That phrase genuinely has been one of the reasons that I now care less about football than I used to. It's just behind false nine and anything about first or second phase. Absolutely nonsensical when you think about it. And that fan debate on the Overlap. Bedroom managers. Dreadful human beings. ....felt like therapy that. Thanks, Nik. 'Double pivot' for me; still don't know what it means. Central midfield pairing usually in a 4-2-3-1. I guess it's called a pivot as the attacking 4 and defensive 4 sort of move around it either side and the holding mids sort of sit to protect the 4 in defence or build attacks, but football teams don't rotate so it doesn't really make sense.

Fierce debate on their Board about whether Stockport is a shithole after the same comment about Blackpool from here being posted. Their Board is very active but they start a new thread for everything - it's horrific.

Their Board is very active but they start a new thread for everything - it's horrific. Not sure why they’re that surprised that we’re looking on there for their current views on the team. Also, if any of them read this, we won’t be wondering why Apter might be doubled up on. We know how good he is after playing Tranmere twice last season! Another thing I love is other teams saying we’ve been nowhere for years. Incorrect - we’ve been on a hell of a journey and here we are now at the same level yet again 😘

Critchley sounds a lot like Rusk too.
Going into Saturday seeing it as a bit of a "free hit" myself. We're not expected to win (which has been very rare for league games lately), with injury issues and going against a side with an excellent home record.
Some of how they play could suit us and that first goal will be key. Turn the home crowd and excite our 4k and we'll be in business, but it's just nice for playing these sort of games on the regular.

They quite often rotate the play from there though.

Not sure if this has been posted here yet, but it's worth a bump regardless. Not me but a great cause and top effort raising £4,500 so far. "We are 4 passionate Stockport County fans. It was Ian who came up with the idea to walk (yes walk!) the 85km from Edgeley Park to Bloomfield Road in aid of men's mental health charity, Mentell. To add to the difficulty of this challenge, the 2024/25 League 1 fixture list has been unkind enough to place the Stockport County vs Blackpool game in the middle of the warmest month of the year in the UK, August (which, let’s face it, will mean that it is bound to chuck it down 😂). Nevertheless, come rain or shine, we will be walking the streets of Greater Manchester and Lancashire, starting our challenge at Edgeley Park at 8am on Friday 16th August, taking a short break / recover around Preston for the night before completing the final leg of the journey aiming to arrive at Bloomfield Road in plenty of time for kick off on the Saturday 17th August."justgiving.com/page/stockportcountyfc-blackpoolfc-trek-2024

Its not helping my mental health refereing to it being 85km from Edgeley Park to Bloomfield Rd rather than the 50 odd miles it is. Lets leave km till the road signs are put in them.

I love the back on the grass especially when teams train or play on an antificial surface.
