Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Torquay Match Thread
« on: October 22, 2022, 11:07:14 PM »Totally agree about Osborne and i fail to see why some rate him so much . He reminds me of Conor Branson from a few years back , another massive underperformer .
Well, what can you say about that game?
A real gamut of emotions experienced there.
Definitely two points dropped, in my eyes.
Torquay were utterly inept during that first half and we should have been at least five goals ahead.
Dinanga is just so profligate and I remain bemused as to why he took that penalty in lieu of Colclough.
Our second-half capitulation was so inevitable.
Fragile mentality and countless errors.
I simply do not rate Osborne (I was screaming at him for that brainless foul near to the end) and James Jones seemed to be all over the place (he appeared to be involved in a heated argument with Pringle after the final whistle).
I look forward to hearing Parkinson's analysis.

The moment Osborne gave that stupid free kick away i could honestly see the goal coming , keep your heads and just see the game out for gods sake . The loyal travelling fans deserved better .

We were once universally knownThat is bad Andrew, lets hope we can make some progress this season. Get the younger and older fans excited with a cup run.Any FA cup home match against a League club is special .Hate to sound like a Jethro Tull anthem but sadly it's been 27 long years since our last appearance in the 3rd Round and the dosh to be earned from a good run nowadays and with it helping to bring our ground improvements etc closer , makes results like this a double whammy .
Agreed. Enjoyable as it is to look back at Spurs etc but those mean nothing to younger fans. The Trophy means even less. Gutted about Saturday which was our opportunity to win the tie.
How young are we talking? I'm 28 and absolutely get it. Our FA Trophy record since the turn of the millennium has been a disgrace.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: People's first choice 11
« on: October 21, 2022, 08:23:05 AM »Blimey , half the squad must be claiming Universal Credit Swindells , Worth and Bert Lister were on that 😉Out of interest, what are people's first choice 11?
Including current loan players, 5 subs and everyone fully fit.
Byrne
Barrows Toby Baines E.Jones
Lundstram Marriott
Kaja Kossy Colclough
Dinanga
( current form )
Subs : Hulme, Con-Clarke, Cooper, Pringle & Bennett/Osborne
If we had everyone fit and firing on all cylinders, I feel we would be mid table. That midfield would boss games.
100% agree with this…. However, I do believe there are better strikers out there that get straight in our team and within a guessing budget of £800-£1000 a week. Hopefully the support promised by the board and our amazing physios can have this team in place and ripping up teams very soon!
Given weve offered some players £200 a week... This might be easier said than done

« on: October 20, 2022, 11:47:33 AM »Never been convinced by Osborne tbh , a downgrade on Jake in my opinion .I'd play Osborne or Hulme in the 10 and have Kosylo on the right, otherwise, it would be the same as your side.
I think Hulme could do well as a 10. The games where we don't need a 10 to assist the CM's.
Osborne for me is average, doesn't influence games enough. Known for his distribution but Jake was much better at spreading the ball.
Kossy was really good in the 10 position and I think age will catch him up for the wide position. Kaja looks strong and can put a decent ball in.

« on: October 09, 2022, 10:50:31 AM »Id have given Dinanga mom but Byrne was a decent shout.
No idea how we scored 3 in the second half as we only had the ball for what felt like 14 mins
Really hope barrows and Conn-Clarke are back next Saturday.
Fair play to Dorking who left 3 on the half way line ar corners and wanted to play, but when you're centre halves ate that poor you will ship goals
Burger and chips at half time 😀
