We look to make it back-to-back wins at the weekend, as we travel to in-form Stockport County.

Victory over Gloucester last Saturday saw us move back into the play-off places, as we picked up our second win at Blackwell Meadows.

Stockport have been on a fantastic run of late having moved up to seventh in the league just three points behind ourselves. They have won four of their last five league games, but fell to defeat at Brackley in the FA Trophy on Tuesday night.

In the league so far they have won five of their twelve home games and haven’t lost at home since a defeat to Bradford PA in November.

Our last trip to Edgeley Park was during the 2011/12 season, when we won a dramatic game 4-3, and we beat them 2-1 earlier in the season.
