That was so frustrating! First half nothing seemed to separate both teams and when we got to HT at 0-0 I thought we've got a real chance of getting something here. 2nd half I missed there first goal so can't comment as I was getting a pastie and a drink for my sister (her first ever football match, doubt she'll be a convert).
Our defence is woeful, we don't close down players when they are on the ball and let them overrun us and allow them space to create opportunities. The midfield can't seem to string passes together and give possession away cheaply. The forwards today weren't clinical enough and wasted the opportunities that we did create (which weren't many). We were outplayed, outthought and outfought by Stockport who seemed to up the tempo, pace and took control of the game after going ahead 1-0.
We had players shooting from ridiculous range and angles that didn't even seem to trouble their goalkeeper. We wasted set-pieces and the only best chance of the 2nd half we had was when Rowley ran down Stockport's left hand side (they were vulnerable their) and crossed the ball in and their keeper pulled off a decent save.
Could not believe that we took off Boden for Weir. We were 1-0 down! Why take off a striker for a midfielder? The mind boggles it really does. When your 1-0 down and looking for a goal wouldn't you take off a midfielder and put another striker on? play as a 4-3-3.
Only positive out today was Derbyshire beat Lancashire in the T20 to reach the quarter-finals.
