SLOWLY BUT SURELY FOR CHALLINOR

DAVE Challinor wants his Stockport players to keep “believing in the process” as they chase promotion.

The Hatters host Newport tomorrow off the back of a narrow victory over Sutton at Gander Green Lane.

They have now gone seven games without defeat to leave them just two points off third-placed Carlisle, and Challinor said: “They have got to believe in the process.

“Some are playing in different roles and need to be disciplined in their new roles.

“Hopefully they’re getting the rewards for that in the end gives them the reinforcement that it was the right way to go with changing the shape.”

Jack Stretton’s second-half goal was enough to earn the points, while Sutton lost captain Craig Eastmond to injury after just six minutes.
