Some squad disciplinary matters
So the inquest into the Solihull defeat is underway. First order of business was to fine Charnock for his second sending off of the season.
I was a little surprised he had the audacity to think it was harsh but there you go. He will miss two games now due to...
Stockport County 2-4 Solihull Moors (FA Carlsberg Trophy Fourth Qualifying Round)
Now the league is in a decent position, it's an ideal time to take a break and look a different competition. The FA Carlsberg Trophy is realistically not a competition we can win this year. I'm not saying we can't...
Brendon Windsor
After the Histon game Brendon Windsor wanted a chat.
He wants more first team football. This happens to be a happy coincidence as I was debating whether to give more starts to Turner or Windsor in lieu of Dennis. This has forced my hand slightly but Windsor would have been the...
Oxford City 1-3 Stockport County (Skrill North)
Now that we are back to winning ways we take the roadshow to Oxford City.
The centre back roulette continues. The two centre backs from the Histon game dropped out in their places came Charnock and Tunnicliffe. Fagbola didn't recover...
Histon 2-4 Stockport County (Skrill North)
So after the disappointment of losing our unbeaten league record it's now time to get back on the horse and get back to winning ways. This time it's an away day to Histon.
There's was a single change in the line-up with Charnock serving a...
FA Carlsberg Trophy Fourth Qualifying Round draw
The FA Carlsberg Trophy fourth qualifying round draw was made and it placed us at home against fellow Skrill North side Solihull Moors.
Solihull have not had a great start to the season and find themselves in danger of being cut adrift at...
Stockport County 0-1 AFC Telford (Skrill North)
Due to Histons draw in the FA Cup the subsequent replay means our midweek fixture is put back seven days which means our next game is against AFC Telford. It also means fourteen days since our last game so the players can have no fatigue issues...
Sackings,chats and board requests
At this stage there were some managerial casualties within the division. Guiseley and Solihull Moors parted company with Mark Bowers and Marcus Bignott respectively. Guiseley in particular had a bad season and that was confounded by the fact they were preseason...
Stockport County 2-1 Gloucester City (Skrill North)
So another league game rolls around and this time it?s the visit of Gloucester City to Edgeley Park. Gloucester is currently sat in 15th place so form and logic suggests that this should be a comfortable day at the office.
Charnock returns...
Barrow 0-2 Stockport County (Skrill North)
With the trip to Barrow we welcomed back to the starting line up Charnock. New signing Will Roberts will not play a part in this game. His fitness isn't there yet and with another fixture coming up on Saturday he will probably get a nod then but this...
Some Points of administration
We had eleven days before the next fixture so this was an opportunity to factor in a friendly game to look at trailists.
Since my scouting department have been out for a sizable length of time now the knowledge base of players is at a decent standard. One...
Stockport County 1-1 Worcester City (Skrill North)
So after the disappointment of going out of the FA Cup in the week it was back to the day job and a home league game against Worcester City. Worcester have been going pretty well themselves in the league and will not be demoralised coming into...
New Contract for Moke
Adriano Moke's contract reached its three month expiry point so I decided to offer him an extension to the end of the season.
The negotiations were tough since I have absolutely no budget to play with so I tried to barter him down from his initial start point.
In...
Stockport County 2-3 AFC Fylde (FA Cup with Budweiser 2nd Qualifying Round Replay)
After the euphoria of a last minute equaliser against Fylde we are handed a second chance to go through. We get an opportunity to start from scratch and not have to chase and with our bigger and ultimately more...
AFC Fylde 2-2 Stockport County (FA Cup with Budweiser 2nd Qualifying Round)
It's a little change of pace to get a run out in the FA Cup. Fylde are a division lower than us so I expect to get a result here.
In terms of selection I opted to play the now fit Adriano Moke back in his position...
