Stockport County Looks to Build on First Win of the Season
Stockport County is set to face Blackpool at Edgeley Park in League One, with the Hatters looking to build on their first win of the season. The team won convincingly away at Plymouth Argyle last weekend thanks to goals from Jack Diamond, Kyle Wootton, and Ryan Glover.
What Happened?
Stockport County began their third straight season in Sky Bet League One last weekend, but their first without talismanic Head Coach, Dave Challinor. Challinor was replaced by Rochdale AFC Head Coach Jim McNulty, who had just taken Dale back up into the Football League. McNulty's reign started with a penalty shootout defeat to fellow League One side Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup before the Hatters beat Plymouth 3-1 in Devon to get off to winning ways in the league.
Why It Matters for Stockport County
The team has been busy in the transfer window, with new signings from Barnet, Ryan Glover, scoring in last weekend's win over Plymouth. The standout additions are young goalkeeper Ollie Whatmuff from Man City on loan and striker Mikael Mandron from Scottish side St Mirren. The team's recent form has been 3W-0D-2L (LLWWW, most recent first), with the last two losses.
What Comes Next?
Blackpool's first league trip of the season sees them make the short journey to Edgeley Park to take on Jimmy McNulty's Stockport County. Ian Evatt's side will be looking to build on last weekend's point at home against Wycombe Wanderers. The match is sold out, with 1152 Pool supporters making the trip to back Ian Evatt's Seasiders.
