We haven't got the squad we need, largely because of Hulme going, but you CANNOT blame anyone at Alty for that.
Once any player has certain clauses in their contracts there is nothing we can do if they want to look elsewhere and, as much as I hate the idea of good players going down a level or even staying at the same level, if they are made an offer they cannot refuse we cannot rely on loyalty.

I know that the board and management are still looking around for options.

Cracking start to the season so far...

Just curious, how many points would people settle for for our games against Hartlepool and Dover?  For me, I would go to both looking for the win but I would be pretty happy with a draw at Hartlepool.  I know Dover can be a tough place to go to with the long journey and anti-football pitch (which we will have to consider) but nevertheless I feel like those are the sorts of games we need to be getting three points from, maybe I'd feel more inclined towards just a point if we had beaten Weymouth and weren't bottom due to unfortunate circumstances....

Not necessarily talking about the points. Hume leaving the day before the season starts, losing 2 weeks to Covid, the Hulme replacement being a player who's barely scored a single goal in 5 years, Max Clayton leaving, the list goes on.

They are still looking for options!

And this is the game I was thinking of... http://www.lusaweb.co.uk/020727mi.htm

Guys and gals, thanks for a very interesting chat, Lawrence, sorry you were cut off in mid-chat, the system timed out after 40 minutes. Possibly the quickest 40 minutes we have been through. Fabulous chat, and enjoyed our little get-together very much. Once the 40 minutes arrives, it cuts out automatically very suddenly. Remember I started a minute earlier to let you into the Zoom meeting.

Very interesting and I hope the participants also enjoyed this as much as I did. HSmith, sorry you could not make it but we will have further ones, hopefully same time next week!

Any other fans, come and join us for the next one, there were four of us today.

Harold/JD will PM with next one, Allison/Lawrence, I will WhatsApp message you for next one, all at a mutually agreeable time.

Thanks to you all!

Thanks to you Steve and great to meet Lawrence and Allison.

Chin up lads... lets go again...

Predicted Team...

                            Gould

Senior    Mullarkey   Hannigan   Hampson

                      Moult   Potter

         Mooney   Hancock   Kosylo

                        Adarabioyo

Will be hard ask away at Hartlepool... would be happy with draw & improved performance... prediction 2-2...

Chins - plural....certainly in my case!

It is a pity there were no replays on the live streaming, as I would like to see both goals again, as the first took me by surprise as well as Potter, and the second, as Cheshire Cat says, did seem far too easy.
While poor decision-making was a factor, we were punished for mistakes, which is normally what you expect when playing against a team from a higher division.
Matt Gould probably does deserve a go in the team, sooner or later  or what is the point in signing him, but I am disappointed to see Tony Thompson a target for instant criticism once again. On the same lines, it was particularly good that Tom Peers scored.

But other than that he was all but anonymous - understandable to a point as he had very little to work with, however.

We lacked energy and "Fizz" today, but 2 weeks off and, I guess, without a decent training session took it's toll.

Their goals were avoidable - very poor concentration and jus not up to game speed.}
Their midfield was stronger and Hancock hardly got into the game.
There was also some poor decision making, which you might be able to put down to a lack of game time, but things like TT getting the ball in injury time and passing it back to (I think it was) our left back, who could only pass it back to TT again!

Lads, short notice change, can you make it 1930pm instead, Allison is not available until then, I am still awaiting to hear from Lawrence also.

Try my best!
