Some how inexplicably we still aren't dead this afternoon with everyone else losing. Get a firebrand new short term manager on that bloody coach on Tuesday, this is absolutely unacceptable. Whimpering to relegation here, doesn't have to be superstar, just something fresh, it's still retrievable
-
Agreed. Bromley were more or less trying to give us the win. One of the worst Alty teams I have ever seen. Even more worrying however that Moult had to go off, hope it was just a slight knock.

We would still need to win at Torquay, beat Welling and get at least a point at Eastleigh/Braintree
It ain't happening

Why so? Borehamwood are running out of games and Guiseley can't buy a win. We only have to get above those two.

Don't rule out Chester yet either

everybody above us will win another game yet, so we need two wins at least, Guiseley and Boreham have each other to play. Guiseley will beat already safe Torquay on last day and Boreham will beat welling

For the 100th time this season, to quote my good friend Captain John Patrick Mason (Her majesty's SAS ret)
'Your "best"??!! Losers always whine about their "best"! Winners go home and f**k the prom queen!'
BE BOLD ALTRINCHAM
Inspired figure at the front of that coach for Tuesday, it can still be saved this, with decisive brave action,

Chester will beat Welling, Halifax will beat Macc on last day

Defensively speaking we aren't too far off at the moment but I'd give anything for a fit Nicky Clee on the left. Lacking in the final 3rd so much and without Gino we'd be even more toothless up top. So many stray and aimless balls it's ridiculous and I think as soon as Moult went off we looked a lot more susceptible on the break.
Would consider starting rankine and reeves on Tuesday but I still think Lawrie is much more effective when he plays in behind the forwards and I like Gino on the right then drifting inside when we attack, looks dangerous.
In fact it might not be a terrible idea to play Gino off rankine. At least that way someone with a bit of pace may get on the end of one of those flick ons

To answer your original question: all the way into the Vanarama National North and beyond, as long as the chairman is making employment decisions based on affability rather than ability.

What a throughly depressing game 2 very poor teams hoof hoof hoof

I wouldn't say that was true. Bromley missed a number of very presentable chances and were robust at the back. They certainly did not roll over for us today.

this is from the main site
Alty now face a must-win home game with Bromley on Saturday, and caretaker-manager Tolson said, 'I don't know how many times I've gone into the changing room and said one mistake has cost us the game, and it has happened again. We have played well, looked comfortable, created chances and scored a great goal to go in front but still lost, and the players are devastated.
'They are distraught in there, but it's the job of myself and Matt Doughty to pick them up, because there are still 15 points to play for.
'I will pick myself up. I have been in football long enough to deal with this and be ready for the next game. Sometimes you go away and question yourself, but I'm thinking "No, there's not a lot wrong".
'If there was, I'm a big enough and brave enough person to go and have a chat with the chairman and say "You know what? I'm out of my depth here". But I'm not, and I know for a fact I'm not. I know for a fact we are not a million miles away. We are a good footballing team who just need a bit of luck here and there and we'll be fine.
No, we don't need luck - we need goals - and we need wins. Tolson's regime is a firework that had its fuse lit and didn't explode. What do we do now? Leave it? Pick it up and chuck it on the bonfire or in a bucket of water?

it seems the experiment is lasting until the hypothesis "appointing the coach of 3 years to manager will not change things a jot and will result in relegation" is absolutly proven beyond reasonable doubt..
The next experiment will be "can a coach we appointed as manager under whom we still got relegated do any better in the league below?"
-
I've just remembered the similarity to when GH left and Kenny Mc was made manager to the end of the season and we got relegated by the skin of our teeth.

Ken McKenna had three quarters of a season to keep us up.............I believe that money was made available to him as well

And had players with the fight.
Lawton or O Keefe.

He also started with 1 point from 33 at the beginning of the season. I'd have had him back in a shot.
-
He benched Reeves for a long run of games. Wouldn't have him anywhere near

No chance..........jumped ship once the chips were down
Thought Twiss was better than Reeves
Once Lee Sinnott chucked the towel in, we needed somebody new to the club who could somehow lift the players, someone with a knack of picking the right team and right formation and making the right substitutions at the right time, someone to instill belief and get them creating chances and actually putting them away.........whether or not that person exists or not I don't know....but it aint Ken
