Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Dorking Match Thread

Big big win that obviously meant a lot to the players judging by the full-time scenes - well done to all the supporters that rallied round the team, I have no doubt in my mind that the fire in the belly the players started the game with was in no small part down to the reception they received before kick-off (and I'm not normally a fan of pyros!)
Dorking have obviously started resorting to the dark arts much more frequently than they used to, which perhaps is symptomatic of their league position - I have little sympathy for Regan Linney in those sorts of situations because you're always going to get verbals with opposing players and you can't give the ref a decision to make like that - he needs to learn (and that goes for Matty Kosylo too).
My biggest worry now is that the players will be completely out on their feet - we've never needed a freshen up more when it comes to loans, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dan Mooney come in from the start on Saturday seeing as he should be nice and fresh, hopefully Justin Amaluzor (and obviously Ethan) can make a contribution too.
Regan Linney will be a big loss, given how essential he is to the way we play - we can't get away with Dior Angus I'm afraid, he's not good enough (which was never more evident than last night).
Shout out to George Wilson for his energetic cameo towards the end - he really helped to take the sting out of their momentum with some timely interceptions and ball carries.
