Not a comment on the change itself (although as I said, it felt like it had to happen this week) - but it'll never get old seeing Ben Hinchliffe taking in the applause of the County fans. 🐐 #StockportCounty

15' Boos as Brad Hills is down for a fair old time after getting a boot to the face. Stretcher comes on, and Hills hops back to his feet which riles the Rotherham Utd crowd. Was clearly a stray boot to the face of Hills, which Jordan Hugill got booked for! (0-0) #StockportCounty

45' CHANCE: Odin Bailey whips a free-kick in after Bailey himself fouled, Ethan Pye rises and heads narrowly over. Two really good chances for The Hatters. (0-0) #StockportCounty

HT - 0-0. Not a great watch but County perked up at the back end of the first half, and have had the best two chances with Andresson and Pye, firing wide and over. No major chances for Rotherham Utd so far, but plenty of work to do to go on and win the game. #StockportCounty

57' CHANCE: Mothersille and Fevrier having an impact. Good work by Malik Mothersille down the right, keeps it in play then picks it back up from Fevrier, low cross in to Wootton has to be palmed away from danger. (0-0) #StockportCounty

60' It's been coming in this second half. Jayden Fevrier down the right, in towards Wootton, out the other side to Ollie Norwood who uses the decoy of Malik Mothersille to cut inside and dink a cross in for Kyle WOOTTON to head home. 0-1 #StockportCounty!

74' Nathan Lowe replaces Beno Andresson. Certainly no 'defensive' changes so far here. County have been largely dominant since the restart but will be wanting to avoid getting stung again. (0-1) #StockportCounty

Should have scored, slotted a one v one wide of the target in the first half. Feel like he puts that in the back of the net more often than not. Lively and always running in behind but hasn't been a game full of chances tbf.

83' Oof. Offside as Rotherham stick it home. Headed across goal and prodded home on the goalline by Liam Kelly, who was slightly ahead of play. (0-1) #StockportCounty

86' Malik Mothersille injured and replaced by Callum Camps. The sub is subbed out of necessity. Not perfect by any means but Mothersille had certainly looked more encouraging today. Odin Bailey is replaced by Owen Moxon. (0-1) #StockportCounty

89' BIG CHANCE: Got to score! Norwood whips the free-kick in, Ethan Pye unmarked but plants it wide. Can't let that come back to haunt... (0-1) #StockportCounty

Not really sure what the point of this is and appreciate it's basically a load of waffle, but feel like I can't not mention the train journey home from Rotherham. Normally in the car so not sure if it's a regular occurrence (I can guess), but as soon as we got to Rotherham
