Match Day Thread: Stockport (A) 3rd April 2026

It’d be the easiest job in the world if we had Sonny Bradley and either C Taylor or Low out there.

Much, much harder job with this season’s options.

It’s a toss up this season of what was the most colossal error - leaving ourselves so scandously weak up front, or lacking so much aerial strength.

Duff likes a bizarre change sometimes.

This is one of them.

Need a goal. I know take off a striker and leave Fred on the pitch. Am I watching a different game to Duff

Stockport very comfortable. Looking increasingly likely to score a third.

Lowe just been hooked, did he touch the ball in the second half?

Harris next hopefully, probably for Leahy knowing Duff.

The longer we’ve had Lowe the worse he’s looked unfortunately.

Made a brilliant start when seemingly half fit.

Credit where it’s due, superb save by Norris from the free kick.

Really don’t think Lowe is fit at all. That would make further sense of the sub.

Today has removed even the slightest margin for error - we need to finish with a straight 5 wins in a row- end of story.

Doesn’t feel likely, but at least we’re taking it into the 40s games wise.

Odds on Leahy for Henderson soon?

Stockport haven’t looked worried by us once today. This just shows that imo we aren’t actually ready for the top 6 this year. Time to come to terms with that and set our sights on promotion next season.

Agreed, any longer today and he’d probably have a very limited show on Monday.

He is a good short stopper, and not really that bad on crosses.

His problem is generally distribution madness. And considering how we play, distribution is quite important.

Our strange start to the season and some recruitment issues scuppered us I think. Two goals up they had little to worry about. They did need their keeper though…

We’ve got the makings of a good team, just missing the big player at the front and back, with probably a better centre back and left wing option too.

I think the 2 CB injuries and a troubled keeper have been our issues.

We hired a set piece coach half way through this season, and they’ve been dross ever since. Who cares the heights of the players we have, his job is literally to help us make the most of them.

haha and now leahy….Duff is definitely bantering ….

Leahy for…..

Just to have still been in with a shot is amazing considering out disastrous start and weird recruitment. Lot’s of work to do over the summer.
