Spineless, Gutless and A Waste Of Time…

Stockport : Glennon, Halls, O’Donnell, Piergianni, Edwards, Rowe (Cole), Nolan (Sheridan), McCann (Darkwar), McConville, Elliot.

Stockport went ahead early in the first half through Sean McConville after making a super run through the middle of the park, Stockport had most of the chances early on but could not find it within them to get another goal before the break.

County came out on top after half time, this only lasted for around 10-15 minutes before a defensive mistake lead to Celtic making the score 1-1. In the time County were on top they had 7 shots and one clear goal scoring opportunity that Tom Elliot should have scored from.

From the time that Celtic equalised the County heads dropped, from being on top of the game we soon became the same old County with sloppy passes and stuck in first gear. With County being bogged down in their defensive half for a solid 20 minutes chances kept coming for Stalybridge to go in front but the Hatters hung on.

In the 90th minute after COunty has taken a corner Stalybridge hit County on the attack in front of their home supporters sending them ecstatic.

With boo’s being heard from the travelling 600 fans, the players heads dropped for the rest of the 3 minutes left and had no chance in getting anything out of the game.

After the game the travelling fans were appalled at The Hatters performance and they showed this through their comments to the players. Some in particular felt it more than others. With a lack of grit in the team it is only a matter of time before County face a third successive relegation, something needs to happen and fast.

I surely cant say onwards and upwards again, but what I will say is, I really hope Saturday can spark a bit of life into the team with the arrival of Alfreton Town. Alfreton are in a similar position to COunty in the league and Im only certain they will want it just as much as the mighty Hatters.
