Challinor seeks response after baffling no-show

Dave Challinor wants a Stockport rebound against Stevenage on Saturday after what he rated as one of the worst performances of his four-year tenure.

County's manager was left nonplussed by Tuesday's 3-0 defeat against Burton Albion which stalled his side's momentum in the League One promotion play-off race.

"Over the course of the time I've been here I can't think of any occasion where every facet of the game was off for us but that was the case for us against Burton. Nobody in our whole group came out with any positives whatsoever," he told BBC Radio Manchester.

"The goals we conceded were so bad - not tracking runners, not competing and mistakes all over the pitch.

"It was an opportunity to go third in the table and put pressure on the teams around us but we've done none of that.

"We have to be miles better against Stevenage.

"But what we've been really good at is bouncing back from disappointment. Last year we didn't lose consecutive games. We've done it a couple of times this year but we have been notoriously good at that.

"You have to move on from disappointment. I can stand here and be frustrated and angry and I'm all of those things but ultimately the sooner we move on the better and that's what we'll do."
