Just Back (I live in Stockport)

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

I think that’s harsh on hunt. If he had some of the grey matter that Holohan has, then he would’ve been playing week in week out for Wendy.

I thought efete had his best game for a while and Clifton (imho) was MOM.

The support, considering it was an open terrace and slightly moist, we’re in fine voice.

The time wasting am not sure about but, it didn’t half p1ss off the Stockport support/staff/commentary

Think their commentators thought we should have had at least 14 red cards, not biased though 😉

I think it’s becoming clear that we need the 3 in central midfield to be most effective with Green set to become a fixture after an in and out start partially due to Injury .That’s means we have to have live with 4-5-1 which will continue to be difficult viewing at home. While the strong performers are obvious and don’t need repeating here credit again to  to Pepple who for all his rawness again contributed to a goal.

Crowcombe was brilliant and my motm closely followed by green.
Enjoyed watching that today, even thought Kiernan had a better game than usual, his touch at times was brilliant.
Utm

Enjoyed the game today. Difficult for a man of the match for me when I thought it was such a brilliant team performance. However would give a special mention to Khan who is getting better the more he gets match fit. A fit McAtee and Scannel might just make this team rather interesting.

Another top result. Were the dominant side for the first half an hour and then you expect you're going to have to soak up some pressure away from home and we did well to hold onto our lead in the second with the save by Crocombe that has been mentioned.

Thought the red card was harsh in person but it was a definite red after looking back, and the third goal on the counter to wrap it up was just the icing on the cake. .

MOTM for me was Green, the mans an absolute beast, won all his aerial duals and protected the back line brilliantly, oh and he's lucky to still have his legs in one piece!..
Khan run them ragged, Harry was just being Harry and Efete was solid today.
Gotta say though, Crocombe is different gravy, anyone who thinks he's not an upgrade on McKeown needs to give their head a wobble, he played and excellent flat ball out to khan and is immense on crosses, plus he does shithousery on the next level...

Really enjoyed that, in the first 30 mins we were really good and the selection and us shape worked well, at half time 1 - 2 felt about right.

The thing I like about our first 2 goals was just that we’d got numbers in the box and Clifton & Holohan took their chances when they presented themselves. I think we could have dealt with their goal better but there you go.

After the break it was always going to be a challenge but all of the lads contributed alongside the support to keep them out. Though Max was busy it never really felt like they were all over us.

The way the gave was going there was always going to be a 4th goal and luckily enough it was ours on the break and really well taken by Hunt, finishing the game off in injury time like that is the next best thing to an injury time winner for sure.

An overall massive team performance in true Hurst like style, Max was my MOM but to be honest you could have chosen 4 or 5 stand outs in a team where unity, togetherness and work ethic runs though their DNA from top to bottom.

Few other things, for once I sat close to the pitch today and got close ups of our players, when you’re that close you just see their immense work rate and commitment to each other. I also observed what an immense leader Luke Waterfall is, not just as a player but also as a talker and organiser, his behaviour & body language is always positive and I’m convinced he’s playing a role in Andy Smith’s great season to date.

I thought Stockport was a good away venue and today confirmed that overall, it’s just a shame their ground safety officer didn’t have the sense to open that gate at the end as that could have turned into a bigger incident despite several Rossers looking on doing sod all about it.

Also though I don’t like to be on the receiving end but our level of new found sh1thousery is quite refreshing.

We’re doing well, think what it could be like if and when we get a fully fit McAtee & Scanz back in a few weeks time.

YTM!

Hard to find anyone that had a poor game today.

We looked threatening going forward and for a lot of huff and puff, their goal came from our mistake.

They seemed to lack any idea or shape, seemed to just be get the ball forward asap and hope for the best.

Waterfall was a man mountain again, Taylor once again was as pulled all over the gaff but did what he needed to do. Fair play to Kiernan, after last week nobody would’ve argued had he been left out but he cracking in the first half.

We didn’t really adapt to their first half sub but saw the game out to half time and set ourselves again.

The goal at the end was the icing on the cake…

Pepple was busy again when he came in but he looked to be running in treacle when he did come on…

No comments to add about the game.....

But on the way back to car a Stockport fan turned to his mate and said

  " well ....I have a team I hate more than Wrexham now"

That's how good our shithousery was  🤣
