Stockport

Ok. We have to accept there will be no managerial changes before Saturday and personally I hope Hurst comes out of this run and we start picking up points and performances, starting Saturday.

Tough game against league leaders but we have a good record in picking up points at Edgeley and went last year when we won 3-1.
Would like to see us be bold and brave but also plug our leaky defence so was thinking could we line up something like this...

                                   Eastwood

              Mullarkey.    Rodgers.    Maher
Efete.                                                             Amos

               Clifton.        Conteh.      Holahan

                             Rose.          Eisa

Wingbacks when attacking, solid back 5 when under pressure.
Bring back in your experienced heads Maher and Holohan whilst still offering there defence with something to think about with 2 up top, Eisa with a free roam between midfield and attack. Wilson on mid-2nd half to add energy and pace.

Stockport 14 - 0 Grimsby Town

Can’t see anything else I’m afraid.

Unbelievable that the away end was sold out before the weekend.

Its a good day out  weather permitting  and where else are you going to see 14 goals on saturday  

Think 14-0 might be tongue in cheek.

4-0 or 5-0 possible

I think you mean no managerial changes?

The Accrington game is still lingering like a excrement from a heavy curry the night before I'm afraid.

I've got a ticket but genuinely have zero desire to go and watch us if we're going to put in anywhere near as abject a display as we did at the weekend.

I do admire the enthusiasm and hope of the original poster but I'm struggling to see how any change of formation will make us more solid, I get the idea behind wingbacks but have no confidence in anyone we deploy out wide offering an attacking outlet so it'll just a permanent back 5.

I think our best chance of getting something, even if just a bit of pride, comes from grinding something out in a typical Hurst performance.  With that in mind I probably wouldn't start either Conteh or Eisa.  On paper two of our better players but each has contributed diddly-squat in recent weeks.  The bar is low but if you're underneath that bar at the minute then you definitely don't deserve to play.

I hope we go with the intent to attack and take the game to Stockport, but instead I think we'll go with one up top (Rose).  He'll be ridiculously isolated and then with 20 minutes to go Hurst will throw Wilson and Pyke on (Rose and Eisa coming off, moving to a 5-3-2 formation) with some delusional belief that they'll be able to turn it round from 3-0 down. Around this time Holohan will come on for Conteh who hasn't been within 10 yards of the ball since picking up a 12th minute booking.  With Stockport already having made 5 subs and their foot well and truly off the gas, we might snatch a consolation goal late on.  Post game Hurst will say we were the better team despite the fact Stockport had 37 shots on goal to our 2 efforts (1 on target).

The fact we’re talking about playing for pride in our 14th game of the season is a damning insight into the current state of affairs. I’ll be there, but I’m really regretting getting a ticket based on Saturdays shambolic performance.

Even IF we pick up anything on Saturday, how many of us are confident that’ll somehow be a catalyst to turn us into play-off hopefuls?

With any luck there ground my be blown away in the upcoming storm and it gets postponed until early May when a last minute winner seals our automatic promotion under the current Gateshead manager.
Sorry I was dreaming again

It’s a bit soon for that; Rob Elliot hasn’t even had a single game in management yet.
