Why would the keepers have been given a half each?

It's clear that Hurst, and most fans, saw today as a game to get out of the way, get minutes into the legs of Scannell ,Grant and Wright and chalk off one of McAtee's three match ban. Add to that, to avoid further injury to players likely to start on Tuesday. Bell and Crocombe have done well since coming in but it is important to keep Macca 'game ready' if Crocombe gets Covid or injured? I would even say that Fox could have made way for young Braithwaite in the last 20 min. I had to leave on 80 min so that might have happened.

Braithwaite didn't come on because that would have meant he transitioned from youth team player to first team player which could mean we have to play Tuesday.

Against one of the most expensively assembled squad in the recent National League decades, and under a new manager who has gotten a number of teams to promotion so very well knows how it’s done. We all knew once Rusk left, if they appointed a half decent manager, they could get them performing very well given their playing squad and resources. Where is their money coming from BTW to afford the likes of Madden and Sarcevic - have they got a loaded owner whose happy to splash as much as is necessary to regain football league status. Historically had a decent/large-ish match-going fan base too haven’t they if I remember right that will help with the back-rolling? Seem to remember reading of large attendances as they were climbing their way back to the league’s?!

Thought the Stockport Ticket office staff, and stewards were excellent yesterday. It was as if we were in an American Diner but felt more genuine. 'Welcome!' as I bought my ticket. 'This way sir' at the turnstiles. 'Have a lovely evening!' from the lady at the exit gate. Whoever manages their training does an effective job.
Such a shame half a dozen of our drunken loudmouths showed themselves up before being ejected.

Agree re the ticket office and stewards - they were excellent. None if our lads were ejected though, they left of their own accord. Stewards said they had to escort you out - we left 20 mins before the end and were escorted to the gate - had a laugh with the guy too.
