Fair point. To be honest I think we might well need more than 50 points the way this league is shaping up. Would be ecstatic with a point today.

Given the seasonal timing of the fixture I would happily substitute Mars for Lapland! ;) ;D

Would assume that commentary and live commentary is probably the difference.
-
My source at the game says we are playing the dreaded 4-4-2 formation again.
Why are we doing this when we had a different system that was winning us games?
-
This commentator is as camp as a row of tents!

2-1 to Grays now!
-
Bollocks! 1-2, pen to them, sounds as though we are somewhat lucky ref didn't send Coburn off...
-
Bollocks!
My thoughts exactly.
-
Bollocks!
My thoughts exactly.
My thoughts were worse!
From the txt commentary & stats it looked like Alty were much better in the 2nd half
-
Wow! I go away for 20 minutes to make some Bombay sweet potatoes and it's all been happening!
Come on you reds!
-
For me we now have nothing to lose. Get Elam on for Peyton and have a go at them!
-

Agreed
-
JUST seen it blast it
-
As things stand York overtake us on goal difference in the league
-
Senior off, Elam on.
Why bring off a danger man like Senior? I agree with bringing Elam on but we should have gone three up front at this stage!
-

Maybe put Peyton in centre mid to help cover the defence?
-
Looks like Elam is getting involved quite a bit
-
Please score Alty!
-
Looks like Elam is getting involved quite a bit
He prob wants to make a point to GH to get a starting place or 2 in the next few matches
-
Thought this might happen:
82:15 Substitution (Altrincham) makes a substitution, with Joe O'Neill coming on for Shaun Densmore
-
1-3, all over :(
-
Bo%%ocks
Looks like Col was close to getting an equaliser just before that goal
-
Oh why is it once we go behind most times we lose can we ever come back and win a game
-
Pre-Xmas curtain comes down.
Roll on the panto season and hopefully six festive panto points.
Oh and wish these two would stop moaning about the floodlights.
-
"The lights are not the best"
They're brand new you prat!
-
lol i cannot hear that at least some good news then and Vics losing 2-1 now
-
The result I would have liked (other than an Alty win) would have been Lewes to beat Woking - alas not to be.
-
Nothing happenning since the 3rd went in BBC has gone to sleep again

Can we please revert to the 3-4-3 formation for Boxing Day?
We actually won games when we used these tactics. It's not rocket science.
-
931 in the ground
-
Full time.
Fingers crossed for good results over Xmas.
-
Well, happy Xmas to all and hopefully a stuffing for the Vics turkeys.
-
thanks fro that still at 90+1 with BBC
-
Well, happy Xmas to all and hopefully a stuffing for the Vics turkeys.
Hope Elam can get some Hot Crossed buns over for Little & Johnson!
Oh! Sorry! Wrong time of year
-
I have just been told by a very reliable source at the game that the overall performance today was genunely encouraging.
In all fairness we've lost to a team who have won 8 on the bounce so it's not a disaster. Howevr, I stand by what I said regarding the 3-4-3 thing and we must throw the kitchen sink at the green slime over Christmas.
-
Just back. We did okay, referee pretty poor.
Disallowed goal I'm assuming was for a push, not that I saw it, and I didn't agree with the pen; the lad was looking for it. I thought the back line was decent, Johnson looked good when he was on, Elam was trying to exert an influence, midfield with Densmore back looked better, so all in all I'm not too down about things.
However, whilst it pains me to say it, Stu looked decidedly dodgy all afternoon. I hope it was just a bad day at the office.
-
i have to agree with you fuertes, Stu was not the best today, very indecisive at through balls.
Otherwise we played well today and I think we were worth a point.
NC has stated there hardest game of the season!
Lets carry that performance into the next game.
-
PEYTON and MEECHAN absolutely useless. >:( >:( >:(
-
How can anyone justify playing Peyton or Meechan over Elam and Johnson- its a joke.
I can't get my head round it. If we are going to play 4 4 2 then it should be Little & Johnson upfront with Elam and Senior on the wings.
People are going to say that Elam and Senior won't give us enough cover but thats rubbish as they both track back as much as Peyton & Meechan.
I just can't believe we have Lee Elam sat on the bench its crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
My starting lineup for Boxing Day would be as follows:
Coburn
Smith
McGregor
Young
Doughty
Densmore
Danylyk
Peyton
Elam
Little
Johnson
I feel a bit harsh leaving out Senior but I think his pace would be a valuable weapon later in the game against tired defenders. O'Neill to come on for his annual goal away at Vics as well! ;D
I think the above starting lineup would put them under lots of pressure which is the way we must approach a game like this. If you take the fact it's a derby game out of the equation just for a second it's a game against a lowly side who are very low on confidence. We must be in their faces from the very first whistle to the last!
-
Last comment about going at them is correct.
Perhaps ralphy for Stu?
Robbie for peyton if fit.

