Hate to criticise this team after the season we’ve had. Couple of moments stood out for the wrong reasons, otherwise it was a pretty assured Boro performance.
As I said below, Phillips didn’t need to play backwards there. Put Pidge in a no win position. The mix up after was avoidable but so was the entire scenario that led to it.
Kemp needed to do much better with that break. Seemed to play for the penalty. Pass the ball, take a shot. No excuses there for being greedy and holding on to the ball for too long. These are huge moments in the context of the tie. Can get away with it across a league campaign, could be very significant over the course of two legs.
Breakspear has been worse but still wanted to be the main character.
Otherwise they were in no way dominant. We did what we do and the goal will hopefully galvanise rather than demoralise. Their keeper is suspect and they’ve got a centre forward at centre back, we perhaps didn’t make the most of that but we’ve got another 90 minutes to turn things around. Up the Boro!

Can someone tell me what happened? I couldn’t see very well from the ET. Piergianni lost the ball then their no. 20 running through fell over. What happened after that?

Our players seemed to stop, maybe expecting a whistle. Marschall could have cleaned it out.
Their player just got a poke on it and it rolled in almost in slow motion.

Thanks. I couldn’t see their player coming in. Seems like our players didn’t either!

I’d say Pidge can make up for it on Wednesday but that would require at least 1 (one) singular decent delivery from Harvey unfortunately.

Phillips threw him under the bus. Didn’t need to turn around and play back towards our own goal there.
These things happen. It’s a gut punch but it’s only half time.

We need to go up two gears from today and we can do it. But Stockport are a good side and if they play as well as they did in the second half we won't get a look in.

Kind of have nothing to lose now. Stockport might be more nervous than us, be interesting to see how they approach the game. Will they try to kill the tie off early on or play safe?
We kept some of their better players quiet today like Barry. Though Norwood who I think was missing when we played them in the league was very good. If they themselves play better than today, which I think they certainly can, then it's a tall order.
But we do have some good footballers and if they can get in the game, there's still a chance. Just need to lose the nerves, not worry and play freely. Might see a few changes to the starting lineup or formation.

That's the absolute worse goal we've given away all season. 4 of them and no one deals with it.
What a sickener.
Terrible way to lose such an important game.
If Stockport had scored a normal goal I couldn't have begrudged it too much as they looked a bit better than us but to give it away in the last minute like that. Unbelievable.
Have to go there and win now then!

I feel like we haven’t conceded a goal this stupid since playing in the conference.
Now Stockport can stick 11 behind the ball on Wednesday night. Fun times.

We only need one. I’m still hopeful. I thought we played quite well today against a very good team. Just a complete lapse of concentration right at the end

They enjoyed more possession but threatened very little. Defences dominated.
Our subs (the exact 3 I wanted) didn't make an impact this time.
We only have to score 1
We've done that a lot this season.
And keep yet another clean sheet.
Penalties anyone?

That's not how Stockport play.
But I can't see us scoring more than them there.
So, so annoying

If the Stockport players wanted a Stevenage shirt so badly why don't they just go to the shop rather than trying to rip them off the players?

OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR, poetic justice that, should not have been in the play offs in the first place, now lets hope the other hatters can finish the job at their place 🙂

Imagine being in the Premier League two years ago and not being able to make the League One play-offs having had forty six games in which to do it with all that parachute payment money.
