March 15, 20251 yr Looked tired and flat from the start of the second half. Subs and fresh legs should have been made after 55 mins. Too much shitty passing again on the edge of the box. Those terrible Evatt tactics are implanted into this team along with all the lightweight signings who get pushed over and bullied into submission so easily.

He needs a transfer window. But these derby results are massively depressing regardless of who the manager is.
March 15, 20251 yr The performance overall wasn't great but there is no denying we have been well and truly been done by the ref there, that 2nd half doesn't happen if the ref was up to standard and at least reduced them to 10 men, some decisions are subjective, i get that, but when that happens after giving us nothing it just seemed like it was us v 12, why did he give Stockport the possession drop ball 1st half when we had it? if he thought Collins wasn't fouled for the penalty why no yellow for Collins for diving?? he did that quite quickly after Collins was brought down on t'other side just outside box too and he gave no foul. there goal comes form a subs mistake and then Toal commits too much and gets done but fair play to their goalscorer, obvs you'd hope Forino could get closer but the guy was running at pace and even a slight drop of shoulder or feint can get a defender to leave space, that was well taken but shouldn't have happened had they had 10 men, different game. not wanting to be salty or ought but that was quite evident the referee was appalling. we try and score goals like Morley did vs Burton, we worked it low across box for Collins start of 2nd half and he blazed over and Sheehan shot down the middle at 0-1 in a similar situation, if we do that more often we will score goals.

Randall should have been off before Morley. Matete give the ball away that led to their goal. Subs were awful. Collings needs benching
March 15, 20251 yr Probably deserved a draw. Taol was really poor today. Partly at fault for their goal, and ball watching for their other best chance. Morley and Sheehan very quiet. Randall was excellent first half but off the pace the second. Tomo did well but from a strange position. Nowt up front today. Baxter MOM for me. Felt a bit like Evatt ball at times....

No excuses with this squad of players & SS will certainly be demanding we make the playoffs.
March 15, 20251 yr Felt a bit “Evatt” that, but it’s Evatts players. Fantastic individual goal from their forward who was a handful in the second half. Shit from our point of view, but we’ve got nobody in our team currently that can do that. Powerful running through people and finishing well. We didn’t deserve anything from that game, but had they been down to 10 men like they should in the first half, and we win that comfortably
March 15, 20251 yr Just back and very disappointed I can only describe that as a Evatt like performance.No pace in the play safe, backwards, sideways passing, very pedestrian, which led to absolutely no atmosphere Having said all that the ref was a cunt,he gave us nothing ( pen or red card)

You couldn’t trust the team to turn up though and get past a Stockport or may be Wrexham . Summer rebuild for me . Were probably about 6 or 7th best team in this league Edited March 15, 20251 yr by Farnywhite

At times i felt sorry for Ian Evatt as whatever his tactics were the players were just not good enough.
March 15, 20251 yr Pretty shite all round except Baxter with his saves Not seeing it with Randall Can't complain with the result but frustrating that another ref doesn't give a clear yellow just because it would also mean a red

Well on top in the second half until they scored, comfortable after it. We didn't get battered (again) but both teams got what they deserved.

March 15, 20251 yr Overall the collective wasn’t at it today. No point picking out players individually because they were all miles off it. Stockport to their credit were organised, tough to break down, disciplined, tidy in midfield and had 3 big strong forwards who caused problems. A successful formula at this level that. we’re looking so light up front it’s a worry. think the 0-1 flattered us a bit to be honest. Baxter made 3 great saves. Doesn’t give any confidence at all that performance that we can get the local game monkey off our back with 2 bigger ones to come.. Edited March 15, 20251 yr by barrycowdrill
March 15, 20251 yr Certainly early doors for getting into being critical of SS, he is trying to make the best of what he's been left with, which isn't suited to getting out of this league. I was a bit surprised though by the line up and I did think he let it drift a bit second half before responding, by which time their proactive changes had wrestled them into control of the game. We woke up a bit for 10 mins after he did make the changes just after their goal but overall way too lightweight, too many looking leggy and deserved no more than we got.

March 15, 20251 yr SS will be a victim of having done so well since he arrived. Today we were poor & far too reminiscent of Evatt-ball. That needs expunging. If, & we now should, we get to the play-off it's a bonus.
March 15, 20251 yr Paid for 2 Madri at the express till. Collected 4. That was as good as my day got.

Show him onto his left foot. Fucking basics. We turned back into an Evatt team today. Just slow passing around the back. No urgency. We need to be much better than over these next two games of we will get beat. Toals defending was worse. Should have been out of the pitch or just leant on to put him if his stride. Weak
