Title: Stockport County v Swindon Town FA Cup, pre match chat & match day thread
Post by: ChalkyWhiteIsGod on Monday, October 31, 2022, 15:10:06
Do the non televised ifollow games get made available through ifollow either here or abroad? Was hoping to watch from home but I don't think will be able to.

Would expect to see some squad rotation here and as long as we're competitive and play ok, then not overly bothered by the result as much as a cup run would be nice.

Doesn't look like we're taking many based on the last ticket office tweet

Not televised at all. Suspect Lindsey views this as a bit of a free hit. He’ll stick with the formation that blitzed Mansfield and hope for a similar outcome whereby we score more than we let in.

When does Williams join up with Wales? I’d leave him out of this game, play Darcy in the 10 role and replace Darcy with Reed. Hopefully Tim Brooke Taylor is back. Brennan has impressed given his chance.

Could be a chance for Roberts, too - cracking header when he came on.

Can’t believe we can have players with the quality of Reed to come on off the bench.

No need for wholesale changes with a free week before & after, unless someone has been carrying a niggle etc and assuming that the loanees will be allowed to play.
Hopefully any changes from Saturday will be kept within the regular matchday 18, so wouldn't want to see a Trophy type lineup.

Considering the end result last season, the FA Cup needs be taken seriously.
Given that there are only 2 league games in November & both at home, then fitting a replay in shouldn't be an issue either.

Just waiting on revised train timetable tomorrow before deciding on whether to make the trip.
No guarantee that it will even be possible.

I really like the FA Cup despite the fact that it became totally devalued with the advent of the Premier League bollocks. It really pisses me off when even the crappier end of the pyramid put out weakened teams. The City game last season was one of the highlights of the season and a good little earner for the club.

I shall be going on Saturday because i am totally committed in my support for the club and it's only 10 miles from home.

Stockport have been decent recently so it should be a good open game between two form teams. I'd hope to see a full strength team for this one.

Stockport 1-1 Swindon

The big stand behind the goal should be the size we aim for the new Townend in my opinion but with more bells and whistles.

Due to the rail shenanigans the earliest I can get to Stockport today would be about 09:30 tomorrow!
So, sadly no partaking in the first round either in the pub or from the stands today.
Have a feeling that we'll be reconvening at the CG to settle this one.

Looks like Jonny Williams will be available next Saturday as well.
Easier to replace in a 433 than a 442 diamond.
Will SL try out a replacement in-game or play him and then sort it out on the training ground.
Could Reed be a surprise option in that role in the current formation, think he has a lot more to his game than just picking it up from the CB's.
We'll see.

Talking of wages, apparently if you listen to Stockport fans Johnnie Williams is on 4k per week and also been injured recently :)

Quote
He has been injured and wants to be available for the World Cup and as it’s worth a lot of money to his club if he plays for Wales - he might not be risked tomorrow

Best player I have seen in League 2 this year. Welsh international and being paid £4k a week. We need to put the shackles on him tomorrow if we are going to progress to the next round.

I'd be surprised if Jonny Williams wasn't our highest earner to be fair. £4k sounds a bit much, but maybe after bonuses and that.

I doubt hes on anywhere near that as he was signed last season when we had a wage cap of about £1,500 or so and hes not signed a new contract just a contract extention at the end of the season.

Which genuinely surprises me as pre game and all through the season he has stated he wants to win all the games but some team selections do bemuse at times.

Not so much today as the only player I would have started was probably Gladwin if hes fit and not injured.

But it sounds like we are all over the shop in defence, as ever Baudry has a couple of mistakes in him every game. We have badly missed FBT and Clayton.

Not really any difference between the defensive performances though. Going forward obviously a different story.

I keep saying we concede a boat load of chances every game and could get pumped or could have been pumped and people are incredulous every time, even after a thread showing that we statistically concede more chances than anyone in the league.

We're defensively fucking abysmal and the only thing saving us most games other than are decent attack and keeper are most of the teams we're facing need close to 20 chances to score 1 or 2.

Today is just we're facing a team that can hit a barn door and its finally showing.

I dont think Iandolo is a left back in any way shape or form, we need a solid left back which FBT is, so yes on that one.

