Match Report

Owls back to winning ways, Sturrock unconvinced

Match Report soon.

Half-time: Stockport 0-1 Owls

Paul Sturrock's post match comments:
"I'm pleased with the result but again at two-nothing we made fundamental errors to allow the other team back into the game. Stockport's best time was the ten minutes after we went to 2-0. We rode our luck and it's very, very scary. We've got to stop that happening. It's costing us game after game."

"Any time we turned Stockport we got joy but all of a sudden we started thinking we were a football team. Too many of the players are not listening what we're trying to preach. At this moment in time we haven't really got the personnel to ensure that if they don't do it there are other people to come in. But sooner or later it will sink in or they're not going to play."

"We had a lot of crosses in the box and a lot of goal attempts. But since I've got here, creating chances has never been a problem to us. It was a good team performance when we had the ball and a better team performance [than previously] when we didn't have the ball."

AnzOwls' verdict: A good result, but a better team would've punished the Owls for a sloppy attitude.
