A 96th minute winner from York’s Matty Blinkhorn stopped Stockport County from taking a deserved point home from Bootham Crescent on Saturday.

The Hatters belied their league position with a strong performance against the promotion chasers, but were again undone by late goals, something that may prove to be decisive come the end of the season.

Jim Gannon made one change to the side that drew with Newport County the previous weekend, bringing in Jon Nolan for Carl Piergianni, with Joe Connor slotting into the back four.

Stockport County travel to York City this afternoon in their latest game in the fight for Blue Square Bet Premier survival.

York will be no pushovers however, with the Minstermen currently lying in 5th place in the table, and looking like a good bet to make the play-offs at the end of the season.

The two sides met earlier in the campaign back in October at Edgeley Park when the visitors ran out 2-1 winners thanks to second-half goals from Matty Blair and Jason Walker, so Jim Gannon’s side will be desperate to set the record straight.
