today was no exception to this as County were outplayed for 94 and a half minutes of the 96 played, by a Notts County side drilled to do the basics correctly, and doing just that. Almost all their passes, no matter the situation, inevitably found a man in a black and white shirt who knew thereafter precisely what they should do with it, whereas if County had no shortage of possession at times, they appeared to be largely lacking a basic pattern to work to that went beyond the sideways pass, and the occasional long ball from Rooney. This resulted in Simon Rusk`s side trailing 2-0 two minutes into four added minutes, when unaccountably the previously immaculately drilled home back line pressed the panic button resulting in a County penalty ( 1-2) and a welter of frenzied County attacks and corners, but it ...
