	Spurs 4-0 Stockport
		Stockport kept pressing and wasted their best chance soon after when Kuqi met a corner in front of a labouring Sully at the near post, but he could not direct his header to the empty goal.
		Soon after Sully decided to help Stockport again, by throwing the ball to a Stockport player when trying to set up a quick counter attack, only for the ball to be worked to their left wing and crossed for Wiss to beat King in the air but send his header wide of Sully’s right-hand post.
		Stockport managed a corner from a Sully save from a shot that was going well wide and also had a header near the end which Sully did well to save at close range for all their clean sheet bonuses.

		Stockport, who must be the least attractive opposition in the division, put 10 men behind the ball and sat and watched Town play a pretty but ineffective passing game in front of them.
		It needs to be emphasised, however, that his slip ups were a result of his obvious desire not to resort to the hoof up field - and his composure was excellent for most of the game.
		His confidence levels appear to be sky high and even Stockport's rugged defenders couldn't prise the ball away from him when they were around him in a pack.
