Match Preview

Same again for Mathias Stockport caretaker boss Ray Mathias will choose from the same squad when his side play host to Stevenage. Skipper Danny Swailes is nearing full fitness after five months out with a knee injury and could be back before the end of the season. Mathias has no fresh injury or suspension concerns as his men bid to keep their slender survival hopes alive. Stockport sit five points behind third-from-bottom Burton in League Two with just six games remaining and face a huge task to avoid dropping out of the Football League. Yet Mathias is refusing to throw in the towel just yet and says his side will continue fighting until survival becomes mathematically impossible. He said: "I'll never stop believing until it's the last kick on the last day at the end of the season." Graham Westley will have a full squad to choose from when promotion-chasing Stevenage travel to the League Two basement boys. Full-back Scott Laird returned to the starting line-up against Bradford last weekend and is set to keep his place after completing 90 minutes in the 2-1 victory at Broadhall Way. Indeed, Westley could field an unchanged XI as Boro target the seventh consecutive win of a run which has taken them to fifth place and within three points of the automatic promotion places. Stevenage have scored six goals without reply in their previous two outings on the road at Burton and Macclesfield, and four of the victories in their recent hot streak have come away from home.

Match Report

County hopes dashed by late strike Stockport County's slim hopes of avoiding relegation from the Football League were dealt a major blow as Stevenage came back to claim a 2-2 draw. Lawrie Wilson volleyed home a Rob Sinclair cross to give Stevenage a scarcely-deserved injury time equaliser. There was little goalmouth action in the first half with the best chance falling to County's James Vincent. His placed shot trickled agonisingly wide after a flowing move involving James Wallace and Danny Rowe. The home side began the second half strongly but Stevenage broke to open the scoring in the 56th minute when John Mousinho crossed for Mark Roberts to crash home. A desperate County threw everything at Stevenage and gained their reward from the penalty spot after a Wilson handball in the 67th minute. Greg Tansey netted his eighth goal of the season from the spot. Just three minutes later a long clearance from Matt Glennon induced panic in the Stevenage defence and Matt Paterson was left with the simplest of headers to make it 2-1. That looked like giving the Hatters all three points until Wilson's injury time intervention.
