The impressive young manager hates the limelight of clicking cameras and is used to just a couple of hardened local reporters giving him a weekly grilling. But this week, the Alex deserve national attention for a heroic season which will end on Sunday at Wembley. Despite that, the mood is relaxed and jovial ahead of a day in the sun under the famous arch. Semi-final hero Max Stryjek is here, laughing about how he disposed of a Doncaster water bottle carrying details on where Crewe players might put their penalties.

DAYS OF THE PYRAMID: As his super Stockport County team rewrite the record books in League Two, you'd be a fool to bet against promotions specialist Dave Challinor

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 24, 2023
LEWIS STEELE: A long list of superlatives that could be used about Dave Challinor's Stockport County, but perhaps a few studies are the best place to start in an argument about their sheer dominance this season. Northampton Town has the most points in a season since being rebranded as League Two, with 87 in 2015-16. If Stockport keeps up points at an average of 2.27 per game, they will finish on 104. If the Hatters win on Saturday in Newport County's Rodney Parade, they will break Luton Town's record for a winning streak in one season in the fourth tier, which saw them take three points in 12 straight matches in 2001-02.
