Not sure a midfield of Close, Bailey and Gotts has the bite to control things in there

Agree. Only if they work as a unit, if Bailey goes wandering forward too often too soon he could leave Close too exposed on the turnovers.

Come on lads, give us some Christmas cheer and turn things around.

No sure about it.

It doesnt.

Alot of players havn't been picked because they have played themselves into the team but rather due to the poor performance of others.

Was thinking the same. But there again we’ve been in that situation for quite some time. Still haven’t solved that element of our play with a suitable ‘tiger’ in midfield.

Post by: jmt23 on December 29, 2025, 08:48:06 pm
Both teams look seriously poor at the back, the problem being they have better quality in midfield and up top.
It’s even with us having the slightest of edges with my rosey Red glasses on. This could go either way, but they look as bad as they did a few weeks back at our place, nowt to be scared of.

Well handball by Middleton and we can't defend a cross and Whooton scores another. We are missing ORiordon. McGrath is not good enough at this level we need two CBS if we can afford it

Bet Joseph is a happy chappie tonight, doing the double over his former club.

We have a very generous defence, and Hanlan was piss poor for me

It's not about Stockport doing the double it's the standard of our defence without ORiordon. It's about will we live or die by players we can bring in January

We are starting to need to many better players to get us up to half way. No striker scoring again. Pearson Grehan and McGrath are not league one standard. Midfield is okay but not the level we need. The left side and strikers are poor. Not looking good

Half a season left.  If we have half a season half as good as a couple of years ago we’ll be ok.

I’m not hanging around for the aftermath on here..

That was in League 2, IDM. Massive difference.

That result did not reflect the game. We are defensively crap at the moment, though. We arguably had more chances to win.

I get fed up of saying it but yet again another shit referee. 99 times out of 100 Norwood would get a yellow card but not with this turd.

I think that the two Stockport games are a microcosm of our season. We play well but still lose. Our team cannot compete with an average L1 team. We can’t defend, we can’t control midfield and we have no scoring capacity upfront. Where does Grant start to resolve this crisis, because now it is a crisis.

Result not reflective of the play. Great effort and some great play from us. Not going down.

Whilst i understand your sentiment we will go down if we continue defend like that. 14 goals conceded in the last 4 games.Both tonights centre halves not good enough.

Agreed, the difference is Wootton and Olowu have got the physicality to win their personal battles, our lads haven’t.

The only benefit of tonight is that a draw although would’ve been a badly needed point, may have papered over the cracks. Tonight’s game highlights the massive need to recruit quality in January, whether we can recruit those players is another question. We need players that will improve the first XI, we recruit more fringe players we go down.

That’s why I said only half as good..
