I bet the Wrexham management watching yesterday are licking there lips at playing us, certainly won't have learnt much.
Massive job for PP and NS to lift the team and give us something to cheer. Were limited on whom we can pick I guess so my stab would be
Thompson
Densmore
Mullarkey
Hanigan
Senior
Moult
Pringle
Furman
Kosylo
Colclough
Hancock

Wot, no Marriott ?
-
That's our best eleven.
Would be unfair to put Marriott in from the start but we've got to hope he wasn't shocked by yesterday and can improve us.
You never know, we could be getting a genuine number nine parachuting in today.
-
Wouldn't mind that starting 11 but can't see Pringle being available. As long as Fitzpatrick is no where near its step in righy direction.
-
The XI at the head of this thread is literally all we have, unless Mooney makes a dramatic reappearance.
In fairness, it does look as if PP has deliberately cleared the decks for some much-needed incomings.
-
Return to our normal formation.
TT
Senior
Dens
Hannigan
Mullarkey
Moult
Marriott ( been playing regularly so start the lad)
Colcough
Kosylo
No.10 Pringle
Hancock
-
I'd like to see Dens too but for all his running up and down the touchline I'll be surprised if we see him on the pitch again. :(
-
4-2-3-1
TT
Senior
Hannigan
Mullarkey
Hampson
Moult
Marriott
Kosylo
Pringle
Colclough

If Hampson isn’t fit then Senior
Left back and Dens right back

Brad Jackson has scored on his Buxton debut.

Brad Jackson has scored on his Buxton debut.
If he proves his fitness within the month, then I hope to God we have the power to recall him.
Agree re: Marriott too - the lad's joined us on red-hot form, why would we not want to tap into that?

Jackson substituted later - maybe still a little way off full fitness.

I see they eventually fell to defeat with 10 men - over 2,000 in attendance too.
Lovely goal Brad scored, too - for those on Twitter some lad filmed it from behind the goal and shared it (on the goal tweet of Buxton's account I think).

After the Stockport performance it is clear that 5 at the back does not suit us & seemed to show Parky going for more in defence as we've been on such a poor run... also seemed to show that we obviously have no number9 (even more evident after recent loans out)... in short we need to play our usual formation starting with a back 4...
I'd go with...
Team:
TT
Senior
Mullarkey
Hanningan
Hampson
Moult
Marriott
Kosylo
Pringle
Colclough
Hancock
Subs: Drench, Densmore/Digie, Porter, Furman, Leitch-Smith
NB if Hampson unfit then would start Dens at RB & switch Senior to LB...
Also believe Marriott must start as in form plus why bother getting him if not to be used... also if Mooney fit would start him...
Need to bounce back & show some character after such a poor run (think 1 win in 15 & out of 3 Cup comps)... normally would hope to win at home but in circs would be happy with draw... plus the performance must improve!
COYR!

Would simply take any sort of positive performance from the next two games (given the opposition) and then regroup with fresh blood in the new year.
-
depends on which formation phil goes for today,just show we are not scared of them and get stuck in and get the result.
-
I’d be happy if we could get to 15-20 minutes without conceding 😕🤷🏼♂️

I'm scared of them :-[

I know Wrexham are a totally different problem to Weymouth but the way the lads played against Weymouth was one of the best games I have seen Alty play this season. .. I would rather see us play like they did at Weymouth playing good attacking football rather than seeing us inviting teams like Wrexham on to us and getting turned over,
Difficult fixtures v Stockport & Wrexham, if we are going to lose let us at least go down showing some passion..
Once we get these holiday games over against two of the better teams in this league, hopefully we can get back on track and start picking up some points again.
Would love to see us snatch a point today but fear the worst..
Alty 1 - 2 Wrexham
Att 3999.

