THE BIG MATCH CLOCKWATCH
Posted on: Mon 12 May 2008
By Ben Campbell
Wycombe 1-1 Stockport
Full-Time - The game has ended in a stalemate here at Adams Park and it probably was a fair result. Facey gave the Wanderers the lead on 37 minutes but a 25-yard volley from Stephen Gleeson means the teams go to Edgeley Park next week all square.
93mins
Good defending from Captain Willo to stop Dickinson having a clear run on goal.
91mins
Franky Fielding was alert that time to stop Pilkington giving Stockport the lead. Fantastic header from Holt to clear the danger.
90mins
There will be 5 minutes of added time. I don't whether to say hold on and we'll take a draw to Edgeley Park or go for it and get the goal. Who am I kidding go for it Wanderers.
89mins
There's about five minutes left including injury-time. Come on the Blues let's shut those Stockport fans up.
88mins
6587 fans have seen this evening's game at Adams Park.
87mins
Facey is being replaced by John Sutton. The ex-Bolton has been brilliant for the Blues and scored a great goal. Good shift Delroy.
85mins
That's five bookings for the Blues now after Craig Woodman has been shown a yellow.
83mins
GOAL. Wanderers 1-1 Stockport. Gleeson has pulled the visitors level and it was a great strike. The 25-yard volley flew past Fielding in the Wanderers goal.
82mins
Stockport are now going to make the sub. Tommy Rowe is coming off for McSweeney.
80mins
Stockport are readying no.14 Leon McSweeney. His is another striker and we will have to see who Gannon decides to bring off.
76mins
The Blues caution tally is up to four now as Russ Martin has been shown a yellow for a poor tackle on Rowe. From the resulting free-kick, Michael Rose blasted the ball into the Blues four-man wall.
74mins
Wanderers now have three very quick attacking options on the field. Facey, Phillips and Knight and if you add the flair of Torres and the quality fo Holt and Oakes we look going forward. Speaking of one of the quick one's, Matty Phillips just back-heeled the ball to Russ and the right-back supplied a great ball into the box. However, unfortunately Knighty couldn't quite get in front of Ruddy.
72mins
McGleish will be replaced by Knight and Phillips will come on for Doherty. Didn't see that one coming but Oakes will go inside and play alongside Holt.
70mins
Double sub for Wanderers. Knight and Phillips are stripped and ready. I think it will be McGleish and Oakes.
68mins
Oakesy has been cautioned for a late challenge on Dickinson. That takes the Blues tally to three - Oakes, Serge and Doc.
66mins
Holty is up for this. He is battling for every ball alongside Doc in the middle of the park and the experienced head of Holt knows this game is heating up.
63mins
From one end to another and this time Gary Holt should have bagged for the Wanderers. Scott McGleish held the ball up excellently after a Russ Martin cross, laid the ball to to Holty but the centre-midfielder curled his shot wide from 20 yards.
62mins
Stockport should have been level. Dickinson beat Johnson inside the area, pulled the ball across the box and Martin did well to stop Rowe poking the ball into an empty net.
59mins
Great sweeping from Fielding to clear a searching ball from the Stockport left. Good awareness from Blues' stopper.
56mins
The midfield quartet for the Blues are working hard to regain the ball from Stockport and Gary Holt is starting to dominate at a crucial stage in the game.
54mins
Two efforts in quick succession for the Blues - firstly Leon Johnson headed just wide from a corner and then Scotty McGleish tried his luck with a 30-yard lob after Ruddy was off his line. The 26-goal man's effort was however high and wide but worth a strike.
52mins
Scott McGleish was waiting to head Wycombe 2-0 up then but Michael Rose's delicate touch took the ball away from the profilic striker's head.
51mins
Good hold up play from Facey, and he won a corner for the Chairboys. From the resulting kick Captain Willo got up tall but his header was over the bar.
50mins
Paul Lambert's men are trying to use the pace and strength of Facey, as they look to knock the balls over the Stockport defence ans get them turning. Tense start to this half.
48mins
Stockport are trying to put the pressure on early in this half. The Blues have started well though and look very strong defensively.
46mins
The 2nd half is underway and Wanderers have the early possession.
Stockport are making a sub. Stephen Gleeson has replaced Dominic Blizzard.
