a nervy game so far, and one we haven’t stamped any form of authority or style on!
Leaburn very poor so far, and feel godden would have been better - although the physicality of the game has limited Leaburn somewhat.
TC also limited first half - hasn’t been given any space and we’ve just tried to lump balls in behind for him to run onto. Need the midfield to put their foot on the ball and play forward on the deck.
defensively we look solid in the middle but down the sides has been Stockport main threat - Anderson in midfield to break up play would be my main change
All about second balls as the wind and a very lenient ref dominate the first half. We look fairly solid at the back, and midfield doing ok. Leaburn is being fouled incessantly and TC looks tired.
Maybe a switch to Godden at HT would help?
Still very winnable but the wind and a mistake may be what turns this game.
A rare game so far where TC's pace isn't really doing much against a disciplined backline. Godden can give their defenders some difficult questions to answer if he pulls them out of their comfortable positions later on. Berry looks like the player who can have a one touch moment of inspiration today, let's hope we get a goal out of it
Very different to the open flowing game vs Orient. The referee and the wind have helped make it a very scrappy, physical game. Defence is playing well, midfield and attack haven’t really got going. Looking like a 0-0 or 1-0 either way. The kind of game that might get settled by a set piece - time for Gilbert to shine again?
Both defences are the winners in that half. Our passing needs to be crisper but I disagree with Brownie, Campbell has seen more of the ball but has not put his marker under pressure. I think at some stage Gilbert will be introduced and this time I wouldn't mind seeing Chuks, to give those centre half's something to think about.

Hopefully our subs 2nd half can push us on to 3 points
Referee is beyond shocking. Some blatant fouls just ignored.
This is no easy task for us, but on the whole we’ve reduced them to not much and probably had the best chance.
I'm in his fan club as well ✅

COYA!
Ethan Pye is more than a bit grabby. Ought to change his name to Octopye.
Co-commentator sounds like Karl Pilkington. Bit of a miserablist too.
Surprisingly quiet in the away end as well, rare for us to be out sung by the home fans
