Title: Very Enjoyable..
Post by: markecky on March 26, 2014, 10:35:37 PM
That was the kind of performance our players are capable of. 

Great passing and movement and great finishing.  BPA played there part as well in a decent game.

Every played worked hard and there were many good performances back to front.

That was an important win, very pleased tonight.

And the officials were on form too.

Best performance in a long time, when we have space we look a very good side and have the players who will hurt the opposition, there was so much pace to our passing tonight and a decent pitch made such a difference. Thought the whole team did well. If we can keep playing like that and get a bit of luck in the upcoming key games we must have a great chance still of progressing, but beware Guiseley.

BPA left massive gaps. I can't recall us ever doing so much accurate long range passing.

Bang on. Great all round performance.

Bring on Colwyn Bay.

Best performance for a while I thought. Richman bossed midfield and his cross for Damian's goal was first class. But everyone played well.

Indeed - we often play some good stuff when not closed down as much. Obviously that won't always be the case but credit to the lads and LS tonight for a good team selection and good performances all round tonight-  bringing Carl Rodgers in paid off and all the lads did well. We looked v solid at the back and quality going forward so you can't ask for too much more. Nicky deserved MoM and excellent strike from Kyle as well at the end.

Keep it going lads!

A very good game which was very pleasing on the eye. When we play like that with pace there aren't many teams in this lge that can live with us.

Well done.

a generally good game , with pleasing performances from leather luca  rogers and more importantly reeves who looks like he has the fire back in his belly just what we need for the final part of the season.

Agreed, my most enjoyable game and performance for a very long time, I've missed quite a few games because of work!

Got to agree.......best I have seen at home this season against a team who were no slackers

Nicky Clee edged it as MoM, but plenty of others had good games as well.........Luca and Scott very reliable once again, Carl Rodgers having his best game for ages and Damian Reeves looking sharp once again and working his socks off

Shame less than 600 turned up to witness this.......what is going on - are we a mid-table side with the season effectively over ?.... very poor show ???

A brilliant performance interesting that perry has made a big impact coming on late last 2 games

The fans were in excellent voice as well especially first half

The club needs to think on its feet re the attendances - kids for free with paying adult - cheaper entry ? Free tickets to all schools ? Local marketing ?

Very worrying the last 2 attendances

Well done Alty !

We can do this !!

The first 40 minutes probably the best I've seen this season. Play like that the remainder if our games and it's gonna be close finish

Great all round performance , think that was our best team selection .

I think it helps that LS seems to basically know his bext XI and has largely stuck with it recently instead of chopping and changing all the time. We're still lacking strength in depth though and I'd like to see a couple of reinforcements brought in.

Hopefully, we can go on an unbeaten run for the rest of the season and push Telford all the way.

We can do this !!

Pretty standard midweek, 12 away fan crowd, one of the main reasons our crowds drop in the week is that the kids aren't allowed to come.

All we can do as fans is do all we can to share and promote the games on facebook/twitter and word of mouth.

It's always been the same at Alty, we seem to have to be top for people to notice.

I think the attendances for the last two Saturday home games will be better as neutrals start to realise that we will get in the playoffs.

We should flood the schools for the Vauxhall game in preparation for the playoff home leg and the beer festival should attract a few like Droyslden last year.

The lack of ballboys at midweek games is a useful tactic if it means the goalkeeper gets distracted by the smell of pies when going to corners to retrieve the ball.

Decent performance against a side which were very attacking and therefore open, giving us lots of space. Still lots to come from this set of players, if we'd scored double I don't think BPA could've complained. What's heartening is that we've gone to Brackley and Solihull and ground out results and still have the ability to pass it around like last night.

Pity we didn't learn from last season and let Jordan Deacy repeat his wonder goal from last season. All in all a satisfying, if yet again nail biting game, we really should've sewn it up by half time. 

On to Colwyn Bay who showed they are a good passing side a few weeks ago. Another tough test but one I'm confident we can meet.

I wonder if it's because we appear so safe in the play offs non die hards think they wont bother as they think nothing really hangs on each game.....we need to get the word out that this is now a title challenge as I believe it is.......can the club have a word with the local reporters so we have Alty's title challenege gathers momentum rather than alty consolidated their guaranteed play off place....

Thought we were outstanding last night, play with that zip and drive for our remaining games and we'll get back to our natural level
Well done

Was impressed last night but not good enough according to a poster on the Telford forum:


"Just seen Altys goals from last night on Youtube and expected to be impressed but all four were due to comical defending by BPA. Whalley will destroy their defence".

This coupled with our resident Telford fan Louise1234 insisting that they have the league sewn up already and Alty are no where near the team they are.

They certainly seem to be very confident, and I suppose they have some right to be given their position, but I don't know if it's as "done and dusted" as they believe just yet.

I wouldn't take them too seriously, most wanted Watson sacked after about 10 games for his style of play.

I am banned from the forum when i log on at work...and i can only assume that it is because the company I work for sponsor Telford.  So, some troll has been banned for a given ip address and I have been sucked in behind them...

But otherwise I am still able to post so it's not my obsession with the 70's and 80's that has got me banned

I'd like a lot more of your posts from the 70's and 80's!

Next time you are at work go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and send me a message with your IP on and I will see if I can see it on the spam list.

As you say, someone in that range will have sinned.
