First post for a while, frankly the most devastating result since Fylde at home. Pleased by PP's appointment at first but the sleeping cynic in me did wonder how we are feasibly going to to 'football' ourselves out of this mess, fair play to Phil but I'm guessing we are just part of his aspirations to move higher up, young guy an all, would have expected a Mike Bassett type with an Andy Morrison or two to elevate us from this condition. 3 nil loss at home first game, does not bode well. Oh Alty always love you, cmon reds.
He won't move very far if he loses more than he wins but it's too early to say that. I believe he can football his way out of this league as he so nearly did it with Nantwich so he has a track record for it.
He has to learn very quickly that this is not Nantwich though.
He needs the fans with him, he had been given unconditional support to start him off. He has to understand that after what people have seen in the last 2 years, Alty managers start with little credit in the bank and people are fragile.
I believe he'll get there but that interview was naive in the extreme, even if that's what he thought he does not have the credibility yet to tell us things are outstanding. Loads of people have differing views on players, tactics, I defy anyone to show me someone else who thought yesterday was outstanding. If there are people reading this who do think that, I'll gladly listen to your opinion.
Let's get Nantwich beaten and start this season.
