FT: STOCKPORT 1 - 1 CARDIFF. Match thread

[PhyllisStant]

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.

Think I'd play Willock over Ashford on recent form. It'll be interesting to see if Robertson is ft if he displaces Colwill Jnr. Nice having options for a change! 3-1 City. Two from Sarlech and a debut screamer for Kellyman

[Joe Gillis]

Chambers ��

[Hilts]

Has to be injuries fitness concerns for that defence.

[Wash DC Blue]

Mental that day ! Phil Stant wanted to fight everyone on the pitch too 😂. The police dogs were getting a bit feisty too!

Is that 94 first game of the season?
I went up that day if so and didn’t get there till half time due to traffic on the M6.

[Former Labour leader]

I can understand Kpakio and Lawlor being rested after their international exertion, but it is a surprise to see Ng and Chambers back. Could alter the whole tempo of the side.

Lawlor has been ill apparently

[Jamsarnie]

Lawlor has been ill apparently

I think we’ll see plenty of squad rotation too over the next month given the amount of games we’ve got.

Don’t like seeing the break up of that Fish-Lawlor partnership though.

[Don Corleone]

It’s a worry that we’re back to the defence of last season . Bit worried about those players playing out from the back! Hopefully they’ve been practicing under BBM !

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Just had a bet on Stockport scoring 3

[chris lee]

Good management of the youngsters, they haven't been in training, and done a lot of travelling. The senior players should also be motivated to deliver and not be left behind after a great start to the season without them.

[A Quiet Monkfish]

This might be the one where we're all brought down earth. It's been an exhilarating opening 6 games, but maybe a bit of reality is heading our way. I hope not, but so far I've found it difficult to figure out just how good we are and how strong/weak this league is.

[ToTaL ITK]

We have had a fair bit of luck...late goals , ref on our side but that's because they get a lot of hospitality in the principality. Most of the other grounds resemble a pissoir with a deck chair thrown in.

[Jamsarnie]

This is a great test for us. Stockport may well have got promoted last season if Birmingham hadn’t stupidly been in League 1.

Probably take a point right now. Maybe that’s just prematch nerves.

[ToTaL ITK]

We do beg your pardon but we are in your garden....but not doing much in our half so far.

[bluesp]

Every time Colwill jnr tries to run forward he gets blocked off, maybe the referee might want to give us something at some point?

[Heathblue]

We are getting nothing from the ref.

[Hilts]

Another wanker shit ref. We are going to have players losing it and getting sent off. Salech and Ashford literally getting wrestled to the floor.

[Wash DC Blue]

Struggling a bit with this camera angle.
It reminds me of a strange camera angle on FIFA.

Stockport look very organized so far.

[Sparticus_Mills]

Is anyone able to get this on their old wireless set? I'm getting the Swansea game on both FM and MW.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Ref not going to call fouls then?

Chambers not going to challenge their players in the air then?

[Hilts]

Stockport hit the post. Should have scored.

[LA Bluebird]

Another shit ref, Chambers is so slow and gets beat in the air every time, no clue what BBM has seen there with Osho and Lawlor on the bench.

[lincoln blue]

Me too, BBC Wales are getting even worse!

[LA Bluebird]

Ref not going to call fouls then?

Chambers not going to challenge their players in the air then?

He's not even fast enough to get there, total liability
