Gannon hails gritty County

Stockport County manager Jim Gannon has praised his side's battling qualities after a run of six games in two weeks ended with a last-gasp equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Bradford City.
Less than 48 hours after crashing out of the FA Cup to Staines, County showed their character by battling to the end at Valley Parade and finally rescuing a point deep into stoppage-time.
Gannon was impressed with the never-say-die attitude of his players, saying: "In the last two weeks we've had to travel up to Carlisle and up and down to Staines twice.
"It's taken a lot out of the players, not just physically, but emotionally too.
"We had to use players who were exhausted, so to come out and put on that sort of assured performance is great credit to them and their professionalism."
