[One Foot in the Grave]

Last time they were here, we got hit for six. This has to be treated as a serious trial of the line-up that PP has in mind for the big kick-off next week.

They're going to be a cut above anything we're likely to encounter in the league this season, and a narrow defeat would be no disgrace. Get it right though, and we could just upset them. The main aim has to be to avoid injuries, and get our tactics sorted.

[Steve from Sale]

The team we have now is far, far better than the one last time we played them. I think that was Neil Young's team then, wasn't it?

I am going to the game tomorrow and looking forward to it. The club can be slow at times to update their .com website, yet John's site updates every evening from 10pm. No match preview as yet showing any updates, and last updated two days ago. May update tonight, lets hope so as game is tomorrow now.

[Alty Dave]

Barring injuries I would expect the starting 11 to be close to the team that will start next weekend for the 1st league game. Looking forward to how we lineup.

Last time they were here, we got hit for six. This has to be treated as a serious trial of the line-up that PP has in mind for the big kick-off next week.

[RageAgainstTheFirstTeam]

If anyone's interested in the whereabouts of the amazing "lost 6-0 to Fylde squad"...

1. Callum PRESTON - Last seen at Aberystwyth Town, left the Welsh club after making one cup appearance.
2. Sam PATTERSON - Never played again after departing from Alty.
3. David LYNCH - Now at Alfreton following spells with Halifax and Southport.
4. John CYRUS - Last seen at Frickley Athletic, current whereabouts unknown.
5. Simon RICHMAN - Still with us.
6. Alan GOODALL (capt) Playing in the Welsh Premier League with Aberystwyth.
7. James LAWRIE - At Nantwich Town
8. Jake MOULT - Still with us.
9. Danny HATTERSLEY - Spent time living in Australia and doesn't appear to be involved in the game.
10. Damian REEVES - Recently signed for Ossett United following spells with Shaw Lane and Gainsborough.
11. Simon GARNER - Retired


Subs:

12. Jamie MENAGH - Spent last season in the North West Counties with Runcorn Town.
14. Sean MILLER - Recently signed a new deal with Curzon Ashton.
15. Charlie JOYCE - Another who hung up his boots at an early age after leaving Alty.
16. Sam HEATHCOTE - Now with Widnes
20. Andrew DAWBER - Last seen in the North West Counties with Charnock Richard in 2017.
 

I know it's a less than illustrious line up, but to think the likes of Patterson, Joyce, Dawber etc decided to retire in their early/mid twenties shortly after is pretty strange. I know they weren't good enough for Alty, but they'd all been on the books of some big clubs and tipped for great things. I wonder if they were all just wildly overrated or if we ruined football for them?

[Steve from Sale]

I have heard that Walters is returning from his trial at Brentford and is playing today according to the .com site.

I really hope that Chadwick and Walters sign for us as I feel they both have a lot to offer. This would give us a squad of 21, 22 if you added Dontai as a squad player. Can we afford this in our budget, or is it one or the other? I hope Phil takes a punt on them both, but lets see what happens today and Tuesday.

Only game i have ever left at half time  , a complete disgrace of a game and shows how far we had fallen due to piss poor  management from the directors who employed such a terrible manager , in fact  i did not return till the appointment of pp so i hope we will put a better performance in against them .

At least you only missed one goal

I feal if I don't go ile miss out on something
Yep I'm very bored

[Sarf London Alty]

Well that’s an excellent tonic a week before the season starts. Seems we have real strength in depth now too and options aplenty off the bench and if we can beat Fylde we can beat anyone in our league. How was the pitch looking by the end? Seen some video footage of how wet it was. Looking forward to coming up next Saturday for the curtain raiser.

[Alty Dave]

If that was a league game it would have been postponed, pitch waterlogged. That's a worry with the current forecast for next week.

One tough game against a very physical team. Good to get a win, but concerned over the few players that got injured.

There is strength in depth now, but not a bottomless pit if we keep picking up injuries.

[PukkaPieman]

Really encouraging performance again. Hope Richmans foot isnt broken, might be metatarsals ? He had another good game, as did the whole team against a team tipped to win the conf prem this season.

[Bath Alty]

Who played at 10 today - couldn't work it out from radio robins

Also where was Max?

Williams until Hancock replaced Ringo
Also where was Max? injured

[Alty Dave]

Max I heard had hamstring issues, hopefully just a precaution.

Think Ringo was in the 10, occasionally Willo was there.
