All Things Stockport County

What do   you do when you pitch up at the home of   the team that is   not only   the top of the league , but has won the last two games scoring nine goals in the process? When you are Stockport County you roll up your sleeves, graft for 90 odd minutes……add a dash or three of inspiration to the perspiration , and the jobs a good `un. That was exactly how it was last night at the nicely appointed Hayes Lane stadium, where County gave the league leaders a goal start and came away with a highly creditable 2-2 draw. Put simply…..that was a very good performance indeed, and alongside Saturday`s win in the same far off southern county against Dover, it adds up to a highly satisfactory return in difficult circumstances for James Gannon`s men! Forced to point to top men in blue, I would mention the tireless Thomas who was as energetic and dangerous in the 94 th minute as he was in the first. Tireless Thomas !  Adam had a perfect foil i

    County reserved a wholehearted 14 man work fest within one of   their very best sunshine team performances of the current season, for a day that otherwise was notable only for torrents of spirit sapping rain that seemed never to stop. At the end of the game, after the blues had given almost 250 travelling County fans, 90 odd minutes of first class effort and skill, my notes were a mushy pulp, so good luck dear reader making sense of my damp ramblings! A   team performance was it….yes indeed it was, with lots of graft going down all over the sodden Kentish turf from those decked out in blue, and it was all the more a win to cherish as it was over a full time outfit, who from first kick until last   struggled to compete with JG`s men.   Palmer typifies County work ethic ( Andrew Machin ) The 250 need mentioning too, as their support was loud and long and particularly helpful after the break when, for a while, Dover took the game to County.
