Tuesday 5 November fixtures

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.

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.
