McAllister looks like trouble. I think maybe the commentators made too much of a possible penalty, but sounds like the Oxford player got into a good position.

On the whole it is just typical Alty luck, but don't forget what we did at Halifax having been outplayed early doors

But its only 3 shots on target to 1 (& 1 each off target) and posession 53% v 47%

Abingdon is close to Oxford. Yes, it does affect us - it affects a footballer and we have had this happen at ML

Meanwhile, with regard to how much closer it is on BBC text - remember local bias!

It's the manner of the defeat which is worrying. It could have been (could still be!) 10-0. I'm not suggesting we should have got a result from this game, but it has been a complete capitulation by the sounds of it.

It's another example of the 'we only care about Alty and everywhere else and everybody else doesn't really matter' mentality which occasionally besmirches our club.

is it my fault that my computer will not let me use bbc's radio services therefore limiting my knowledge of it? I was purely asking for some information about the incident and if it would be affecting our match.

Oxford were one of the pres season title favourites and were right up toward the top for the 1st part of the season. They have been playing below par for the last couple of months but they are still a full time team of some quality. We are a part time team rebuilding and - yes - not having a good game.

i accept that the new players might need a bit of time to gel together, but you surely have to have hoped that changing half the team would produce something better than a thumping. A battling one or two-nil defeat ok, but it looks like we've barely had an attempt on goal and letting in four shows poor defending, not good attacking.

we have praised them three, becuase they have done a good job. If you drew a diagram as to where the goals are coming from, it is th other player out of those three that makes a back four where we have shipped goals

Who would say that Coventry are better than Blackburn by 4 goals to 1? ? ? ? ? ?

FA Cup is different. Maybe you need to have a look at Altrincham's results over the course of the season.

To put this result into perspective, top of the league Aldershot 2-1 at Northwich, second place Stevenage 2-1 at Stafford, mid-table Oxford 4-0 against Altrincham.

Like UC says, a battling one or two goal defeat (as was expected by most of us) would have been acceptable. A 4-0 drubbing with no shots on target is atrocious no matter what spin people place on it. It is some consolation that the bottom 6 all look as bad as each other. The games at Weymouth and Droylsden and at home to Stafford and Farsley now become crucial.

"Alty never set out to draw this game." Maybe we should have been more defensive? "Normal service resumed!"

On the plus side, I get Jennifers milk for her & she gave the loveliest of smiles. The world is so much better again!

     few comments on the radio from there fans after the game i.e. it was easy although it was only alty,good win but alty were very poor,and worst team to visit oxford this season. in reality just about sums us up. luck you make your own by running for everything and being first to the 40/60 ball ala the vics game.as alty supporters we give everything think its about time we got something back from the staff ?

Sounds like we missed little and Senior upfront, rather blunt today.

But we just cannot seem to keep clean sheets.

Only two so far in 25 league games.

It is very very frustrating, especially when so many people have praised Lane, Shotton & Tinson over the season.

we have praised them three, becuase they have done a good job. If you drew a diagram as to where the goals are coming from, it is th other player out of those three that makes a back four where we have shipped goals

Sorry Butty, as much as I have praised Darren Tinson, as much as I like Ryan Shotton and as sound as Laney initially was that's a load of bollocks pal. I know the left back slot is a problem but it hasn't cost us 52 league goals.

For me any of the entire back 5 could be replaced at any time, it's not bad luck. Maybe we need 4 battlers across the middle or maybe we need to change to 5 at the back. I don't know. but 'them three' unfortunately have not done a good job.

Of today's midfield, will any of them have been a holding midfielder protecting the back 4?

Firstly an apology to Butty.

I'd posted my diatribe before I'd read your post fully. I'll hold may hands up to that one and, as I said apologise to you unreservedly. It wasn't supposed to be a personal attack really, more a criticism of the occasionally parochial and insular view espoused by certain of our following when any team or location other than Alty gets a mention

Secondly, maybe I've not actually been talking total crap all season and, contrary to popular rumour Mr Tinson is not the player he was at Burton or is purported to be here?

Suggestions if I may.

Lane at RB, Shotton and the guy from Halifax in the middle and Jennings? at LB. Nice card, cake, pipe and slippers for Tinson and let's see how the rest of the season goes

Phil-the suggestion that Tinson should be dropped is ludicrous in my view.Yes he did make an error for the first goal on Saturday & by his own exceptonally high standards he was below par.......but he was in good company.He may go on to play dreadfully for the rest of the season but for me he & Chris Senior have been our best players of the season to date by some margin.

Errr... Chris Lane?
I like Tinno dont know why he isnt scoring goals anymore, he use to bang them in from set pieces all the time at the start of the season.

Although we have not conceded 52 goals from the left back position, a lot of them have come from that area. Take out goals that have come from errors/defending mistakes there, and we may be left with a fairly respectable total. However, contrary to the beleif of ballers, I am not saying that lane tinson and shotton are 100% blame free. Ok, yes, they have leaked occasionally, but can you name me a defender in the conference who has not either a)had an off day, or b)is always perfect and cannot be blamed for any goals his side concede.

I rate Chris Lane very highly & believe that he was a good signing, but his performance level has dropped quite substantially in the last three months.He was outstanding in pre-season & the early part of the campaign but hasn't reached those levels since.

Darren Tinson scored twice in consecutive games against Aldershot & York but he is not a goalscorer.He scored one goal for Shrewsbury & none for Burton & in the last twelve years he has scored just six times.
