Last time out we lost 2-1 at home. A late goal from Bojan in injury time gave us a little consolation. Their first goal came from a penalty scored by Ollie Norwood in first half injury time, the second from Odin Bailey in the 78th minute (his only league goal this season). They'd been down to 10 men since the 53rd minute when Tyler Onyango had been sent off after receiving a second yellow.. It never seems to be an advantage for us when we're playing against 10.  Huh 
The "highlights"
~~~
Having come up as League Two champions in 2024, the Hatters had a good run in League One last season, finishing 3rd. They're following that up this year, too; still in the top 6. 
~~~
They've been playing at Edgeley Park since 1902.

Sky dictates we're kicking off early. Still, not far to go for this one so shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience to anyone but the lunchtime drinkers.

No preview from Dave Challinor yet but there is some team news; 4th highest goal scorer Nathan Lowe has been recalled by Stoke.
In comes Josh Stokes on loan from Bristol City ; an attacking midfielder.
The current squad includes familiar names Ollie Norwood and that little runt Jack Hunt.

Stockport is home to Strawberry Studios which sadly closed in the 90s. I don't think the building is used for anything exciting now but The Smiths did record there. This song may reflect the mood of some of you, though. Enjoy.  Wink

Nice one, Amelia. Thumb up

I think this game will be very much at risk of postponement. The weather forecast isn't good, minus two overnight and they don't have undersoil heating.

Nice bit about Strawberry Studios though. I didn't know that.

No Leo on Saturday by looks of it. Seems like he is being sold to Middlesbrough
Another day, another door, another high, another low
