Alty 8/11
Draw 13/5
Curzon 10/3
Need to get the home win monkey off our back. Probably start peers upfront
-
Indeed, must start winning at home.
Is Johnson available?
-
Very important that we win for me. We’ll have played a quarter of all our home games by 5pm Saturday, no wins in any of them would be far from ideal.
Curzon always a useful side at this level but the kind of side we should be putting away at home if we want to progress. Also every home game attendance has been 1000+ so far, if we don’t start winning that wlll drop off. Saturday with no PL and a local derby I’d hope 1200ish but as Parky has already said we need to give the home fans something to cheer.
Chilling memories of our last home game vs Curzon which we also need to put right.
Fingers crossed then for a win, of any description, as we have a tough September ahead of us.

Shoot the other way and play Hancock as number 10. Simples.
Joking aside we do need to win this. This is the game Hulme is banned? If so give Peers a go as number 9.
I really hope JJ is back.
-
1-0 Hancock. 846 ATT.
-
2-0 Alty - Att: 1017
-
Scrappy 2-1 win. Hulme Poole. Attn 907
-
I thought Hulme was suspended?

He is. Which is why I think we'll be lucky to take a point. Can't make this one as I'm away in Wales for the weekend.
If JJ is fit we might just scrape home, but I reckon 0-0 in front of 876.

As Hulme is suspended it will have to be Peers with the opener
-
As myself and Phil are away for this game we will win 5-0 attendance 1150

I must stress that we're not away together, and if we were he'd be getting the beer in.
-
We will win but we have to pick up better when we haven't got the ball, this is the one area where we have come up short so far
-
Tough but winnable game tomorrow, hopefully our first home win of the season.
Interesting to see how Parky lines them up, with Jordan out and others coming back from injury.

What would be really good tomorrow is if one of their players doesn’t stride out of their own half with the ball and plant a 25 yarder into our top corner unopposed. We need to get smarter.

Their match preview refers to us as 'Altrincham Town'
Ffs.

we have struggled to get a team together for today
-
Oh dear...that is the worst performance I have seen for some time.
That includes our last relegation, I have never seen so many players who didn't look interested, Curzon played the ball around and had a game plan and we just had no answers.
You can tell PP must have shared the disappointment, as he changed the formation at half time, and in the second half we did look slightly better.
Although as an indication of how bad it was, when you sustitute your number 9, with ten minutes to go and you are 2-0 down to bring on a midfielder.
You look at the league table now, we haven't played many of the top teams yet, and we can't beat teams who are around us in the league.
Either we buck up and work out how we are going to play or we are heading back to the 'pub team' league.
The real problem is in midfield, Moult plays about 2 yeards in front of the central defenders and today Williams was totally ineffective, usually I am a fan of Harrop, but he didn't do anything today. Curzon had all the time in the world to play.
The only bright spot was when Dale came on, which should have happened at half time.
................hmmmm plenty for PP to think about.
-
That was bloody awful today . They were poor we were awful
-
We were terrible, 2-0 CA was fair and could have been more.
The sides we have played & failed to beat at home this season so far will not be in the play offs. It’s plainly not good enough. Now our forthcoming league games look v difficult. Yes, we badly missed Hulme & Poole but CA swatted us aside with ease.
-
Worst performance since Phil joined the club,totally out played by a very impressive Curzon side.
Not hit the panic button yet but lots to address,I got critisied last season for saying last season's
Squad would be a Mid table team this season and so far I am not far off.
I think mid table is were we will finish this season,but unless we sort ourselves out soon.
We could end up in a relegation battle.

an impressive curzon side ? I beg to differ . I thought they were poor.we made them look better than us . We didn't try . Long periods of play from them as well as us of poor play and distribution . But im not taking away from them they dealt with us well . I always said staying up is the most important thing this season so agree with you there
-
Worst I’ve seen Alty play since Jim Harvey.
-
We were poor, a makeshift team yes, but still we had no shape, and our off the ball closing down lacked energy. They looked faster and fitter. Time after time when we attacked they had two banks of 4 in position within seconds and they closed us down. We never did that.
Toothless upfront overall, as others have said we need to strengthen this area.
No idea why only 4 subs, again very worrying.
I like seeing the pretty football we play, but we need to get the basics right, need shape to defend and press the ball when we don't have it. Hopefully PP see's this and will deal with the issue.
-
It must be said that our first 11 can compete with anyone in this league and we have been very unlucky with injuries.
I expected us to struggle this season, but thought we'd at least start off well before fading away. The fact we've started to fade so early is a serious worry. I disagree with those who expect us to come mid-table and I am expecting a relegation dogfight. We have little depth, too many Evostik standard players and are in desperate need of investment. Four subs is embarrassing.
-

Its a good point and I believe its because we are too slow when building attacks. Too often the centre backs split, the ball is passed too slowly along the back line, by this stage the opposition are set up in position, they press, our centre backs understandably become uncomfortable on the ball and its hoofed forward and lost. Ive enjoyed watching Parky's team, but I think its time we made some suitable changes to mix our play up and keep the opposition guessing.
-
For me there was something wrong between midfield and going forward. Phil says we need to be more ruthless going forward but I saw no evidence of that. I expected an improvement on the Blythe game I went to last week but we were toothless. Where was James Poole yesterday?
This proves we do not have enough quality strikers, we only had three at the start of the season. Tom was given his opportunity but for me was found offside 6 or 7 times. He did not make runs as expected, so forward balls went into touch or astray. Back yourself Tom. I felt that Shaun Williams was playing fine, making passes accurately and not giving the ball away but we did not seem to be in tune with what he was trying to do. One ball in the first half was played through by Sean Williams but Tom did noit read it and it went harmlessly into touch.
Why was Shaun not at right-back, as once Liam Goulding took the left back position we were better.
Very very disappointed with yesterday, several players need to ask questions of themselves and try and adapt to this higher level of football.
-
10 singing fans out of 400 on the Golf Road End was embarrassing as well.
-
A Sinnott Conference National team, basically.
-
I think I've said it before on here but I'm not sure Williams and Harrop work together well - Max saw a lot more of the ball after Williams went off. If they're going to play together I'd like to see Max playing deeper as he's better facing the opponents goal. Williams is a decent solid player and might be more suited for the Jake Moult role, who I agree with others is off the pace.
Thought Richman had a decent game at fullback Loathed to blame Peers & Hancock for not doing much as they were poorly served. JJ isn't getting past his fullback like he was last season.
I didn't see any lack of effort or disinterest, just frustration and a lack of confidence. Need to see more urgency from the back when we're behind!
-
Well that's another fine mess I flew in for. They comfortably beat us 2-0 and it could have been more. They looked threatening when they came forward and we didn't. At no stage did I even think we would score.
I next fly over for Hereford away so that could be one to avoid.
-
TBH Uncle G we could have played until midnight and still would not have scored.

Hereford is a nice City uncle G.
If it all goes tits up we could nip up the road and join the SAS ;)

Hereford clashes with my Times Crossword Final. Gutted.

Too many letters?

My boss is a Hereford supporter.
Fortunately, my pay review is due shortly before we play there, so I don't have any worries about us doing anything to upset him such as winning. Otherwise, it would feel a bit like betting against your own team. ;D

That direct train we’ll be on from London takes 3h 19m. If you can remember any of the game the next day it’ll be a miracle. ;D

That could be a saving grace (or should that be disgrace?).
