Saturday 16th November fixtures

[Conker]

There's about two million people that live in a nine-mile radius of Stockport. This might be hard to comprehend when you're from a small parish hours away from any town large enough to have its own Primark, but the vast, vast majority of them couldn't give a toss about County.

In fact he could live next door to EP and still be statistically much more likely to be a city fan. If you lived round here you'd know they're not even remotely sympathetic towards their local team. Frankly I'd happier with a ref from a hundred miles away.

Still, ready-made excuse I suppose.

You lost me at him potentially being a City fan, that seems very unlikely!

We never do well at EP, I can only remember off the top of my head 3 wins in the last 25 years. Given we got an absolute pasting last year there too doesn't help. I wouldn't say we're rattled, but our squad is once again unsettled. By the sounds of some Stockport fans, they can win 3-1 or lose 3-1, so we need to perform better than in recent weeks. PP doesn't set out to win games away from home as much as our home games, more like containing then get the opposition on a counter attack, then sit on it. Be a tough game to call...

I've been there about 6 times I think and not sure we've ever taken a point, it's a graveyard for us. Still nightmares of Mayebi chucking one in there and that's when we had a great team. Mullin usually does well against them so I fancy him for a goal tomorrow if nothing else.

Be a red hot atmosphere there tomorrow, can't see us winning but obviously snap your hand off for a point right now.

Atmosphere is pretty shit at EP these days. A load of spoiled, slapped arses started coming now.

Mullin was quiet last year at EP but none of yours had a good game that day. I don't expect players like Mullin, McLean and Lee to be as poor as they were that day. Your back three will be also be compeletely different which is a shame because Barry and Olaofe rinsed Tozer, Boyle and Hayden last season.

 

[Master D]

Lee for one is a different player away from the Racecourse. If he's on the bench tomorrow then there wouldn't be too many complaints from our fanbase.

Been a seriously great player for us but at his ceiling now and not having too much impact on games up here, especially away.

Tozer and Boyle rinsed themselves last season, they didn't cope at all.

It may be in the home ends but you can make a proper racket in that little away end, it was a very good atmosphere last season from us lot.

I was in the Main Stand for that one (stand opposite) and you were loud.

Can rarely hear away fans from the Cheadle End though. Cheadle End is very loud on its day and has its moments but its moments are becoming less and less.

Would you say Mullin has hit his ceiling also mate?

As for our game tomorrow, “The Fosse Way Derby” is still the best named game in football. None of this “El Clasico” malarkey.

Would be over the moon with 3 points, but can’t see past a score draw. Lincoln are a very decent side, decent players etc. And with us missing Niskanen, Magennis & Doyle, it’ll be a tough ask.

2-2.

Yes definitely. I think he could have scored at Championship level a few years ago because he was so good but he is struggling to find space at this level and he's lost a yard as well I think after his injury and operation.

Still think he'll end up on about 15 goals this season eventually which is ok. Having him contracted until 2027 looks a bit fanciful at the moment but he's got legendary status at the club whatever happens.
