We played a friendly there in July 2007.
Robbie Fowler turned up, but did not play, having signed for us the week before.
Re-read the match details and noticed Anthony Pilkington scored against us.
Stockport lost 4-2 on the road to Plymouth in quite a surprise, as we thumped Plymouth 4-0 our previous game. Stockport, at their place, are going to be a lot tougher than Plymouth at the CCS though, they're well above dark horses and have the Wrexham effect of being a club on the rise. This is a game we've got to dig deep to win, but the Plymouth game gives me hope that three points is possible. This is also a game where even a tie is not a bad result either, but we should be looking to avoid defeat here as Stockport have looked vulnerable.
Trott
Kpakio-Lawlor-Osho-Bagan
Wintle
Colwill Brothers
Ashford-Salech-Kellyman
2-1 win prediction, goals from Salech and a Kellyman debut winner.
I doubt Kellyman will start, I suspect he won’t be match fit yet and they’ll ease him into the side. Besides Willock is in very good form at the moment so he will definitely start. I can see Osho starting , probably alongside Lawlor but if he starts for Wales again tomorrow against Canada maybe he’ll be rested and Fish plays insteadQuote:

Was this the one when someone swallowed their tongue and there was a big delay. Lot of City
Yeah, probably the right call regarding Kellyman, Willock should be rewarded for playing well past few games and Kellyman might not be fully ready to start. And you're right about Lawlor's start depending on if he plays vs Canada.Quote:

Agree about not breaking up a successful partnership, but why wouldn’t Osho be match fit?Quote:

He last played on the 28th August, when he started the game against Nice.Quote:

So yeah, he shouldn't be far off match fitness.
Thought you were going to say he went in goals. That other string to his bow would have been a very handy asset.Quote:

Hopefully he’ll be fine.
I think that was my first ever away game. Was it the first match of the season and we lost 4-1?Quote:

Cardiff City have lost just one of their last 11 league games against Stockport County (W3 D7), despite outscoring their opponents by just one goal across those 11 matches (16 for, 15 against).
Stockport have lost three of their last five league games when facing a side above them in the standings at kick off (W1 D1), as many defeats as across their prior such 22 matches before combined.
No side has kept more clean sheets in League One this season than Cardiff (5), with it the first time they’ve kept five across their opening six league games in a season in club history.
Big performance needed today. County will be well up for this after their drubbing last time.
1-4 To The Blooobirds :thumbup:
