Alty 2-1 Maidenhead
-
This would be a great one to win!
And I think we'll do just that - with the above line up.
Hope to see Zak Goodson coming on at some point.
-
Would like to see Hulme up top and play two natural wide players, one being the new signing and the other either Kaja or Goodson.
Need to get the later two match fit as quickly as possible.
-
What time is the pitch inspection?
-
Currently-2c in Altrincham and snow forecast for this evening the club need to make an early call on this to save any unessery travel.

Alty 2-1 Maidenhead
I reckon we'll give Egli another hour or so on the right, with Zak coming on in his place again - beneficial for both parties.
Rest of the team should pick itself.
-
The elephant in the room. The Weather. Pitch inspection?
-
I live by the ground, it was -1c at 6am as went to work. Ground at the local park was soft, so hopefully if we had covers in vulnerable spots then there should be no issue.

John Edwards club statement on website. Fingers crossed. Looking forward to it. Are hip flasks permitted?

Everybody in it's snowing

You'd need a plastic hip flask to get past the scanners. Alternatively put it on top of your head under a thick hat ! My old bones aren't up to 2 hours standing at just above freezing, so I'm swerving it.

Always take mine and not been stopped yet! 😉
PS. Famous last words! 😂🤣😂🤣

How’s the weather holding up in WA15
-
Alarmingly, it is snowing as I type. Not heavily, but snowing none the less

Fingers crossed then.

Snowing did not stop us playing at school....even if a blizzard......then again our PE teacher was ex-Gestapo
-
Blimey, where did you find a school like that?
Schools aside, surely a match can still be played in a light covering of snow. I seem to remember one of our greatest ever results was in the snow, where a huge effort was made to get the game on and a man called Pritchard was the hero!

Reminds me of the cult Ken Loach film Kes , wi5h Billy Casper stuck to the goalpost as the goals rained in . All rime classic.

Trying hard to remember the game you mention but can't . please remind me . That midfield trio of Heathcote, Dickinson and Pritchard was very good though .

I remember at St Johns Junior school,breaktime we were given shovels and told to clear the snow off the steps.Also my first game watching Alty was the 1963/64 season and the game was an FA cup game at Moss lane,The snow was about 3 inches deep and you could only see half way across the pitch but the game did go ahead,though called off in the second half when the fog rolled in making it almost inpossible to see less than 3 yards in front of you.

Go on then, who is Oyedele? The UTD kid? Love it when Phil throws a name on the bench I've never heard.
-
BIOGRAPHY
Versatile Salford-born Poland Under-18 international.
Oyedele is adept in defence but has primarily played as a midfielder in the U18s during the 2021/22 season. With physicality, good feet and an eye for goal, few have played more regularly for Travis Binnion’s young Reds.
The highlight of his season came in the form of a third-round FA Youth Cup strike against SC**thorpe United. Oyedele has progressed through the ranks at United having enjoyed casual ‘samba football’ sessions as a young kid at The Cliff.

Is Cooper injured. You’d think he would be on the bench?
-
maybe Maxi will cover it all
-
Is Cooper injured. You’d think he would be on the bench?
He never gets a game or as sub. He is a decent defender
-
Radio Robins is playing music. Again. I've given up with it, the link up with Radio Alty isn't working for me.
-
how come there isn't a fixed connection for internet on the gantry after all these years?
-
If that American bloke has invested in Alty could we please have a decent Wi-Fi installed just missed the ALTY goal because we had a musical interlude instead ffs
-
not wifi, have a hard wired connection over there.
-

We had a groundsman (Mathers iirc) and he hated the idea of anyone stepping on his beloved turf!
-
Sounds like the Daleks have invaded on Radio Alty.
-
not wifi, have a hard wired connection over there.
Either way up it's not robust enough. I can only comment from my own experiences, but RR reliability has tanked this season.
-
How can the stream stay online but radio robins not?
-
10th.. My God Alty know how to put their fans through the wringer. Could and should have won easier, but hey ho 3 points.
-
Yes would like to see the Dinanga and Jennings efforts with 'keeper to beat' again.
How the hell did they block that effort from Kaja, not to mention the pinball melee just after
-
Terrible really. We were massively the better side but had a couple of lapses and then it got nervy at the end.
-
Good result. massively dependant on ccc .
-
Should have called it off this morning, can no one read a weather forecast?

Away to the now defunct Macclesfield Town in 1996 when they were going for the title. Dean Pritchard scored a hattrick in a 2-3 win at Moss Rose, helping to scupper their efforts. I think we had a few players out, hence the herculean efforts to get it on. One of our greatest result may be stretching it slightly, but goodness it felt like it at the time!
-
Should’ve been more comfortable but a win in this league is superb any way it comes. We seem to have a bit of an issue clearing our lines at times putting more pressure on ourselves and got caught out a bit at right back for the second goal
On the positive side we look so good on the ball now, great pressure on Maidenhead who,at times couldn’t cope with the overload. Chris conn Clarke was superb and I’m just glad we’re taking full advantage whist he’s here. Fantastic 3 points and up to 10th well in Parky, Neil and the lads.
-
As above. Win is a win. Well done to all, especially groundstaff ensuring game went ahead
-
Indeed well done all on a deserved win. Another 3 points and up to tenth, great effort from the lads tonight. Probably should have scored one or two more to make it a more comfortable win. Chris Conn-Clarke superb again. Also thought Egli Kaja had a decent game, helping out the left back at times and unlucky not to score himself. Maidenhead took their 2 goals very well, the second came totally against the run of play and pretty much out of the blue.
-
An important win against a spirited albeit limited Maidenhead side. Some cracking goals by both sides in very difficult conditions too. Hopefully Gyasi available for Saturday to give us another option. Yeovil a game we should be targeting 3 points in for sure.
-
An entertaining game and a vital 3 points. Not to put a dampener but without CCC we would struggle. We desperately need a half decent striker
-
Sadly I think CCC is doing too well now (like Newby and Colclough) - surely either Fleetwood will make use of him around their first team, or any number of League Two sides (or the Big Three in this league) would come swooping in for him instead. I suspect it won't be long before he's knocking on the door for a Northern Ireland call up too!
To stand any chance of securing him permanently, I suspect we'd need to sell another - but I'm sure the lad himself knows he could move up a level.
A lot to be said for enjoying your football, though - judging by his social media he loves being here - so let's hope he gives us to the end of the season at the very least.
-
He's good enough for the Championship. The best bet for mid-table Fleetwood would be to allow him to stay here until the summer. Then recall him and integrate him into their first team with a view to selling him on for a healthy fee later.
-
Good to get the win and deserved. nervy at the end as Osbourne kept giving away needless fouls that put us under pressure.
Pleased to See Dinanga score and the flag not go up! he is getting in the positions, just needs to be more clinical. CCC, I do hope we can arrange a deal for hm loan extension or otherwise. He thrives in this team.
Should and could of won by a more handsome margin, but another 3 points on the board. Upto 10th, amazing. Lets hope crowds increase, more turnover and increase in playing budget for Parky, allowing better standard of personnel to come onboard.

I'm not sure we'd need to sell another, given we've just sold our marquee player for our alleged largest fee since JJ who acquired Durell, Mooney, Mahon and someone else.

Should have been out of sight.
Very tense for the last 20/25 mins.
Should have kept at them, Goodson would have been a decent sub.
Bringing Osborne on was a mistake. As harsh as this sounds, the lad is a liability.
Not only is he way off the pace, he gives away endless freekicks. Never learns, lack of pace and poor positional play.
Pringle was quality when he came on, two through balls were quality.
Lundstram, E.Jones, Con-Clarke and Toby were all excellent.
Thought Kaja played well, keep him fit and we have a decent player.
Still need the pace, hopefully from the Chesterfield winger.
Decent 3 points in the end.
Keep going boys.
On Con-Clarke, he is so good,but I have this feeling he wil never be a regular in league football. Just about gets away with runs in the National League, will be stopped in the league.
Hope I am wrong as he deserves his chance.
I can see him being with us permanently in 2 or 3 years, if we still have the same management team and FT.
No doubt Fleetwood will give him a go.
-
It's been quite a while since I've attended a match at the J Davidson Stadium which has started amidst snow flurries.
An entertaining game in light of the conditions. We had some excellent opportunities to have won far more convincingly and it did get rather unnecessarily jittery during those final 15 minutes or so.
Two sublime free kicks from CCC which Graham Heathcote in his late 1970s/early 1980s pomp would have been proud of.
Dinanga was once again deadly from five millimetres out.
Alas, Jordan Hulme still looks well out of sorts. Their second goal was initiated by him giving the ball away cheaply when undertaking some strange needless attempt at a 'scooped' pass.
Incidentally, I've just watched the Alty TV highlights and Matty Kosylo is a splendid and honest summariser.

Can't get to many Tuesday games but caught the second half on Alty Radio . Like the majority have said , any win in this league is precious and mostly hard to achieve . As for the players i agree once again with most of the comments , especially Osborne followed by Dinanga , Byrne is a work in progress as is Goodson , Hulme not stepped up in this division , CCC as per Colclough , Kaja needs more minutes , Pringle deserves more minutes . The two newcomers hopefully can get some game time as well, they both sound pretty useful . Got to say too that there is , and so it should be , great to see so much positive vibes on here at the moment . Long may it last .
-
Hulme is playing out position. He is a number 9 and not been given the game time in that position, which Jennings and Dinanga have been given.
Like when Baines was played at LB, when he is clearly an excellent solid CB.
Mullarkey in CM and so on.
I do feel it is Hulme's last season at this level, would be nice to let him have a few games, in a row, as CF.
He also will not be fit, especially wide position fit.
Pringle should 100% be given more game time, even if we are winnng I would put him on over other options.

Incidentally, I've just watched the Alty TV highlights and Matty Kosylo is a splendid and honest summariser.
I was delighted with the conditions at kickoff, it gave me a chance to do my best/john King impression out on the Chequers End (think Kingy stood on the roof of the dugout in torrential rain)! I tried this in a match against Kidderminster once, all prepared with my big coat, flask etc. - at the front oof the pop side - and then a hail storm stopped the match and sent me scurrying for cover! I would challenge anyone to have remained out in that!
There was a suggestion on the video that the first CCC goal took a deflection but I couldn't see any evidence for this, either at the match on the Chequers End or watching the video back. The main question seems to be, would we have done any better bringing Goodson on iinstead of Osborne - but to be fair, probably not many managers would bring on a forward when defending a 3-2 lead.
-
After watching the highlights Dinanga does deserve a good bit of credit for his (not insignificant) role in the second goal before he tapped it in. A very good give and go and he managed to get himself into a dangerous position after that. Dare I say it was a proper centre forward's goal. Fair play.

I was sat in main stand, no one touched CCC first free kick, it outswing in via the post. Personally I thought it was a cross cum shot to the far post. But great it went in.
-
I agree that the first goal went in off the post with no-one touching it. I was right behind the goal. Jordan earned the free kick but no-one seems to want to mention that.
While I'm on my soapbox I'd like to point out we're still playing as a one-sided team even though Coco isn't here anymore. There was virtually nothing coming down the right wing, almost everything going down the left. No wonder Jordan isn't showing up as much.
-

A very good give and go and he managed to get himself into a dangerous position after that. Dare I say it was a proper centre forward's goal. Fair play.
My impression from the commentarhy was that he stole his goal, but the highlights show a defender veryt close so I can give him the benefit of the doubt on this.
Dinanga does remind me of CR7 (stop laughing) insofar as he needs a hell of a lot of chances to get his goals. There is something there, his set up play is pretty good and he gets into good positions, but he is a trypical striker in that he is best acting on instinct than thinking.
-
Reminded me of school way back in the day. Put Dinanga and CR7 into a sentence. I had great difficulty then but this takes the biscuit. 😂😂😂
