Big ask Tuesday, another fulltime team. Here's hoping we can cause a shock and get a point or three. Glad I'm not picking the team as I am sure Parky is starting to feel some pressure with us being bottom of the league.

Glad Tom Peers has opened his account now, he will do just fine.
-
I'd be thinking about 3 centre halves for this one and play Hanks as a false 9. Fingers crossed for Lundstram coming back too.
-

Tom Peers will not score more than 5 goals this season.
The players do not trust him. Matty Kosolo decided a better option was to continue running at 4 defenders than play Tom Peers through.
Our strikers won't cross, and nobody playing Tom through.
Keep playing Tom Peers and we will be relegated
-
So who would YOU play up front in his place ? I was baffled yesterday that we took him off when we were needing a goal, and he'd already scored, and replaced him with Curtis Miller who simply doesn't have the requisite experience.
I notice Chris Porter is warming the bench at Crewe. I know he's 36, but he's scored 157 career goals, including 12 in 26 league appearances in last season's promotion campaign. He could be just what we need.

Honestly, after 4 games, anyone.
We could try and stretch the game with Cisse uptop (Parky said he could play there, hence no need for a 3rd striker), we could play Hancock up there with a ballplayer Kosoylo or Mooney behind him; or a runner like Williams. Senior could easily play on one of our wing-backs.
If it's about making it stick; I'd rather have Toby up top than watch Tom "Pleased to be in the dressing room" Peers amble about.
Tom is getting cricistim - before anyone starts - as his job is to score/create goals. He's not done that in 5.
Prior to today, we'd kept a clean sheet at home, and one 1 away to Eastleigh (Notts Count was a blip) otherwise we'd be criticising defenders too.
-
Hashtag, if you and the rest of us can see the situation clearly, why would you think PP and the management can't?
Give them a bit of credit especially after the last three years 🙄
I believe what can be done is being done and we've got to trust them.
Some of your recent posts, whilst not inaccurate, are certainly not helpful.
-
It's a difficult balancing act for the management. The balance between rewarding hard work and loyalty pitted against the need to survive. Who'd be a football manager eh? I think PP has got it right practically every time in the past and there's no reason to believe that he isn't working on that right now.

Loyalty didn't exactly work out over JJ and Hulme.

We lose 2-1 because of a mistake by TT/Potter (whoever you want to blame) and a lapse in concentration at the back, Peers scores to get us back into the game and is then subbed straight away and yet all the blame is thrown his way by certain people. Grow up and pick your games to criticise him more carefully next time.

Thompson hasn't been the reason we haven't won a game this season; he's been sold at Eastleigh and at home to Weymouth (perhaps should have done better for Notts County's second).
We lost the game because we didn't score more than the other team.
Weymouth (Pitch aside) we didn't look like scoring, Notss County didn't like scoring until Mooney came on.
We'll go down for not converting draws into wins over the course of the season.

Here's how I expect Hartlepool to line up tomorrow:
GK Killip
RB Cass (on loan from Newcastle)
CB Odusina
CB Johnson
LB Ferguson
DM Featherstone
RM Donaldson
CM Shelton
CM Holohan
LM Ofosu
CF Bloomfield/Oates/Parkhouse(on loan from Sheff United)
They are an attacking-minded team that, like us, like to play "pretty football" so it should be quite an enjoyable game for neutral fans (if there are any). They are dangerous all over the pitch, they have two wingers that like to drift inside and score goals, both the central midfielders attack the box and often get on the scoresheet and the full backs both bomb forwards and get crosses into the box for the forwards to attack. They are often left with three men back (the two CBs and Featherstone) so I wonder if we will be looking to counter them and win the transitions - potentially a game Ceesay could be effective in with his pace. It'll be a tough ask but if we are 100% there defensively and we are more clinical in front of goal than we have been this season I am certain we can get something from this game.
Predicted lineup:
Thompson
Senior
Mullarkey
Sutton
Hampson
Moult
Potter
Mooney
Hancock
Ceesay
Peers
Densmore
Hannigan
Richman
Kosylo
Fisayo
Come on Alty!
-
Thompson
Senior Mullarkey Sutton Hampson
Moult Richman/Potter
Mooney Hancock Kosyolo
Cisse/Fisalo
Richmans ratting might work here, but Potter's experience will settle and organise, we need pace and someone to cross to, hence the strikers.
-
Thompson
Senior Mullarky Sutton Hannigan White
Moult Richman
Mooney Hancock Kysolo
-
I can't see him getting overly creative, like some of the posters on this thread.
He'll persist with Peers - but other than that, it would be good for Senior, Hannigan, Richman and Mooney to come in - possibly White if he really wants to rotate everyone.

Molyneux starts over Ofosu for Hartlepool and Parkhouse is favoured over Oates and Bloomfield.
-
I'm not convinced that we have a stronger team than last season with Jordans departure. We obviously need to rectify that quickly. Playing Peers when he wasn't good enough for a place last season just illustrates the problem
Need at least a point tonight.

But that is the only position we are weaker, shame it is such a vital one if goals don't come from elsewhere!

