Hit the bar again fffffs

Merrington getting even more excited by James this time, who by all accounts, has had a stormer so far

Took us a little while to settle down, but from about 30mins onwards we have absoloutley dominated and dictated the game. Midfield sounds like it has given us that platform we have lacked in the earlier games this year. If we play like we have done, then we will get more goals.

lambo to take it................. .....lambo scores!!!

Penalty saints

Great chance for us, Saga header cleared for a corner. corner in - but cleared.

ref's a homer

Hasn't sounded pretty at all, Stockport dominating the majority of this half.

Our attempts at counter attacking are embarrassing. The key with counter attacking is pace...we break at walking bloody pace.

and another

Frustrating - we started well, but Stockport have just got hold of the game and are controlling it now. Should have been a foul on Mellis there though tbf

4th corner, stockport really turning it up on us now

and another corner...

stockport corner

''Lallana drives down the left wing, right to the byline'' wow

Sounds like a close game so far, stockport have had the better opening so far...but our midfield sounds much more competitive.

where did you hear that? i'd be chuffed with that tbh

I doubt our ability to bring in any perm. signings now, but we'll still be out there for loan deals and free's (Jaidi) and for JohnB - the window closes at 5pm on Tuesday.

If you look at Rasiak's time here, i think you'll find that we actually recouped almost the entire £2m for him His loan fee to Bolton was at a fee of 250k, with 600k if they stayed up (they did - but he came back anyway) Then he went to Watford for a season, that would have included a loan fee i'm sure, probably not any higher than 100k though. So, we've recouped about 1.45m from the £2m. Not bad if you look at it that way. Also we only paid 1.5m up front for Greg....500k was paid as part of the loan fee to have him for the 2nd half of the season.

Seems like he's got a bit more mobility that Rasiak tbf

Tom Craddock

He hasn't paid off their debts, he's ''absorbed'' them himself, which is why it's so cheap. So in reality, they're still in debt. - just structured and taken on in a different way.

Where's the link to the article you've pasted?
