As is now the norm, Town started the brighter with Crowe and Campbell powering forward down the right flank.
That combination provided two early good chances for Iain Anderson. Both occasions came on the edge of the box with time to control. The Scotsman rushed both his chances as the Osmand were treated to a deja vu of shots flying into the stand.
A crossfield ball from the right then provided Boulding with a good chance unmarked in the box. Town's top scorer stuck out his foot in hope rather than anything and the ball flew wide of the goal.
Onuora achieved his weekly objective of heading an opposition player early on. John Hardiker lay in a heap on the floor whilst Onuora shrugged of the collision.
With the wind swirling around, neither side bothere to play football. With Boulding hardly a giant and Onuora hardly good, Town's direct approach didn't work much at all. In fact the only occasions it looked decent was when the wind blew the ball into Boulding's proximity. This happened more than once with Boulding using his pace to escape defenders but the lack of support from Onuora and midfield was 20 yards too slow.
Stockport slowly settled into the game despite the injury to goalkeeper James Spencer. Four stretcher bearers were required to walk behind Spencer as he walked back to the the changing room. Maybe he might have got tired and collapsed? Former Town loanee Nick Colgan took over between the sticks.
Crane and Hamilton were both having nightmare games for Town. Neither seemed capable of staying on their feet or controlling the ball. The Hatters' identified Greg Young's inexperience early on and instructions for Andy Welsh to attack were clear to see. Young did well, blocking out all crosses and he can't be faulted.
A goalmouth scramble followed from a Stockport corner. Somehow Jon Daly managed to hit the post from two yards out as Town escaped.
Going in at the break, Town were struggling to deal with a, umm, struggling side. That's despite all the hot air coming from Blundell Park in the past week.
The second half was no better. Town had no complaints when Stockport took the lead on 67 minutes. Rickie Lambert's free-kick was flicked on by Aaron Wilbraham, Town's defence watched, the unmarked Rob Clare tapped home from close range. The defence looked amazed that such excellent marking would result in a goal.
Moments before the goal Darren Mansaram replaced the totally ineffective Iffy Onuora. 'Flash' was to be Town's saviour.
Following the goal a jolly fightback came from Town. Numerous shots were fired either straight at Colgan or into the legs of a yellow shirted player.
Crowe's delightful overhead kick found Mansaram unmarked. With the defence appealing for offside the Donny born striker nodded past Colgan to level the game.
Campbell was replaced by Cas as Town went for the game and from here they should have won it.
Colgan's fumbling hands saw an Anderson effort watched onto the bar whilst making a hash of Boulding's weak shot before stopping it on the line. Mansaram was the inspiration for Town with his awkward style and pacy (ish) running.
Despite camping out in the Stockport half, Town failed to take advantage.
Stockport brought on Owen Morrison and Stuart Barlow to add some skill and movement up front. Morrison especially held the ball up well and could have done some damage with better support.
Town responded by bringing on Phil Jevons with a whole 3 minutes to go. Jevvo only had one touch. He didn't even score, bloody useless!
The final contribution to the game saw Tony Crane pick up yet another needless booking for arguing with the linesman.
Overall a fortunate point for Town. Serious question marks need to be asked over the performances of Crane, Hamilton, Onuora and Anderson.
Man of the Match - Jason Crowe. Three weeks running for the player 'too good to drop'. Bet you'll find an excuse though, eh Paul? Ran the midfield despite amazingly doing the defensive role after last week's impressive performance when given the attacking role.