Good luck today boys! 😉
We're all here with you! 👍🇵🇪

I have had to turn the sound off on the live streaming. We have just been introduced as Altrincham Town. FFS.
Let's hope the Radio Robins comentary is in sync with the vision.
-
Powderpuff first half. >:( >:(
-
Don't know what to say about that. Was already to write not enough talent, not enough ideas, but at the end of the day we've stopped one of the favourites for the division from creating very much and could/should have won it.
-
Gutted about our injuries but it sort of forced us to have a load of attacking players on the pitch and we played much better.
Kosylo was very good in the middle of the park, very calm. Shame he missed the pen.
TT wasn't the best again. Their commenters said he would be a good rugby player because he kicked into touch so many times.
Both injuries to Toby and Richman look bad.
Good point.
-
Who'd have thought we'd be disappointed at not winning?
Delighted not just with the result, but with a performance of character and attacking endeavour!
-
Sickening finish - but so pleasing to see such positivity from young Senior at such a late stage of the game.
As the game wore on, I did quite fancy us to nick something, but we really need to start chalking up some wins soon.
We're competitive, and I think we'll get better too.
-
A lot of positives to take from that performance, very worried if Ringo and Toby are out for a while though...
-
I think Senior is class, I'd play him every game!
-
We were outplayed in the first half and fortunate to be just 1-0 down at half-time.
Two good saves by Thompson but his kicking was alarmingly erratic at times.
Much more competitive during the second half and we grew into the game and started to make them look ordinary.
Mooney and Peers appeared to be indulging in their own private duel to see who could take the most abject free kick. Then Sutton popped up with a timely header.
I would have loved for us to have had Durrell on the pitch to take that penalty!
I'm afraid that Adarabioyo looked exactly like someone who had been struggling to get into Curzon Ashton's first XI.
Worrying injuries to Mullarkey and Richman.
I am a little concerned that an additional negative aspect of the abrupt sale of Hulme is that Hancock's impact on games appears to have been diluted, as the two of them enjoyed such a fruitful understanding.
Still undefeated in competitive fixtures against Hartlepool (one for those of us who fondly remember 24th November 1973 at Moss Lane. The spirit of Andy Windsor lives on!).
-
I can't add anything to the Cult's post, although the previous game against Hartlepool was (just) before my time, except to say that it was an excellent save rather than a poor penalty and, in all honesty, a draw was a fairer result than an away win.
-
My worry about Hancock is that this is a league too far for him.
Dare I say John Johnston could have ripped big holes in that Hartlepool defence.
Our desire to launch it was quite depressing at times.
How long before Mooney is fit enough to start?
That game needed Sean Williams in midfield (and that's not something I say very often).
-
Would have settled for a point before the game .Still need a centre forward and midfielder
-
Superb result to go and get a point away at Hartlepool but obviously feels a little bit like 2 points dropped at the moment. Especially impressive since we played sunday afternoon too. Well done to Phil and the lads.
-
Listened on RR, great commentary and we grew into the game.
Onwards and upwards. Point sounded fair, but would have been great to nick it.
-
Sounded like a well battled for point on Radio Robins. Have to say well done to Parky and the lads for a gutsy well earned point at a difficult fixture 2 days after the cup games and following a 2 week lay off.
Best wishes to the 2 injured lads Ringo and Toby.
Yes there are areas to improve but also lots more to be encouraged about.
-
Well done to PP and Sorvs most thought Dens would replace Simon . Clever sub bringing on Kosylo. Simon’s injury looked horrible, get well soon fella.
Shame we couldn’t convert the penalty,
Excellent result against a fancied opponent expected to be close at the end of the season.
I’m well impressed with the start we have made, 3 away games against arguably the three teams fancied for the playoffs and a home draw on a soaking pitch. Yes Hulme Durrell, Et al have gone . We will get over that.
I’ll start worrying if we are in the bottom 3 at the end of Jan...
Onwards and upwards.
-
A game of two halves I thought tonight. Had we been a couple down at HT we couldn’t have really complained but as the second half wore on we increasingly bossed it & were full value for a point. The injuries definitely marred it, Richman looked a bad one but Mullarkey less so, let’s hope they are both less bad than they looked.
I really like the look of Senior at RB, very dynamic & aggressive-I think we’ve got a proper player with him. The new signing Adarabioyo needs some training sessions with his new teammates to gel & could study Ceesay’s game in running the channels & hold up play. I thought Sutton was excellent when he came on too & well done on his goal.
I expect Hartlepool will be in the play offs come seasons end so you take that a a very solid point but now we have to back that up in a very big game at Dover on Saturday.
-
Eventually we were good value for the point (gutted that the pen was saved but we didn't quite deserve the win). Ceesay was excellent, but the new guy didn't really impress me. Senior was my MOM, and Kosylo looks a quality signing. Hopefully Toby and Ringo won't be out for too long. A win at Dover and we'll click into gear.
-
First half we were poor but thanks to some quality saves by TT and some composed defending we only went in to the break 1-0 down which is what all good teams do, stay in the game no matter what. Second half we were excellent, the Alty we all know and love, I would go further than saying we made Pools look "ordinary", I actually think we were better than them for large parts of the second 45. I think overall the ref had a pretty poor game, how their lad escaped a second yellow for that challenge I will never know and I also thought it was a straight red for keepers if they handle the ball outside the box (but may be wrong)? Worrying couple of injuries, especially Ringo, hope he's alright and it really isn't as serious as it looks. I thought the new lad showed potential and grew into the game. I thought Ceesay had a pretty good game, effective like I had predicted. We all know Hanks is a quality player and I think it is very naive to say that he's not good enough for the league this early on, I think the departure of Jord has effected his game, like you would expect, but let's hope when the team settles in and Parky finds his best XI Hanks can begin finding his rhythm again. Kosylo was absolute quality yet again, he is some player, shame about the penalty but that's football unfortunately, I thought it was more of a good save than a bad penalty. Also, Senior, once again looked fantastic and I know I'd be starting him whenever fit and available. Tony made a few top class saves but as we know his distribution is his weakness - I reckon if he had the kicking to match his shot-stopping he would be making some football league teams because he is a fantastic saver. Delighted with the overall performance and the lads' spirit and I just hope the missed penalty doesn't come back to haunt us later in the season. Well played Alty.
-
There's nothing new here. We are a very good team and last night we showed that with a very brave performance. We just need someone who can put the ball in the net. Unfortunately, I think that the injuries to Willo and Ringo have prioritised another position we now urgently need to fill. 100% expect a new face/new faces this week.
-
How long have we had trouble scoring from Pens on a regular basis i mean