I've not seen Stu play since his return from injury so you are in a better position than I to judge that.
However, I do strongly believe that we should play the above outfield players in the 3-4-3 formation that won us so many games a couple of months ago.
-
Very encouraging performance by the lads with the next three games coming up, which will probably go a long way in shaping the rest of the season for the Alty.They are going to be like three cup ties! Let's hope we don't take our cup form into the games!
I thought we had strong performances from Jamie, Youngy, Macca, Shaun and Dale (when he got on)
Less impressed with Stu, Meech, Wozza.
Mistakes by the keeper are always magnified but I thought Stu's decision making (especially for the pen) and his distribution were the poorest I've seen from him. Keep him in for Vics away but...
We need big, consistent performances from our experienced players such as Stu and Col in the next three games.
I too don't understand what is going on with Elam - he only seems to get a "cameo" role nowadays. I would definitely have him starting ahead of Meech or Wozza any day.
I would also start with Dale. All too often we are clearing from defence and the lack of height of Col and Chris doesn't give us an option. It's just coming straight back. At least with Dale he can get a decent challenge in and hold the ball up.
What's the situation with Robbie? We are deinitely missing him!
Assuming Robbie is still out for Vics away I would go 4-4-2
Coburn
Smith
McGregor
Young
Doughty
Senior
Densmore
Danylyk
Elam
Little
Johnson
Vics are now without a win in 7 - they will see Boxing Day as an opportunity to start the Great Escape (again!) - it's going to be very, very interesting!
-
When Nigel Clough states that the match was one of the hardest his team have played this season it's testament that Alty battled well and but for a golden chance missed at 2-1 down there may have been an upset on the cards. Granted our first half performance was not the best but in the second we seized the baton and deservedly got back on terms.
Only downside is the long ball forward to probably the smallest attack force in the league. It's bread and butter to any defence when the high ball comes in with regularity. It's time the likes of Danylyk and Densmore are receiving the ball to feet and pushing on which will be far more effective than squandering needless possession time and time again. We need to have a bit more guile on our free kicks and corners as on numerous occasions their keeper plucked the ball from the air unchallenged. Let's vary it a little and deliver a ball to the penalty spot to create a bit more attack minded opportunity.
Looking forward to the Xmas fixtures and if we build on today we should soon come out of this small depression.
-
9 points over the Christams and new year will be very nice and very do able
-
What's the situation with Robbie? We are deinitely missing him!
Robbie situation was explained here: http://www.altyfans.co.uk/index.php?topic=7200.0
I would seriously doubt he'll be appearing again before mid-January at the earliest.

I believe that Dale didnt start as he'd been ill in the week.
Thought that we were genuinely improved from the Southport game. I believe that Cols goal was disallowed for a push.
Stayed behind the goal for the secons half, I didnt think it was a penalty - Cobs went our to Webster and Webster seemed to have poked the ball towards going out of touch before going down without any contacvt from Stu. It was also very disappointing to hear Burtons Number 4 asking for Stu to be sent off.
Third goal was defo Stus fault, behind the goal you knew exactly what was coming, except Stu who never moved for it.
However I still think we will be ok. Burton have now won 8(?) in a row, they will there or there abouts at the end of season and we really gave them a good game
-
From what I have seen of Meechan to date, he has been very disappointing.
To be honest, I thought that Peyton had a nightmare yesterday and was bewildered as to how he avoided being substituted.
As always, lots of effort but his passing has really deteriorated and it just looks like he's low on confidence to me.
Densmore and Danylyk were the pick of the Alty players for me.
