Saturday 16th November fixtures

[Ellis]

Have a day off. Much the better side as they always are at their place.

Hinchliffe will get lobbed by Mullin for three points at your place anyway it’s written in the stars

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Shouldn't have gone in behind, but fortunate that Barnsley fluffed three high xG opportunities in the second half. Think that's two sides going away with a point, glad it wasn't less but sad it wasn't more.

A good reaction against what are the best side who've visited the Abbey this season.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

After we should have been 3 or 4 up in the first half, we were absolutely shocking in the 2nd half. We were really hanging on in the end, and Crawley should have had a few too.

duplicated

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Much the better side it was only our poor finishing and Wrexham’s keeper that stopped it being a mauling.

I’m sure they will return the favour at the Racecourse and beat us as they always do.

 

[EricSabin]

Tired massively in the last 15 but battled hard for a point. Both teams had good chances to win it, and one that wont go down as a chance but an unbelievable goal saving header from James Husband under his own crossbar.

2 draws from Brum and Blackpool, good battle and spirit shown.

 

[Conker]

Only three goals in L1 today, all in two games.

 

[Casey]

Tale of two halfs.

We were much better second half. Gas were poor.

We could have scored a few goals in the second half. Got to say it would have been a travesty if either side won but some of the misses (from both sides) in that match my grans headstone could have scored.

Always the same, we will do you at the Racecourse no doubt about it. Burton was good as expected, a very capable backup.

 

[thewwfc]

Adam Phillips vs Jack Stevens is going to be a bloodbath.

decent result for Cambridge in the grand scheme of things, if you can keep up recent form you should be all right.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Not exactly a vintage day for L1 was it, three goals in the whole division, glad we could put some good football on today though.

Really should have wrapped that result up long before the final whistle though, given the gulf between performances. Jurassic Parkinson's boys failed to turn up at EP again, I'm not superstitious but there's got to be a reason they barely offer anything here (since that insane Bonfire Night game twenty years ago)

It’s their version of field mill for us

it can change though, we'd never won at Edgeley Park in 12 attempts until the 5-0 the other day...

Win four, draw one, and lose 6-1 would keep us up, so I'll take it!

But yeah, happy with a pint and we may be okay once the injury crisis abates.

Gargantuan league games ahead.

Bring on next Saturday

What happens when all the top sides are off for international duty.

 

[HutchECFC]

At least the next 5 league games get a bit easier… 3rd, 2nd, 1st, 4th & 5th…

Really gonna make our season.

 

[Luke Imp]

I didn't watch our game but just seen the Sky highlights and we've got to put one or two of those chances away and come home with three points.

Watched Stockport vs Wrexham at 3pm and their goal against Mansfield aside, I'm not sure I've seen them have a decent shot in the two games! Might be the end of a squad cycle type scenario, and to be fair I've only seen them twice so perhaps slightly harsh, but there doesn't seem much oomph about them, seemed to be going through the motions a bit in most of the two games.

good man

I actually checked that as was curious, stockport have won in both the FA cup and league cup since, stockport’s last win at mansfield in the league was 1983.

We had a winless record at Aldershot that stretched back to the 60s or something, managed to overturn that on our last visit though. Like I said earlier on this thread, it's not like players scroll through historical results, it's just a quirk.

Exactly, nothing more nothing less.

Football is odd like that

Congrats to stockport on winning the WE BEAT WREXHAM cup!!

It’s great how challenging teams consistently year after year throws up a bit of a rivalry. I get the impression County and Wrexham have got that over the past 5 years and it’s deffo both ways looking in from the outside.
Enjoy it folks it’s great, we had it years ago with Peterborough and they always did us over ( apart from the Barnsley fiasco which was quite funny) but in no way righted them doing us over twice in playoffs.

 

[ForzaCounty]

They keep getting to force a rivalry, bit tiresome IMHO

Spot on. I thought you weren't great, but then again you didn't have to be. We were once again absolutely fucking dog shit. I'm getting sick and tired of watching away performance every other week to be served with shit. Absolute shit and it doesn't change. Not one bit. Makes me laugh there was a shot of our management team and they have about 3000 matches between them, yet they insist of hoofing it at the earliest opportunity where it didn't work for the 300th time. I can remember 1 game in 3 years away from home where we dominated and the scoreline represented it. Other than that, 3 years of absolute shite. I want to call it out, but get rid of PP as we cannot survive playing like we do if we do the unthinkable and go up. We played a poor Blackburn side in recent times and we got absolutely battered.

Burton's debut was impressive, and defo MOTM as he kept it down to 1. Should and could have been a cricket score.

Who do? We don't. I always just assumed it was a small number of fans on both sides. I suspect most don't really give a sh*t.

 

[Stocky]

Challinor's boxed Parky's head off there. You can see why he's rated so highly on the continent.

Wrexham were shite but they always are at our place.

Nothing wrong with bit of rivalry, in what ever form it comes , so many fans run away from the competitive edge certain games throw up . Embrace it , only makes certain games more fun as the will to win is even bigger like a small local rival .

Yep and Stockport have beaten us at Edgeley Park in all fixtures dating back to 1890.
