I actually thought Barnet shaded things in the first half but we defended resolutely, restricting them to half chances - and the timing of each of our goals couldn't have been sweeter in terms of helping us manage the game.

The team does seem to be evolving from the one that let the Fylde game go, for example - our best period by a country mile was 45-60 when we scored what proved to be the crucial third goal - and during that period, as others have stated, there should have been more.

We also seemed to be happy to go long with the goal kicks after it was clear the shorter ones were inviting too much pressure - again, something I don't think we would have seen earlier in the season.

Regan might not be sharp in front of goal just yet, but he plays the number 9 role like Jordan did and we're a completely different proposition with him leading the line. I've missed seeing Dan Mooney's combative game too, he doesn't give up on anything.

Shame Ethan made a bad mistake by his standards to set the tone for a nervy final 20 minutes.

Spot on about Regan.

We are so much better with him playing. He didn’t stop yesterday and the goals will come.

He forces so many errors, like Jordan did for us. In our favoured formation,Regan by a country mile is our best striker, since the early Hulme days.

Just need a run of games and to be kept on for 90, like yesterday.

Agree with the above.

Kosylo was a joke.His attitude stank.
Was poor and moaned about everything. It was obvious that second yellow was coming.
He should have been subbed at HT. Then we had to lose CCC.
I personally feel his best days are probably behind him.
Hopefully Mooney can step up, otherwise we need another winger when Newby returns.
Where the hell is Donawa?

I won’t pick the best team as most of us would probably pick the same eleven, but I would like to see another quality midfielder signing during January.

My player of the first half of the season would be Ethan Ross who in my opinion is Parky’s best signing since he became manager of Alty

Ross has been a huge signing. Fair play to Parky, I thought he was going to stick with Byrne.

What are people’s first 11?

If we had everyone fit and playing at their best.

Excluding loan players and Crankshaw.

For me…..

                     Ross

Donawa    J.Jones     Baines    E.Jones

              Marriott  Osborne

Amaluzor          CCC             Kossy

                    Linney

Subs :Cooper/Roscoe, Banks, Angus, Mooney, Wilson

J.Jones just beats Cooper, but needs to hit the standards that he was playing in the second half of last season.

If given a run of games and can keep fit, Donawa could become our first choice RB. Would bring more to the team,in my opinion, especially overlapping the winger.

Kossy, just over Mooney. My only concern with Kossy is whether he can ever get back to his best and his best was in the 10 position and that position belongs to CCC.

Would be nice to find out, how long Donawa, E Jones and J Jones are out for?

I believe that Eddy Jones said on Radio Robins this afternoon that his injury is relatively minor and he aims to be back in action in a couple of weeks.

I've heard that James Jones has an injury which requires surgery.

No idea whatsoever regarding Donowa's disappearance. Has he been lost in the Bermuda Triangle...?

 Cheers

Just seen that E.Jones is going to be out for a while….. anyone know what the injury is? Big loss
