Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Southend Match Thread
« on: November 27, 2021, 06:47:24 PM »I've hardly ever been critical of PP but he really does need to learn that not starting with your best team is going to cost you at National level - we're not Evostik now.
Everyone knows the best starting 11 at 5 o'clock. People on here have been banging on about "Pringle must start" etc etc etc. Well today he did. We were just crap in the first half.
Sorry, I don't agree with this.
Clear patterns are emerging. Peers and Pringle are pretty much always best as impact subs. I like Pringle when he comes on but I have never seen him start well (which is a mystery tbh).
Mooney is (and has been all season) our most dangerous forward and as such should always start when fit. That's pretty obvious too.
The lad from Stoke. I'm not sure what he has contributed in his time with us, other than to be withdrawn at 2 down.
I said it at kick off to my lad, not at 5 o'clock. PP needs to learn or teams like Stockport and Wrexham will be out of sight by half time.
Credit to Southend though. They had a game plan and took advantage of our mistakes. I'd take their number 9 (Murphy?) in an instant. Dalby was very good too.
Yep, fair enough. I pretty much agree with your views on those Alty players. Just found the afternoon very frustrating overall, less so after an ale or two now.
