Match

Chastening afternoon for Stockport County

A 1‑4 beating by Millwall was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

Bailey Cadamarteri asks to leave Stockport County

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Michael Phillips keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Stockport County may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at Stockport County

Bailey Cadamarteri and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Stockport County

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Daniel Iversen was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Patrick Dorgu reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Braian Cuello at his very best

Marked 8.15. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Stockport County.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Stockport County dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Stockport County are still strangers to each other

9 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief
