Just watching the Stockport v Bolton cup match, the whole Stockport side look like they would run through walls for the cause! Give nothing up, back out of nothing, fight for their lives, show they really care !! All after going two nil down early doors. It took me a while to put a name to the magic ingredient. It was SPIRIT ! Watching PNE every week its a long time since I have seen it !!!

If you think our side show the above on a consistent basis, I would have to disagree.

I was just pointing out that we saw, from our side, what we saw from Stockport a couple of weeks ago.

I should also point out that, like us, county are on 21 points and 5 points away from the play offs. It seems that they dont do this consistently either.
 
What have they ( County ) got to lose by Throwing the Kitchen Sink?
Meanwhile, Bolton could have a good run and come up in the P.O.'s -
and join us in the Champ.

To be fair Noel, first half they could have caved in after going 2 down so early.
Agree with the OP, What they did though was knuckle down and play creative football, Stockport were good on the Night and deserved it.

I wish we could show even half of that passion aligned with the skill we have.
 
It was like watching a Sunday League match. Fast, frenetic, end to end, giving the ball away constantly, shocking defending and goalkeeping, bouncing off shins and kicking the ball anywhere (mostly up in the air).

What a game though, bloody loved it. Atmosphere was brilliant. And yes, spirit by the bucket load.

I can see were you’re coming from diggerb but my conclusion is that it’s not spirit it’s something else.
We have now a set formation that relies on a nucleus of about 12 players to be fit.
When those 12 are available I think we are a match for anyone in the top half.
Unfortunately when some are not available the rest of the squad are either not good enough or don’t suit the system.
 
All three of those are desireable.

But there are only two things that set a great team apart from a mediocre one.
  1. Belief.
  2. Consistency.
 
Aitch is right in his views in relation to How-a-Minnow-should-Set Up
against-a-Giant. Blood & Thunder,
instead of Parking-the-bus-and-
fingers-crossed-we-nick-one / Hang
in there for Penalties.
Now, ok we ARE in a different, superior Professional League than
SCFC ,so our team has more skills &
technique , but the next time we play a Prem. team in a Cup game,
l would love to see 'em go for it.
And the Deepdale crowd would respond in kind.
That lot on the Bill Shankley.....the Town End sang the truth;- They only sang when they were winning.....

Ok okok I know we nearly got one in

Exactly my thoughts. Same with Scotland the other night.
