Commitment pleases Simpson
Stockport manager Paul Simpson was delighted with his side's commitment in the 1-1 draw with Southend.
George Donnelly put the Hatters in charge with a controversial goal which looked offside, but Blair Sturrock equalised late on to ensure it ended all square.
"Perhaps it was offside for our goal but I'm glad the linesman kept his flag down," said Simpson. "We defended for our lives and the equaliser was one of those things where we switched off.
"But it was a good performance from the team. The job has not been finished and there's a long way to go but today was a good start for us.
"I inherited a threadbare squad and had no funds to bring players in, but I've no complaints with the cards we have been dealt.
"When I arrived here there was a sense of everyone waiting for something to happen. The players have turned themselves around and made it happen. Now we have to work to get better and fitter."
