Title: The 'Favourite Worst Striker 2016/17' Award
Post by: andrewflynn on February 02, 2017, 04:22:16 PM
Sponsored by tears, misery and disappointment.

Emile Sinclair looks like Suarez compared to the other nominees, IMO.

Has to be Phil Marsh, he actually got some game time and was so far out of his depth.

I forgot all about Sinclair.

This raises the haunting spectre of 'player' of the season.

In my view this is either not held to show respect to previous winners, or it is handed uncontested to Fabio Bassangue to demonstrate how abject we have been.

An idea I considered proposing to the club was to dedicate the Player of the Season award to the fans, in a bit of a 'twelfth man gimmick. After thinking about it a bit more, though, it's probably wiser to simply not make mention of anything. Such is the severity of our downfall this season, something like that could easily look quite condescending.

I really do believe it should not be held. It is wholly inappropriate and insults some great names from the past.
 If it is held I shall vote for Fabio.

You could make a case for Sean Miller because he's been a bright spark and he's scored some crackers, but I whole-heartedly agree that the award should not run this season.

The first 2 are made up names, surely. Did they play for the first team?

Metz, loanee from Burnley, supposedly a champion sprinter. Played at Halifax without distinction then injured and went back.

Bell, loanee from Gateshead. Looked slightly promising in a poor team display at Gainsborough before being subbed. Went back to Geordieland and has since been in their first team picture.

Why limit the vote to strikers who have left the club?

Assuming that we now have Reeves, Owens, and Hobson left who are out and out strikers, none of them would rate worse than the bunch of clowns above.

And your evidence for that is..?

Reeves - has been a hero for Alty but is now finished.
Hobson - I've barely seen him play, let alone score (has he scored yet?)
Owens - flaps around alot, bless him.
Lawrie - still baffled by those who claim he contributes anything.

Yep, it's much easier to say that a young lad who turns out for a game or two, is the worst striker ever to wear an Alty shirt, when the real source of the problem is the sh*t contracted last summer.

Hobson has scored but is out with a broken bone in his foot. Both he and Owens are limited but do at least give 100% ( I'm basing my opinion of Owens on appearances elsewhere).

Lawrie isn't a striker in the context of this poll.

Reeves is admittedly not the player he was but still better than any of the poll selections.

Hobson has not scored in the league mate. Reeves hasn't scored since a cup game in October - God knows when he last scored a league goal.
Owens granted, does try very hard and I wish him the best.
If they are better than the lads who have left, we are simply choosing between sh*t and sh*t.

Reeves' last league goal came during the 2-2 home draw with Chorley on Tuesday, 6th September 2016.

I would have Reeves all day long but the rot in the whole of the team has destroyed confidence at all levels

He won't stay this time anyway

And I bet he wishes he hadn't this season

Phil Marsh is the winner in the losers competition.

Big bag-o-sh*te.

One of the best threads in a terrible season - comedy gold !

Edit: just read even more comedy on our website about the Southport job:

There have been other names linked with the job too, including ex Chester and Altrincham manager Neil Young but that, it is said, is not likely to go ahead.
