Stockport 2026/27 League One Preview
Stockport County finished third last season and sit third again, but this is a noisier version of the same team. Eight games have brought 17 goals scored and 10 conceded, a 5-1 win over Wycombe and a 4-0 at Wigan alongside a 4-3 defeat at home to Leicester. Jimmy McNulty’s side are rarely involved in a quiet afternoon.
The set-up is a 3-4-3 with a genuinely accomplished midfield for the level: Oliver Norwood has taken 30 corners and five direct free-kicks, and Ben Osborn has created 26 chances, the most of any player at the club. Ahead of them Kyle Wootton has five goals and Jack Diamond four, with Harry Wood chipping in three from the middle.
Third place and 77 points last season ended in play-off disappointment, and Stockport are running out of patience with the nearly-men label. The attacking quality is not in doubt; tightening a defence that has already shipped 10 in eight is what will decide whether they finally go up automatically.
Stockport’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Kyle Wootton
- Free-Kicks: Oliver Norwood
- Corners: Oliver Norwood, Ben Osborn
Oliver Norwood has taken 30 of Stockport’s corners to Ben Osborn’s 22. Oliver Norwood has had five of the direct free-kicks. Stockport are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Kyle Wootton, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
