" A late goal that could be huge "

That could be a massive late goal by Yousef Salech come the end of the season.

As sign of a strong team is not playing well but still getting a result. We just did that.

We are still unbeaten and we are still top of the league :bluebird:





The performance wasn't great but in the same way I didn't go big on a 4-0 win in our last game, I won't be overreacting to this performance.

We weren't at our best but you have to give credit to Stockport. They did everything well.

Stockport finished 3rd last season and will be in the top six again.

It still stands that we haven't conceded a league goal from open play.

We are still in a good place - top of the league after seven games, with a game in hand. And unbeaten.

So I'm not going to go into panic mode and I'm delighted we got something from the game.

Would have taken a point from that game before kick off.

Well said, Ned! :thumbup:

Keeps the momentum going, provides confidence, and proves they can come back from adversity! :ayatollah:

Fair summary there Worcester.

Have to agree with what you say.

Remaining undefeated is massive for us and hopefully BBM is learning more about his players as the season progresses.

Hopefully he's learning that Chambers should not start at centre back!

Lawlor was superb when he came on.

Him and Turnbull changed the game, all of a sudden we were playing as we have been.

Thought Stockport were excellent for the first 75 minutes.

Great to salvage a draw in the end

I totally agree with this

Huge goal and the passion from both players and fans when it went in was amazing players jumped into the fans limbs everywhere it just felt like a huge goal and makes my trip home that much more enjoyable

I agree. I also think Kpakio coming on improved our possession and distribution to move the ball forward.

I’m a big fan of what Joel can bring.

But turbull is the final cog of that midfield right now baring Robertson getting fit and in form.

He’s so composed on the ball and can direct play with his range of passing. For me he needs to play if fit.

Playing Chambers and Ng was the problem for me.

Ng has been awful since he downed tools under Bulut because he loaned out his mate Wintle.

Chambers should be nowhere near that Centre Half position because he’s not good enough to play the way BBM wants him to. We should have pulled Wrexhams pants down in the summer and let him go there. He’s a reserve DM now, nothing more

Today just showed for me that we’re a far better side without either of them in it

As for our defence we still haven't conceded a goal from open play - just two penalties

Completely agree.
Wouldn’t surprise me after that performance, if that’s the last we see of Chambers starting there.

Willocks cross was top drawer! Just saw it back. What a great start to the season he's had.

I'm about it being top draw when it left his foot I thought it was just going to be an easy clearance for the first man. Stockport completely switched off. He does look a different player this season though and put in another good performance yesterday

Wonder if Kellyman and Osho will get game time v exeter.

I genuinely worry about Chambers.

That late goal yesterday - as important as the one we got away at AFC Wimbledon ( 90+2 ) .
