v Stockport County (a) - 13/8/24 - Carabao Cup

[OsloRover]

Gueye scores from corner, 5-1

[chaddyrovers]

Gueye scores!!1

Good header, good movement from him

[Penwortham Blue]

Nice to see the Big Mac, up and running.

[simongarnerisgod]

big mak towers over the stockport defence and puts in a header past the hapless keeper

[neophox]

Thats the nail in the coffin....Big Mak!

[Tugay-is-God]

Nice he got in on the act too!

[ItsRoverZ]

Maks spin and then shot was nice and unlucky not to score, makes no mistake from the corner though! Knew he would score 

[KentExile]

Just think, the sale of Gally (3 goals last season) more than covered the purchases (and likely also the wages) of Gueye & Ohashi (3 goals in 2 games so far)

Gueye scoring a header!

Gallagher who couldnt jump out injured until September already! Played a blinder with that one. Thank you stoke.

As bad as our set piece defending is, our corners are far more inventive/effective than they've been in years.

Great pass from Buckley to put him through for the shot, then a good corner delivery.

It's so great to see all our new attacking additions on the scoreboard! I hope this form continues throughout the season.

I also hope we score 5 every week.  Might help us sneak play offs!

[ItsRoverZ]

Did mak try finish that or head it back across?!

[OsloRover]

Not sure how we are lining up with three strikers on the pitch. If this team were a band it would be called John Buckley and the Strikers.

Appeared to be in a bit of a strop all evening. Possibly understandable in the circumstances but if he’s still here (touch wood) I expect to see him starting on the weekend.

Thought the same myself and looked quite pissed off. Thought the same on Friday and I spoke to him at half time briefly. I think he wants the move being honest.

Good to see Buckley laying down a marker for a starting place. Weak opposition but he has controlled the game and is my man of the match.

On his day he can offer a more Whartonesque style than Travis or Trondstadt.

The frustration with Buckley isn't ability it's consistently. Over the years he's been coming through and pops up with games where he looks a class above.  He's getting on a bit now and needs to do it week in week out.

the idiots that run the club are going to risk p****s him off badly by not coming to an arrangement with ipswich,who might go elsewhere if this carries on

I think getting £1.5mil for Gally is amazing business considering how prolific he is in front of goal, I reckon if they could offload Dolan too and get a figure would also be good business. Both had the opportunity to step up last season and neither were able to take their chances. L1 standard forwards in my opinion.

[mr bishi]

Gueye can't finish at all. Ohashi has a shot on him though.

[AspRover]

How's Vale looking? Did he learn to run a bit in Scotland?

Honestly think we’re doing the right thing. A penny under £10m is daylight robbery and they’ve already pissed a lot of money up the wall on worse players. Make them pay up.
