Tuesday 5 November fixtures

[thewwfc]

Well, only a couple of games on tomorrow, both rescheduled as a result of international call-ups.

The still managerless Burton face Crawley, themselves still in the new manager honeymoon period (ish? Does it count as a honeymoon if you take a couple of pastings?).

We take a first trip to Edgeley Park in 14 years (knew it had been a while, but blimey) - and even though our team and manager will be entirely different from any Wycombe side that’s previously visited, Stockport fans believing in the powers of football voodoo will be delighted to note that we’ve never won there in multiple attempts.

Whilst we’re fairly free-scoring, Stockport’s best chance is to capitalise on our somewhat leaky defence, since we play a pretty open attacking game.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Can we get our first win? Maybe.
But I’m still not convinced. Good going forward but still dreadful at the back.
1-1 draw.

What a Blue Square fixture that is, by the way.

And it's either going to be exactly that, or a classic.

First time I saw Crawley v Burton it was a Southern Premier game. Burton had to move into the Northern Premier to get promoted to the Conference. Their manager at the time said of the move (I paraphrase) At least we will not have to go to Crawley any more. Good ol' Nigel Clough. I try to remind him of it whenever I see him.

Not had a new manager bounce but I'm hoping with done some more work on defending set pieces.

They say they are crap at defending, we are crap at defending. Got to be 0-0.

If it’s 0-0 it suits you more than us.
I reckon orsi will score. But don’t worry, our comedy conference north defending will give you a parting of the Red Sea chance to score.

Just signed Connel Trueman from Millwall as an emergency keeper loan for 7 days. We had him previously for an international break game or two. Could be interesting as it is thought he will be released by Millwall at the end of the Season

First choice concussed on Saturday, back up injured for a while and we have Jasper Shiek who's a young kid who has never started a professional game.

Me tonight when we get dunked on with a couple of Wycombe set pieces, lose 2-0 but win the possession

I fancy you to turn them over tonight........A couple of sending offs would be nice

 

[Super_horns]

Well Wycombe are already 2 up..

Once again you prove just how knowledgable you are about football pal.

give you that one

 

[AdamStag]

Least it’s one of those games where you can go the bar at halftime and stop there, if not already there.

 

[Master D]

Barely won a game since August, this is the biggest team talk of Challinor's career coming up here.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Absolute holocaust here.

That I am. Some lovely fireworks on view in the environs

 

[CTFC - Devils]

That’s 45 minutes I’m never getting back.

 

[ForzaCounty]

I'll swap you

 

[Luke Imp]

I can't imagine a midfield that includes Diamond, Bate and Fiorini are getting stuck in or are offering any physicality whatsoever.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Stockport seem to do ok against teams towards the bottom, anyone up top they massively struggle. They looked poor against us. That being said, I thought Wycombe would do alright this season but they are on fire.

 

[thewwfc]

well, despite the scoreline, we've switched off quite badly at points, and have made some honking errors which we're lucky that Stockport haven't punished harder.

Shit defending from them though.

Harsh...I think we were sixth when they beat us!

Anyway Jesus Christ, that's some bumming they're taking. Wycombe actually the real deal then?!

 

[Casey]

Tonight is the first time I've watched Crawley on TV this season. We look dreadful.

I can't praise a single player out there.

I can't praise the commentators either. The player on the left of our back 3 is called Barker. Get it right man.

[Pilot_Phonic]

Stockport saving themselves to hammer us.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Wycombe very clinical if unspectacular. County look like absolute strangers. Nobody comes out of this with any credit

 

[Casey]

If both these teams don't start in league 2 next season there will need to be some serious investments in the squads.

[Bartonyellow]

Listen. We are down. I’ve already accepted it.
And so have the fans given the fact no fucker turned up tonight.
And im one of them. I couldn’t be arsed.

 

[northstandexile]

So are Wycombe better than Birmingham or Stockport sinking like a stone and will be lucky to survive relegation.

Surely Wycombe do, no?

 

[SF_]

Is that Richard Kone as good as he seems?

Crazy record in non-league.

No, we're not. Obviously we can't afford the calibre of player that they can.

But we've got a better overall quality of squad than we've ever had in the past - we could rotate pretty much our entire squad and still put out a competitive XI for this level, which we've never been able to do before.

Still early days of course and there's still plenty of teams right on our tails.
