Hi Nostradamus here……..I predict that Louis Barry will score the goal that wins the game against Jurassic Parky’s Wrexham, that sends Stockport County into League One….. Come on County!!! I don’t mind if it’s the goal to win us the title, but I really don’t want us to go to the Racecourse needing something for promotion!

Absolutely spot on that. Play the ball into his feet and the centre back has to go through him to get the ball. Stick it in the air and it’s a lottery as to which way the decision goes. Never mind the difficulty of a striker getting the correct direction and pace on a header to a team mate. Kane played far more intelligent balls when he came on which 100% helped our cause. Thats easier said than done as our opponents will do their upmost by pressing to force us to go long. Once thing they cannot do if force us to put a bad cross over if we get a player free to put one across.

Once thing they cannot do if force us to put a bad cross over if we get a player free to put one across. that's a big problem though. We can't cross the ball consistently. The crosses against Salford were awful. When I watched Wrexham vs tranmere and I see Wrexham consistently getting into good areas from crosses. Ours never go between the posts. I also thought Wrexhams players control the ball better than our players. Not necessarily possession but controlling the ball out of the air and Knocking it into areas where team mates are or directly to team mates. When we do it we do it aimlessly and half the time it ends up going out for a throw in All our games this season we have passed between the lines through the middle and with pace (which was massively helped by Barry) but we have enough pace to be able to move the ball quickly enough

One thing was our corners improved at salford where previously our opponents always looked a bigger threat when they had one.

Alot of crosses beat the first man and went past the first post so into good areas. Our crosses vs Salford we completed 1 cross - 5% success rate Wrexham crosses vs tranmere they completed 14 - 29% success rate.
