stockport v rotherham

League Two Stockport County
comment on the article

i think this could be a very tough game for both teams. both teams have started well and look like they will b up there at the end of the season!!

with stockport expecting a fair few rotherham fans coming to EP, it could turn out to be a very good atmosphere!

i have also heard that the stockport police have tried to ban certain rotherham under21's from entering the game and the town? if this is true there could be alot of tension nd that could cause a very difficult atmosphere around edgely before and after the game.

and we all no that sum county lads arnt ones to turn down a challenge so i have a feeling things could turn nasty on saturday.

do any rotherham fans no how many they are expecting to bring???

mrposh, you are right, we haven't been scoring and that has been a worry, i think all the goals will come at once though...we may score 4 or 5 in one game and then start scoring more freely every game. we haven't been at our best so far, and hopefully rotherham will be the game

i had rotherham to win this div. it will be tough but i think a 1-0 win for us will do.

We're not firing all cylinders up front yet, Mr Posh. Again, some of the players are still finding their feet in the team. I'm not sure what to make of Rotherham, as the norm is for relegated teams to struggle. We should know. My prediction is 2-1 to County, purely on the grounds of home advantage.
Best of luck for coming season.

Its difficult to predict as I havent seen Rotherham play for a few seasons.

We havent scored a lot of goals but have had tough opposition, Chesterfield were a good team. Add that to Dagenham on the opening game, its always tough against newly promoted sides 1st game of the season so Im not too worried about us scoring yet.

hopefully County can do well, and get a good result.
If the fans can back the team, then we will have a good chance. My Dad has supported Stockport since he was a kid so i'm going to the match with him and hopefully we can see some exciting football.

1000-1500 is typical away support for us. We have always had a decent following on the road. I have fond memories of EP. Picked up a nice 1-0 win there last time I went (Oct 2001). I can see us nicking it again tomorrow. Don't just expect a 'route one' style, we pass the ball much better than a lot of people give us credit for. Look out for the movement from the front two, Holmes & O'Grady, I've been impressed. 2-1 Rotherham is my prediction. I'll be there!

I hope you do bring over 1000, the cash will be most welcome, but I wouldn't expect that many. I predict 2-0 to County.
