looks like they've just beaten Rochdale. Unbelievable result.
Shows where we could get if we'd played better two weeks ago!!!

Obviously we have to remember our relative positions in the table, but Fleetwood could be there for the taking.
They have had a run of draws and were outplayed by Cambridge last weekend, with a strengthened defence and a bit more luck/composure in front of goal this could be the ideal game to start off a recovery.
Apparently at Wrexham (so my spies tell me) they moved the ball about well but had very little in terms of a goal threat, if we can frustrate them they could be vulnerable later on in the game. I am looking forward to Saturday now.
In Ken we trust, come on Alty!!

Does anyone have any idea of what the team will be for Eastbourne.
Should give us a good indication of how Ken wants us to play in future.

Apart from Rushden last season, I cannot think of too many games where we have scored in the last ten minutes.
Unfortunately, the only goals scored in this time are at our end. If it happens in a few games it could be called a fluke, but it seems to be happening with a depressing regularity.
Is it something to do with fitness, or is it pyschological? I am sure GH is wrestling with the problem right now!!

Bloody ITV!!

An advert comes on then we get back to the match to see Gerrard running away from the goal with his arms in the air.
That's twice it's happened now, we should ban ITV from showing important games! It only happened in HD apparently!!

Did anybody see this a few weeks ago, watch the guy on the right after Sir Geoff makes his shocking admission.

By the way, we are going to be playing in the Blue Square Bet Premier League next season. Quite a mouthful, really.

I think today proved that we are very close to being the genuine article. I thought that after the goal we were the better team and we could have easily drawn, maybe even won the game.
We are just missing that extra bit of confidence in midfield that some teams in this league seem to have,  with the result that we give the opposition too much respect and give away soft goals. When we have to come forward at the end of a game like today we have shown that we are able to take players on and beat them, something we don't do at the beginning of games, resulting in some very good chances being created.
 Remember Wrexham and Wimbledon at home?? Like today we gave teams that were no better than us easy goals and then created chances at the end that almost got us back into the game.

With Tom, Dale and Matty hopefully coming back at the beginning of next season, I think wholesale changes aren't required. Two or three players will probably have to go to free money and freshen up the squad. With Col already going who else should we leave behind?
For me it would have to be John McAliskey and either Robbie or Ant. Harsh. maybe, but I really believe we are so close to pushing for the play offs and some extra poise alongside Tom Kearney would give the rest of the team that extra confidence to take the game to the opposition from the beginning of the game, rather than waiting until it is too late.

As devoted football fans, I am sure that, like me, you can hardly wait for The Game of the Century this weekend. It will also give us Alty fans who are rightly outraged at our teams recent poor form the chance to register our disapproval by staying away from Moss Lane.

Mansfield v Wrexham will be a game of at least 50 shots on target and probably 100 crosses in a showcase of attacking football. It will be a crossfest of such intensity that the BBC and Sky will have to take notice and televise all the BSP games next season.
It is just a shame that the paragon of hard, yet fair defending, Frank Sinclair will have to sit this one out. What an inspiration and role model for aspiring footballers he is!

It is hard to call the result, but one thing is for sure, football will be the winner!!
