What a lovely ball from Sharples. Been a tough watch since I got on at 60 though.

On the other hand, that was far from Stockport's first choice XI. As my County mate told me with barely concealed glee, the massive cunt. I don't think we can blame injury or illness for such a collapse - isn't that the point of having a squad? Especially with a whole week off vs an opponent who have just been slapped on the same pitch 4 days before, (against a side led by a CM deemed surplus to our own squad)...

Bottle jobs yet again in a 'derby' game. It's not even surprising any more - the only surprise is the depths we still plumb when using the word 'derby' as any sort of justification. Stockport were pub league and didn't need to be anything more. Results like today are beyond anything like tactical issues; you suffer a close loss away from home and you take your medicine, fine. But the collective downing of tools at 2-0 was about as disgusting a reaction I've seen at this club. The Stockport fans I met up with after the game couldn't believe their luck. Neither could my half-Wanderers-half-County dad, who took pity on me and didn't even pretend to celebrate the fourth. Like many in the Railway End, we left for a pub not long after. I've been Evatt's biggest fan - I appreciate the culture, the mentality, the football he has played here in bringing us back from death's door - it has been a proper joy and a great ride to be on. But surely there's no coming back from a mental capitulation like that. With a heavy heart: Evatt Out.

Unfortunately, in contemporary politics, class, humilty and decency doesn't compare with a baying mob of virgins in red hats sat on "X" all night. What an utterly predictable shit show today was. Fuck it. Roll on Stockport... or something.

Not often you and I agree! I think he's class, and have since my Cov supporting mates made me aware of him ages back. They're tossing themselves blind over the sell-on fee they're supposed to get from Lisbon if (when) he moves on. I hope, for their sake, it's more than we got from Chelsea for Gary Cahill (!) 😁

Quite. In 😇

With a lob like that... clear that Jhon Duran's been watching George Thomason 🙃

Just back. Wonderful performance to a man - shame about the last 5 minutes. Hopefully a little wake up call. Also, perhaps a bit lucky with the yellows for GT and Schon, but it's reet. We outclassed Northampton all over the pitch. Minor point, I'm still a bit annoyed with Charles shooting from a daft angle when he could have squared to make it 5. But I mean... if that's the only grumble, we're onto something good. And I suppose it's showing a man in confidence! Looking forward to Shrewsbury 😀 -- Edit... what the FUCK is Northampton's "Oh Christmas Tree" tune all about? Been in my bastard head all the way home. It's October.

Oh, I do enjoy seeing unhappy Real players 😅

I honestly don't think Wrexham will come close to automatics over the full season. I'm more concerned about Charlton and Stockport, personally. --- Anyway, cracking result against a side that looked quite impressive on the ball and were very, erm, snappy off it. The kind of game we'd have struggled to take 3 points from last year. Solid at the back, a constant threat going forward - and with fuck-all possession. Plan 2.0, nice.

Shit that McAtee lad... Lovely ball.

It's like you took every word out of my mind! Agree with every word, I can't add anything. - I properly enjoyed this afternoon. More please!

Looking forward to seeing if the captaincy change makes a difference. Hopefully reduced responsibility will let Santos get back to himself, confidence wise. 3 in the middle should help us too...

Ill Swear It Again, hopefully with these backroom changes, we will really see What Makes A Man, and Against All Odds, this will become a Season In The Sun. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/westlifes-top-20-biggest-songs-on-the-official-charts__25303/

Ok, it's "only" Barrow in the tinpot trophy. But there's something to be said for them coming back like that in the 2nd half, in horrible conditions, when there's already huge (deserved) pressure from the fanbase. Cracks papered for now. Hopefully there's a great big bucket of Polyfilla arriving at Lostock over the international break.
