    County dealing quite comfortably with West Ham so far but showing little attacking threat.

    Bizarre timing for firework display.

    The fireworks set off outside Stockport County's ground on the 15th minute of tonight’s game were for 15-year-old local lad Khai Whitehead, who is currently fighting for his life after being hit by a police car responding to a 999 call.

    Let’s hope he pulls through 🙏🏻 https://t.co/02PEykK0ic

    Real commentator love in for Rooney's brother.

    He's played less than a season in the football league, but he's a 'real talent' apparently.

    Mike Dean stopped the game because he couldn't hear the Ass Refs and 4th official rather than watching the pretty colours.

    John is a journeyman footballer who have played mainly in Conference/National League but did score that wonder goal from his own half recently.

    Oh I didn't know he scored from his own half, they've not mentioned it...

    Away to Wycombe might be easy but then they are likely to be away to Everton in round 5 which wont be easy, Man City however have a couple of easy games

    Stockport held West Ham to 1-0 : defended pretty well. Pitch was awful due to heavy rain.

    I'm still staggered that Stockport dropped out of the league

    Yes they were well above their historical level, but in 97/98 where we finished 4th in the second tier, Stockport finished 8th

    We were in League One with them as recent as 2010

    That was when they started their drop as they finished bottom both that year and the following one in League Two

    Only lasted another two seasons before dropping into the National League North

    York have done similar, they had Nick Pope on loan from us, got into the Play-Offs and got beaten 1-0 by Fleetwood, two years later they went down to the National League, following year they went down to the National League North where they still are now, three years later

    Millwall lost 3-0 to Bristol City today

    A little bit of light relief after our result

    Yeah its obvious why they lost... they knew they had an away game outside London in the next round

    Their parole officer must have said: "Look lads, its okay if its the League but leaving town in the cup... I cant allow it"

    Game stopped for fireworks off the pitch. That may be a first for me.

    I'm sure in the first half, Alfie May was given offside when running back towards a Man City player who touch the ball, much like the situation from the other night.

    Had to be Phil Foden that equalised

    He loves playing against lower league opposition in the Cups