Quite a while, we dont score enough of them and need to find a regular taker and a backup.

I'm surprised Mooney didn't fancy it.
-
Great commentary on RR. It was edge of the seat stuff at the end. First time I've felt exhausted after the game.
The injury list is worrying. That was our undoing last time we were in this league.
Good to hear Ceesay is back on song though. He took a few knocks last night too. I hope we aren't in a league of cloggers.
-
I have had to turn the sound off on the live streaming. We have just been introduced as Altrincham Town. FFS.
Let's hope the Radio Robins comentary is in sync with the vision.
unfortunately for me Radio Robins was way out of sync. I switched commentary off after they accused Alty of trying to get their player sent off as Ringo was being lifted onto the stretcher. Strewth!
-
Radio Robins was about 30 seconds ahead of the TV streaming on Sunday too. The guy from Fylde was OK so I stuck with him.
I didn't sign up for streaming last night.

We have been linked with Brad Abbott, a central midfielder who only recently joined Grantham Town from from Boston...

Pleasing aspects:
We looked fitter than them last night, and finished the game stronger - whilst the injuries are racking up, it could of course be down to rotten luck, the lads have kept going for 95 minutes every game.
I didn't actually mind us going a bit more industrial with our balls down the channels in the last 10 minutes; they were looking weary and had started to make plenty of mistakes (culminating in the penalty of course).
Whilst he's still a bit of a rough diamond at the moment, Senior looks like an absolute gem. You don't sign for Burnley for no reason, I just hope he continues to develop (particularly the defensive side of his game) and that we can have him for long enough.
Parky has some really good squad options which means he can rotate effectively, it's reassuring to know someone very capable can come on if someone has to go off, we really don't have any passengers these days.
Less pleasing aspects:
By his standards, Hanks has had a poor start to the season. All the more reason in my opinion to give him a go up top; he knows where the net is, we know he's got the quality to retain the ball, and I think Kosylo could slot in at No10 really nicely with Ceesay & Mooney either side.
Sorry to have a pop, I know it's a forum and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but the hysteria after the Fylde game - after 2 weeks of isolation and bugger all training - was a bit much. Yes we probably won't trouble the top half of the table but I think we'll be OK.

I would hardly say "threw away" - Fylde are a very good side and we had only trained once in the last two and a half weeks. I thought after we settled into the game, we started playing a bit better.

The pen i must say the keeper did well,he guesses correctly and made a good save.

I think the phrase "threw away" is an insult to our (part-time) lads that are really going to be stretching themselves for us this season.

We didn't throw anything away.
Where does the figure of £16k come from?

Even though I don't agree with him, I took it to mean the prize money for winning plus the amount for losing in the next round. (could be wrong yet again) 😉

Spot on Saughall, have an imaginary Goodwin 😁
It - of course - could be more.

He probably did mean that but that is rubbish.
That’s like saying if we lost to Man U in a later round we would have threw away whatever the amount was for beating them for God’s sake.
Ok we weren’t brilliant that day but I’m afraid that’s life...
A bit of reality needed here me thinks.

Not really, had we beaten Fylde, regardless of anything else, in the game that were were so poor, we'd have £16k. Regardless of anything else happening.
That 16k is 50% of what fans raised in the midst of a recession and Pandemic.

How long have we had trouble scoring from Pens on a regular basis i mean
Ever since Warren Peyton missed that pen against Luton I've never felt confident when we've taken them (with the exception of Durrell).
