Match

Benoný Breki Andrésson sends Stockport County through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Benoný Breki Andrésson obliged against Gillingham. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Stockport County.

Squad

Harley Windsor damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings

Robert James could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.82

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.82, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Match

Stockport County leave it late against Gillingham

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 87th, and Gillingham spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Player ratings

Benoný Breki Andrésson, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.77

A mark of 7.77 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Stockport County

Oliver Norwood was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Benoný Breki Andrésson

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Malik Mothersille runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Corey Addai gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Harley Windsor

28 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Stockport County lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Oliver Whatmuff is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Lewis Bate falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tanto Olaofe

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Stockport County find a way past Barnsley

Barnsley made Stockport County work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Malik Mothersille in the eights

A performance of 8.26 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Jack Diamond in the eights

A performance of 8.03 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Stockport County pick somebody else ahead of Corey Addai

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

The terraces

The spotlight tightens on Oliver Norwood

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Harley Windsor damages knee ligaments — 36 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 36 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

4 matches without a win for Stockport County

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Stockport County are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jack Diamond

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Stockport County training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lewis Bate is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Stockport County and Kyle Wootton are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Corey Addai dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Tanto Olaofe

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Lewis Bate in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Stockport County this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Arttu Hoskonen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Stockport County pick somebody else ahead of Corey Addai

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Stockport County and AFC Wimbledon take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Kyle Wootton finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Stockport County have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

In brief
