Stockport manager Gary Ablett was left bitterly disappointed after his young side crashed to a 3-1 home defeat against Exeter on Saturday.
Stoppage-time goals from substitutes Adam Stansfield and Richard Logan handed the visitors victory after County had hauled themselves level through Michael Rose.
Exeter led at half-time thanks to a 39th-minute opener from Ryan Harley and Ablett said: "There wasn't much between the teams in the first half. The free-kick that they scored from was an outstanding strike, but we got much tighter in the second half.

"But we were done by the sucker punch. That's the way it's going for us at the moment. We're just lacking that bit of quality in vital areas, and it's costing us."