Clayton is a good quick CB who is good on the ball and rarely makes a mistake, so yes on that one.

Gladwin creates a lot of chances for us, hes out most creative player alongside Williams, so thats a yes on that one.

Reed is a mere shadow of the player he was last season so far this season, maybe its time he moved on as his body language just doesnt look righton the pitch.

I am happy if he stays and is used as a sub in games but hes by no means the regular starter he was last season where he was the 1st name on the teamsheet, he is no longer that.

Great win and hope they get a good second round draw.

So disappointing, I agree, I was so glad we got him for another year pre season.

Our defence needs a more solid midfielder like khan who is capable of tackling and offering cover.  I really so no place for Reed this year and he should be shipped off to Charlton.  His distribution hasn’t been great and he doesn’t protect the back two so is a luxury we cannot afford.

Back down to earth with a bump today.  Gladwin has been so influential this year dropping him was always going to upset the balance.  Possibly no choice due to all the head injury protocols these days which also is likely the extended delay on FBT

Well done the Nam.

Need to bin the Black and White away kit. Bookies must have known something as they were offering very generous odds of 3/1 for Town away win (after our superb away win against a promotion contender). Ah well let’s concentrate  on the league.

Soaking wet, just stood and watched a complete shambles in front of me.
Baudry an absolute liability today, Clearly play on deck and run at him just no longer has the speed.

Reed sitting in front of the defence with Khan playing further up the field may have been more rewarding. Jephcott and Wakeling never had any service.
Was more about how shite we were compared to how good Stockport were.

What a bump from last Saturday, time to write that off but I am genuinely concerned with that back line defensively.

I dont think Iandolo is a left back in any way shape or form, we need a solid left back which FBT is, so yes on that one.

Clayton is a good quick CB who is good on the ball and rarely makes a mistake, so yes on that one.

Gladwin creates a lot of chances for us, hes out most creative player alongside Williams, so thats a yes on that one.

Reed is a mere shadow of the player he was last season so far this season, maybe its time he moved on as his body language just doesnt look righton the pitch.

I am happy if he stays and is used as a sub in games but hes by no means the regular starter he was last season where he was the 1st name on the teamsheet, he is no longer that.

Iandolo is not a left back.
Got caught ball watching twice today. Just couldn’t get my head around how poor we were on the ball. At times it looked like 11 v 10.
Got done in the air, at the back post, need FBT back quickly.

If Baudry was that bad perhaps there’s a case to be made in recalling Minturn from Chippenham - had a cracking game by all accounts yesterday v L1 Lincoln.

I was busy all yesterday. So fortunately did not see or listen to any of the game. From the phone alerts I saw we we 0-3 down in what seemed like not very long. Decided to ignore what was happening after that.

From reading back some of this it’s amazing what one result can do to the general mood.

In last weeks thread, STFC were on the march to the autos, squad full of quality, only real worry the Brynn loan situation.

Now suddenly, according to on here, Baudry literally cannot play anymore, and has become a complete liability. Reid is apparently not a good player having a poor run, but just fully shit, and should not be playing at all. Also none of our midfield do any tracking back/protecting the defence. Have I missed anything?

It must have been a truly woeful performance, sorry the the 500+, hopefully will be hardly remembered as a tiny blip on our season in a few months time.

At least the stock has risen for the 3 notable absentees, Gladwin, Clayton and FBT.

Five of the top seven went out yesterday so maybe an indication of where the priorities lie.

If after 23 games we are in the 40's for points then that would be well on track for auto's / playoffs.

A drubbing may have been on the cards given some of the defensive displays, early season in particular.
Might not turn out to be a bad thing if it focuses minds a bit more.

Anyone know how much longer MacDonald is likely to be out for?

Parsons didn’t score, but Minturn had a lovely run through their midfield at one point. Their loans at Chippenham do make the Banbury and Gloucester loans an odd one. I see Dabre is back now too.

That's twice we've missed a reunion with Garner! If only we tried in the cups as it happened when we lost to Wallsall earlier in the season. A bit annoying as we would have taken a lot away to Charlton.

4th Hutton runs in the wrong direction and opens up space for the guy to shoot
