Cameron McGeehan was on target for Town but they fell short again. Here are our player ratings from Edgeley Park...
5. Jack Burroughs
County played around him a couple of times in the first half but he stuck to his task well before being beaten in the air for the winner. Not the first defender and won't be the last to lose an aerial battle against Wootton though... 5.5 Photo: Pete Norton
6. Kyle McAdam
Three starts and he effectively has two assists and a goal. Another very good cross that had Addai in trouble and led to McGeehan heading in. Battled well against the quality of Diamond and co but was caught out when Stokes snuck in to set up the winner... 6.5 Photo: Pete Norton
7. Jack Perkins
A rare start in midfield and he was the pick of the bunch. Great engine and popped up all over the pitch. Had too much space to cover at times but he did his best to make life hard for the hosts... 7 CHRON STAR MAN Photo: Pete Norton
8. Tyrese Fornah
His ball retention was poor and that limited Town's ability to keep possession and halt Stockport's momentum... 5 Photo: Pete Norton
