Let's talk about the Stockport game

Quoted from HertsGTFC

I think we’ve got a fair amount of decent league players, they’re just not playing well at the moment.

Khan, McAtee, Taylor, Morris, Scannell and Clifton are, when fit, decent enough. Beyond that, most are unproven at this level. There’s others with potential I grant you but….

I sometimes have a lurk on other teams message boards when we play them and they are generally more complimentary about us than our own fans.


They have no emotional attachment.

They've not even sold out the away end, surprised at that.

I'm not. They sold out for a sunny Good Friday with trains running, when people still had cheap mortgages and reasonable energy bills. They've decent away support but not exceptional considering their home crowds, they've never filled the away end before. After today, save for Mansfield, I doubt we'll have more than 500 away fans at BP for any league game for the rest of the season.

Oddly enough we travelled over to Grimsby from Stockport this morning and didn’t see hoards of away supporters, might be a bit early still though.

2 1 Grimsby.. Waterfall 1st scorer... 275/1

Crazier things have happened....

I’d be quite happy I’d Waterfall never played today to be honest.

Given that Pearson is not available for selection are you comfortable going into the game with Maher and Smith as our central defenders? I missed the Salford match, fortunately, and appreciate he may be below par at present but the vast majority of players will have spells in the season when their form dips and at least we know with Waterfall we’re guaranteed 100% commitment and hopefully a return to form.

I might be inclined to go with 3 at the back to day with Clifton and Glennon as wing backs, Hunt and Green in centre mid with McAtee, Khan and Orsi up top. Appreciate Orsi didn’t set the world alight on Thursday night but think he needs to play 3 or 4 games on the bounce to see if he’s worth keeping hold of, if not then he can be moved on in late January.

It’s a fair challenge to be honest but it’s not working with Waterfall and one of the other 2 so is Waterfall the problem. I don’t expect it to happen but captain fantastic is drifting towards being the player he looked like under Holloway, I hope I’m wrong about that as he’s a good bloke.
