Thought they were absolute class before the sending off, you can see why they are top.
Obviously them going down to 10 men changed the game.
McAtee at the end of the game shaking most of their players hands and then coming over to the Findus to acknowledge the fans, we are lucky to have him.

You won’t seen many more obvious examples of a red card turning a game on it’s head than that. They were brilliant and might have romped that 3, 4 or 5-0 had it stayed 11v11. I’m not going to say we were brilliant because we weren’t. Jones in particular looked like his mate had won a raffle to play but had something else on so gave his place to Jones, and in the first half it looked like our defenders had met in the car park. The grind to get the win and the result itself have given me a lot of belief for our chances this season.
The atmosphere at the end was the best in years. A real joy to be sat in it today.
No doubt in my mind now that we’ll qualify for the play offs. A great Friday indeed.

Very honest guys thanks for that. Listening to the radio I have to agree first half I can't remember any of the towns names mentioned in a positive note and County dominated... Bizarre he took Quigley off but as a town fan I can't complain. I just hope they pick back up and win the rest of their games 👍 UTM

Just listening to PH. Said some of the cramp was the lads doing what other teams have done to us. He added, that he hoped so. Yeah it's not pretty but if you can't beat, join him.

We were completely bossed first half but took the opportunity the sending off gave us. Have thought for a long time that Scannell could star in this league and, alongside McAtee, stood out today. Also honourable mention to Andy Smith and Danny Amos.
Another big game Monday, six points this weekend would stand us in really good stead. UTM

Fair play to Stockport, far and away the best side we’ve seen this season. I’m sure they’ll do well next year aswell.
As LH said, could have been a brutal afternoon for us, had they kept 11 men on the pitch. Some good performances, Taylor, McAtee, Scannell I thought probably the pick for us.
First time I’ve seen Jones and my word he was horrendous, a lot of pointing and talking a good game, digging other players out but barely completed a pass, made a tackle or anything else. I really hope there’s more to come.
Onto Kings Lynn!

With results going as they did, we had to take a point. We got 3.
Sending off changed the game, and he didnt need to do it either, they were completely in control and the best team ive seen here. Vocally their support was terrific too
Taking off Quigley was a mistake for them and invited us to attack
PH change to bring on JMD for Clifton was positive and got us the 3 points. Scannell was superb and a clear MOM.
Onto Monday, might set off now….😂

I tried to be kind and leave Jones out of my post but agree 💯

I commented to the lad next to me that Jones was doing his best to play himself out of a contract for next season in the first half. I thought it was a bold move to leave Cropper out of the matchday 16 completely given the throw he has in his locker but that's the quality we have in the squad now I guess.
I thought it was a tough afternoon for Taylor. I wanted Dieseruvwe to come on for him and then he did what he does best and set up McAtee for a great goal. Really pleased Hurst brought JMD on when he did because the game needed him and he was key in changing the outcome.
We couldn't get anywhere near the excellent Stockport until the second half. We needed them to go defensive to get hold of the ball and thankfully for us, they did just that. We could have done with Wrexham winning today to make the gap at the top 5 points but I can't see Stockport bottling it now.
On we go. Absolutely buzzing with that result.
