In Tinson's defence, I think that it's only fair to point out that when he was signed by Alty last Summer, it was with the Blue Square North in mind rather than the Blue Square Premier.
Also, he only missed one league game last season, so he was certainly not one of those players who prefer to watch from the main stand and collect their wages without swapping their club blazer for a red and white striped shirt.
However, having said all that, I agree with Gary W that Tinson did seem almost an automatic choice when the potential pairing of Shotton and Young in central defence seemed a far more promising alternative and I am certainly not mourning his departure to Nantwich. We can't afford to concede 82 league goals again next season.
