Page "Stockport County F.C." Paragraph 15

In Gannon's first match back at the club, they lost a hard-fought match to joint-leaders Fleetwood Town, 2 – 1, who achieved a record attendance in the fixture at Highbury.

Gannon managed County to their first back to back wins in over 3 years – since his last stint as manager – with successive 1 – 0 victories over Wrexham and Darlington.

Gannon steered County away from the drop zone, winning 8 of the last 15 league games – remarkable form for a side that had only managed to win 9 games throughout the whole of the 2010 / 11 campaign – to finish 16th in the final table.
