Title: Southport Away
Post by: Knutsford Alty on January 30, 2007, 02:52:53 PM
I’m nervous already about the Southport game, bearing in mind our away form this season.  Saturday’s game must be a game where the players can be positive of gaining three cricial points.  The table is very tight down there and a win can push you right up the table. 

COME ON ALTY, COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be nervous, Knutsford, just get up there with the rest of us and cheer those mighty Robins home to their first (but not last) away win of the season!

Here's your inaugural Goodwin to cheer you up  ;)

We have to win. Simple as that - a gutsy point away from home will not do now.

If we can win - and I think we can (AND MUST) - and presuming Tamworth lose again I think we can stop sweating about the bottom two places. Yes I know everyone can go on a run, but I think this would leave Tam and Port too cast adrift needing a massive turnaround to be safe.

We then only have to worry about the other two places, which we know we can avoid. There are definitely more than 2 other teams worse than us this season BUT - they all seem to be able to win away at times when they need to.

We need to back this win up with some follow on results. York will be tough, but we need to put more of a run together. Too many times this season we have got a good win only to not follow it up. A couple of back to back wins between now and the end of the season should do it, along with a few of the unexpected draws we always seem able to get.

See you at Southport.

Trust me i know what you mean, i feel saturday will be pivotal. A win and were up the table and won't look back, untill york that is! yes yes i know people i was joking.

a loss and were in the mire in a big way, being an optimist it won't really phase me but to be fair i can't be arsed reading all the people coming out and predicting doom and gloom on us i can imagine it now "if we can't beat a team below us without a manager...", "oh were in there now i just don't see us getting out of the relegation zone again", "the away wins never gonna come" blah blah b-lah.

and after that mini rant lets get predicting!!

2-0 to us senior with the first and his first for the club second from bush ala woking!

Hard fought 2-2 with doom and gloom being spouted from people on here. First time ever a football season finishes on the 3rd february when you read the comments on here.

We are going away to another part time team who are in a more 'make or break' situation that us. Yes they have only won 3 games at home but we haven't won any away and BOTH teams will see this as must win.

Praying for a win but think its going to be hard, and probably windy. A performance like the second half v Kiddy and no matter what the result we have given it our best shot.

have to say gaz if we play as well as we did second half at kiddy i'd be expecting a destruction! we were excellent but at the same time bevan was like a gluestick, everything stuck to him

If we can start well, and not just get going for the second half, then I can see us getting a 1-0, maybe a 2-0 win. However, I'm not holding much hope for some decent grub.  Was awful last time.

I dont care if its perceived as "doom and gloom" (this is a forum and not a continual positive thinking cult after all), I agree that Saturday is a must win game - not just for the 3pts we will garner, but for the players mindset.

Just for the record, I think we will win on Saturday so I guess that makes me positive too.

ioko, we were not getting at you personally surelly you reading it like that says more than we ever could?

its not so much the build up its the post match doom and gloom that pisses me off. by midweek its seems forgotten about and everyone goes on about winning the next week. when were in tamworths position then i would be ok with hearing things like i mentioned above but we not in an at all bad position relative to budget, games left to play, and the closeness of the league.

once again i re-itterate my post was not directed at one person in particular, but a general doom and gloom we encounter after every 'dropped' points situation

This is one thing that concerns me; how many "games we should have won," will there be at the end of the season? Not too many I hope!

For the record, I think Northwich & Stafford are the teams that most need to look over their shoulders.

Im hoping we will just edge it. I didnt think much of them when they came to Moss Lane. However there is the potential new manager effect.

Wonder if we do win the match, will their fans start fighting each other again?!!!  ;D

Can be tricky at Southport with no roof and the wind to get the atmosphere going but if we take as many as last year we will do ok!

Two things I nhow for sure about Southport.

First off, it will be a very physical 90 mins.

Secondly,  it really is the seaside town they forgot to close down.

I like Southport, although the front is a bit ropey the town centre is pleasant enough.

Obviously a draw would be great for us Vics Fans, but I personally think you have far too much in the tank than Southport. My money is on an Alty win.

On February 20th, our home form vs your away form..............something will have to give!

Can't go on Saturday, got to go and buy an 18th Birthday present for my eldest daughter, thats after taking the youngest swimming. From past experience the best time to get food is either before the match or during the first 20 minutes of the first half, much after that and they will have run out. Personally I'd eat before going in.Go in full waterproof clothing as there is no cover and the away end is very open to any weather that is unpleasant, a brolly is a bit of a problem when its windy, unless of course you want to do impressions of Mary Poppins.
Please, please give the lads an extra big yell from me.
Thanks, Alli

I now live only a few miles from Southport and I can't remember a game I was so excited about. It is vital that every Alty fan travels to this one as it is a massive 6 pointer. I'm bringing a few lads who haven't seen Alty for years to boost our support. If we can make it into a home game then I'm sure we've got enoughto beat this lot. COME ON ALTY!!!!
