A good, competitive, balanced game of football where either side could have won it with dazzling attacking play and resolute defending from both teams... the under 11s 6-a-side game at HT was gripping!
Rest of it was toss.
10/10 to the Rotherham fans on the top right refusing to move for the Technicolour Dreamcoat of stewards at different supervisory levels.

20 years ago today Kevin Nolan scored an injury time winner away at Birmingham.
This was after a run of 10 games without a win, including 6 back to back defeats. They won’t admit it but plenty then wanted Sam out. 3 points from 30.
We finished the season sixth and qualified for Europe.

Ohh, you are a tease.
I'm in - choo choo, steam train to the Championship. No point in doing this otherwise.
(Exeter is a solid boozing city btw 🙃)

I really don't know what you're saying
i just want him to take a pass, in stride, and move it on the floor
He seems incapable
Dont get me wrong, Im convinced we have massive confidence isdues and why should he not be affected
It annoys me that he's always used as the man to play a cross into the box when GT/Schon has inevitably shat themselves and run to the corner flag.
He is a lovely lump of a centre back, a Maguire, a Faye, a Terry, a Jaidi - not someone who is going to deliver a pinpoint ball into the 6 yard box for Collins to tuck away. And yet, we persist in trying to make a purse out of a sow's ear. Just let him defend, ffs.

Oh, for a team trying to play out, johnston is fucking abysmal
He has qualities but hes no 'footballer'
Johnston as a slabhead CB, lovely.
As seemingly the focal point for putting pretty much any cross into the box? Bonkers. Like trying to thread a needle with a sledgehammer.

Pressure, what pressure? Pressure is for scoreboards...
An absolute robbery, but I couldn't give a single shiny shite. This game is about moments, and the incredulous limbs once we realised we'd won it, were fucking awesome. Never mind that we effectively cheered a PA bollocking for racial abuse... what timing! (Whoever in the seats did that, give your head a wobble, you twat)
I'm enjoying a Devon Red or two, and the sleet-battered, quite pretty city. *Almost* as much as I enjoyed the players parking Evattball for 5 minutes and actually wanting to win a game.
10/10 marks to Mrs TM for enabling me to play out.
0/10 for January's credit card statement.

I had a free Saturday and credit in the bank from the missus, so I booked a Holiday Inn and drove down on a whim.
Whoops... COYW 😬

Lovely goal.
Well done to anyone who's gone tonight, this is much better to watch in a warm pub!

Behave. Solid target man performance. He can't control the fucking ball. What a load of shite. That defender won 90 percent of the duels easily. Missed two sitters. He's a tap in merchant. Watch every goal he's ever scored for Bolton . Every one bar one is in the 6 yard box.
Collins is twice the player Vic is. People have short memories. Some of the goals he scored last season for us were unbelievable. He scored the winner last week against Blackpool FFS. Collins, Mcatee and Charles might go in and out of form but they skill and technique and can finish.
Seems we watched different games, fair enough. Vic's only job all night was to battle their centre half for long balls, and he brought down far more than he didn't.
The failing was his complete isolation. Nobody ever within a centre circle's area near him - where were our super awesome amazing wide forwards to support? Completely anonymous (McAtee improved, granted), but their names scan nicely with a couple of songs, so it's reyt.
Collins did fuck all for 90 minutes v Blackpool - his goal was as pure a crack-paperer as you'll see.
Adeboyejo isn't perfect, far from it. Should we have sold up? Probably. But I'm tired of him being the scapegoat when there are many more players in that squad who need to look at themselves.

Vic getting pelters for a solid target man performance (OK, that miss was laughable), while the yet again anonymous Collins is yet again forgiven.
I liked the inverted WBs. I liked Tutu's performance even more. As someone said above, that was a win from nowhere that Derby would have managed last year, and we'd have looked on enviously. I liked that the most about tonight.
2 CMs doesn't work, we all know that, and I'm sure with hindsight, Morley wouldn't have been shipped off as we're desperately light with a formation that doesn't work. Sonny should be eased into the side, as he was - not just thrown in to make up a formation.
I'll happy clap away. In the end, I enjoyed tonight. And we're still well in contention.

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

bad day at the office,
Stricken with injuries and illness, managed to get through the match,
serious questions need to be asked about the players fitness, and that the players have been over trained, let them play football rather than some fancy playbook including the keeper and cogley in every attack..
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.

And that's how you concede in a democracy.
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.

I wouldn't even have paid 3,100M for Messi and Ronaldo combined at the peak of their powers mate 😉
I see that he's scored a hat trick against the Massives tonight. Mind you, I know fuck all about football and greater minds than mine have already said that he couldn't cut it in the Premier League. I think we may be about to find out in the not too distant future.
Gyokeres really does remind me of the late, great Nat Lofthouse.
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 (!) 😁

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 😀

Oh, I do enjoy seeing unhappy Real players 😅

If we can now start to keep clean sheets and get a couple of goals in the next 3 games we r back on track still think 2nd place will be up for grabs once Wrexham run out of steam
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.

Well I enjoyed that.
MOM was between Vic and GT for me, GT thoroughly deserved the captain role and he thrived with it today. Still worrying is the amount of chances other teams are creating, we can get away with it when we bag 5 however I won’t let that ruin my night. Shit to see the Evatt out banner in the NSL, hopefully they got told. There would have been “fans” in there today desperate for us to lose, well unlucky you knobs! And to all those staying away until Evatt has gone, good. The club doesn’t need those types
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...

No idea how we're winning this, that half was horrible.
