Season review
« on: November 14, 2008, 10:19:48 AM »

 Woking 3pm 2-1 1,645 Meechan 45, Little 90(+1) 4  - a good result
2 Tue.12.8.08 H BARROW 7.45pm 3-4 1,312 Little 64,76 Denham 72 12 poor, but the exciting football people had wanted. I hope no repeat.
3 Sat.16.8.08 H KETTERING TOWN 3pm 1-1 1,045 McGregor 84 10 Ok result against promotion challengers though felt poor at the time
4 Sat.23.8.08 A Kidderminster Harriers 3pm 0-4 1,335   18 Always getting beat after that decision though would have got beat anyway
5 Mon.25.8.08 H WREXHAM 12noon 1-1 2,619 Senior 6 17 Could have won against big time Wrexham

Only one really poor result here (v. Barrow), always going to be a slow start with a dozen new players and three strikers injured/struggling for fitness.


6 Sat.30.8.08 A Eastbourne Borough 3pm 0-1 1,170   19     Should have got something.
7 Tue.2.9.08 A Histon 7.45pm 0-1 692   19    Only got beat by dodgy goal v. best nteam in the league (more or less)
8 Sat.6.9.08 H SALISBURY CITY 3pm 0-0 1,002   19 Unlucky not to beat the top team
9 Sat.13.9.08 A Stevenage Borough 3pm 0-3 1,804   21 "Alty in poor freekick shocker" the 2nd of three 3-goal wins for brilliant Stevenage
10 Sat.20.9.08 H LEWES 3pm 1-0 827 Young 87 21 The result I predicted

Worst judged protest ever at the start of a long unbeaten run. Burton also lost 4-1 to Stevenage before we played Stevenage. If they had fans like ours and listened to them, Cloughie would never have had the chance to guide them to the top of the table. N. B. never call me clueless again. Unless I wind up some youths from Luton.  ;)

11 Tue.23.9.08 H MANSFIELD TOWN 7.45pm 1-0 1,005 Senior 1 20 the players clicking and strikers  back to their best. Result nowt to do with protest.
12 Mon.29.9.08 A Rushden & Diamonds 7.45pm 1-1 1,349 Little 44 19 Could have won against big spending Rushden
13 Sat.4.10.08 H EBBSFLEET UNITED 3pm 2-0 967 Little 27, Senior 45 17 Another bogie team beat.
14 Tue.7.10.08 A Salisbury City 7.45pm 3-1 950 Little 46, Johnson 86, O'Neill (pen) 90+5 14 Excellent result, could have won without the dismissals
15 Sun. 12.10.08 H OXFORD UNITED 3pm 1-0 1,806 Little 64 9 Good performance, Little shows his class.
16 Sat.18.10.08 A Weymouth 3pm 0-2 926   13 Always gonna be hard - 3rd game in a week, long trip, part time players
17 Sat.1.11.08 H HISTON 3pm 0-1 953   Edged out by the league's best team. Could have been different but defeat always likely.


Overall, I would love to be able to start well with a dozen new players and three strikers struggling but in real life it just doesn't happen. I was always confident the results would come though, we were never that bad. Stevenage? look at Burton. Kiddy? the sending off.

Great to beat Stalybridge in a proper match at last and draw with Luton too.

Hugh,

We all tend to look through Red & White striped spectacles - we're Alty Fans

However I think that you must have been wearing 5 or 6 pairs of them to have come up with some of the comments you have.

I hope it is still pleasant in your alternative Universe :)

Hugh,

Just a small point....but between Chris Senior's goal against Wrexham and Greg Young's late winner against Lewes, Alty clocked up a shameful 531 minutes (or 8 hours and 51 minutes if you prefer) without managing to score a league goal (which may be some sort of unwanted record).

That's truly sparkling form to keep the fans overjoyed, Im sure that you'll agree....

Please can we wait until the end of April before judgments on the season are made?

Remember 1996/97?
Things looked fine in December but we went on to collapse, finish bottom of the league and suffer our first relegation from the Conference.
I'm by no means saying that will happen again....but please don't tempt fate!

Just a quick question why have you brought this up and Well Done to GH and the Lads because they've done great in the past month and a half after Lewes. As i said before we as fans at the time of the lewes game were pissed off we'd spent time and money to get down to Stevenage and all the effort by Ecky,Martin and Tom to get us down there that certain people myself included weren't happy with certain things but now i've forgotten about what happened and now i'm proud to be an Alty fan again.