Thank goodness you're not in the team then! 🙄 😎😂😂
-
Not a happy clapper either but I thought that was encouraging.
Couldn't fault any of the lads today. Tony T made some decent saves (especially in first half, didn't have a great deal to do as the game wore on). Kennedy D & Fitzpatrick were fine. Midfield did well and Furman also contributed well going forward after he came on. Hope Marriot is OK. Good to see Mooney back and lively. Coco got better as game wore on and looked to be getting his mojo back.
We won't be playing against bankrolled sides that much longer, keep playing like that and we'll be picking up points again. Deffo agree we need someone to stick any chances away though.
-
Much better, still need a striker and to start taking the chances we create. If not we'll be in trouble.
-
The Ref yet again did his best to ruin that game, The Linesman on the Pop side was inept at best.
OK Wrexham took their foot off the Gas in the second half, but the way some of their lads go down as if a fkn sniper had taken them out,
As others have said elsewhere, we desperately need a Striker in the mould of Jordon H., Hancock is half the player he was when Jordon was about.
I too am of the belief that we can start getting back to winning ways (after next Monday).
Good to see all parts of the ground back in use, (does anyone know what the new official max attendance is nowadays)
-
An improvement on the previous game for sure, even though Wrexham weren’t a patch on Stockport. Thought we understandably started tentatively and there were too many long balls played but by the second half we looked more and more like a Phil Parkinson team there were some encouraging moments. Mooney gives us that direct attacking threat that we have been missing and hopefully he stays fit now for an extended period. We still desperately need a striker

There were positives to take from the first half. Fitz, Porter and Thompson were miles better than on boxing day. Second half we really could have had them, they were nothing special considering the amount of money being thrown about. Their players constantly going down was so fkn boring, I'd hate to watch that every week. What happened with the tickets/capacity? We were told it would be 3900 so I assumed there would be plenty of tickets on the day, much to my surprise the club told it was sold out when I rung up, had to get a ticket directly through Bill. Surely this is unnecessarily turning supporters away?

I thought Digie had his best game so far.
The right wing was underused until Mooney came on. Senior was often stood in loads of space but went unnoticed.

Digie is not a bad signing but he shouldn't be used as a 3rd CB starting, either he fights his way in to the side like. MALLARKY did after Jones left or he earns it by being brought on as a 3rd CB to shut up shop.

I agree that Wrexham were nothing special, but tbh they really didn't need to be. I liked the fact their wide players could deliver inch-perfect crosses into our box, but there wasn't really a great deal else which stood out. Also, their gamesmanship was excessive and unnecessary. They won't go up, as I've seen plenty of teams better than them.
As for us, I'm not even convinced that the defence is the problem. As a Stockport fan pointed out, our midfield is pretty much non existent. Time and time again in the first half, they cut through Moult and Porter as if they weren't there. We really miss the energy of players like Pringle and Kirby.
If I were Parky, I'd be looking for another Ali Smith character (not easy I know, but he's done it before). A number 9 is obviously a no brainer.
We can stay up as I believe there are 7 other teams worse than us. I believe in the management, but there will need to be some personnel changes after the Stockport game.

Kirby was a big blow but Furman, Pringle and Whitehead all should. Start above. Porter.

A more encouraging display than that Edgeley Park debacle but, let's be honest, Wrexham effectively declared at half-time.
I thought that Wrexham lacked the creativity, pace and attacking menace that County exhibited against us but you wouldn't back against them reinforcing their squad with some significant names over the next few weeks.
For all of our possession during the second half, we failed to work their goalkeeper on even a single occasion.
Disappointing to see Marriott's home debut curtailed by injury but at least Digie looked more convincing.
Rumours persist (once again) of the return of a familiar face in the quest to boost our strikepower, so we shall see what the January transfer window brings.
-
Genuine question.
Do we have transfer windows in the National?
-
As is clearly the consensus, we were much better yesterday. I was pleased too that the reception the players got at the end was broadly positive, deservedly so I think. We are right to aspire to better things in the mid-to-long term, but we have to balance this with the hard facts that we are in a league where we are effectively classed as the underdog in the majority of our fixtures.
I think the small number of comments that have appeared on here recently questioning PP's ability have been misguided, and I'd suggest to those that have posted them that their hunt for a better replacement would prove to be a very long one indeed.

I think we do. If they are coming from another conference or league side anyway. Don't think it applies at the level below. Could be wrong though.

I don't think we have a complete ban as we signed Marriott, we've sent 5 lads on loan across the season so far and last year we brought PIGGOTT, Smith,. OGLE and others in.

I'd always thought it was just transfers involving League clubs.

Whitehead has gone back to Vale.