The teams are out ahead of the 2nd half. Come on the Blues.
Half-Time
Wanderers take a 1-0 lead into the changing rooms at the interval and they have deserved it. A wonderful goal from Delroy Facey on 37 minutes has opened the scoring at Adams Park.The target man pounced on a poor kick from John Ruddy, out-muscled a couple of Stockport defenders and fired underneath the on-loan Everton keeper. Don't go anywhere it promises to be another great half.
45mins
The 4th official has indicated there will a minimum of three minutes added time.
44mins
Facey and McGleish are starting to put themselves about a bit more and the Stockport defenders are finding it difficult to handle the pair.
41mins
Great play again from a rejuvenated Facey. He twisted and turned his marker on the left-wing and supplied a teasing cross but McGleish couldn't get on the end of a Sergio head down.
40mins
The Doc has been cautioned for what the referee adjudged what a late challenge. Tempers are running high on the bench and Gannon and Lambert are having words again.
38mins
Maybe a bit of retaliation from Stockport then as Owen went in hard on the goalscorer Facey and earnt himself a yellow card.
37mins - GOAL!!! WANDERERS 1-0 STOCKPORT. Delroy Facey has opened the scoring after he finished superbly after he capitalised on a poor clearance from John Ruddy.
34mins
After a free-kick, the Wanderers players trot over to take some fluids on board. It is roasting in the press box here at Adams Park and it must be even hotter down at pitch level.
31mins
The atmosphere has been electric this evening from not just the Wanderers fans but from the Stockport fans too. Hopefully the Blues can give the home fans something to really cheer with a goal.
28mins
Wanderers need to push up and put the pressure on the Stockport defence. They are allowing them too much time on the football and we can't afford to do that. Come on Blues.
26mins
World class save from Fielding to deny Anthony Pilkington at the back post. The Stockport striker got up high but the on-loan Rovers keeper pushed the powerful header over the bar.
23mins
Wanderers are now enjoying some much needed possession and Oakesy is majorly involved, including an excellent 50-yard ball to find Torres. Then in turn good play from Serge found Martin who unleashed a shot from 15 yards. Ruddy in the Hatters goal was forced into action and tipped the ball over for a corner.
20mins
Great defending from Russ Martin to stop a flowing attack from the Hatters. Sergio is going to be the first player to be cautioned this evening after a poor tackle on Dominic Blizzard.
18mins
So the best chance of the game has fallen to Wanderers and Tommy Doherty. At the moment though Stockport are enjoying some good possession but on that occasion it was cut out by the excellent Mike Williamson.
17mins
The game has settled down a bit with both teams trying to get the ball down and play.
15mins
Emotions are running high in the opening stages of this game. Paul Lambert and the opinionated Jim Gannon were just having a polite chat after one of the Stockport players went down rather theotarically after a challenge from Oakes.
14mins
Stockport have made an early sub with Jim McNulty replacing Michael Raynes.
12mins
Kevin Betsy has just taken his seat for the game. It shows that Betsy hasn't forgotten his Wanderers roots.
11mins
An intriguing tactic from the Wanderers as Facey trotted over and unleashed a mammoth throw into the Stockport area. It caused the Hatters no end of problems.
9mins
Doc in certainly in the thick of it after he was involved in a clash of heads with Paul Turnbull. Both are up again though now after receiving treatment.
7mins
Two fantastic efforts in the space of 45 seconds from Tommy Doherty. Firstly he lashed a shot in from 18-yards after great hold up from target man Delroy Facey, and then after twisting and turning in the penalty area he tried an audacious lob but unfortunately for the 'Doc' it went narrowly over the bar.
6mins
Tremendous tackle from Stefan Oakes. We are going to need that sort of comittment if we are going to get to Wembley.
4mins
A bright start from the Blues, who won a free-kick on the far side as they attack the Dreams Stand in the first half. Oakesy swung in the cross which was cleared, but a flick from LJ almost made its way to Scotty in the box.
6pm
We have kick-off here at Adams Park - apologies for the delay in getting the Clockwatch live but the wireless internet is running slow with so many media representatives logging onto the net inside the stadium.
Anyway County kicked off and the atmosphere here is electric.
