Always good to have a moment of calm once we've all slept on it; the fact we're furious to come away from the Shay without three points, on New Years Day and on an absolute dog of a pitch, is testament to how far we've come. That said, there's nothing wrong with continuing to demand more - as I'm sure Parky does - and it's a nice position to be in that we're doing so well and yet there's still some very obvious areas of improvement.
Parky did get it wrong - he's not perfect, but the in-game management does seem to be his most glaring weakness of the lot, given we've been here before.
Chris Conn-Clarke was having a stinker from around 50-70; for the first equaliser, it wasn't too dissimilar to the Brad Jackson one at Torquay that he got absolutely slaughtered for. Although that's where the comparisons end; you leave CCC on the pitch for those moments of quality which are sadly well beyond Jackson's capability. He also looks to be carrying a bit too much weight in my opinion.
Halifax could end up in the playoffs - and they looked poor for large periods of both games because we made them look that way. I'm confident that the days of being 'Conferenced to Death' by outfits like Bromley are a thing of the past and that we can get back on track.
Ah, "dog of a pitch". Could Dinanga have been 100% sure that the ball would not hit a divot and deflect wide? That the defender running back wouldn't stop it? And was he really off-side? Did he even have time to think about all this, and is he perhaps a bit rusty with his relative lack of game time recently? Here's the video anyway. Stop it at about 5.33 and see what you think.

For all the points you mention, earlier in this same thread I mentioned that the game management from the touchline cheesed me off much more than the split second actions of Dinanga.
That said, all of your points would have been analysed by a better forward and the correct decision made. Alas, Dinanga is not one of those individuals. Could I be certain that Conor Jennings or Jordan Hulme would have acted differently? No, probably not - but then again, we need a better quality than all of them.
Thought you were going to comment on something other than Hugh?Just wondering as I stuck to my guns in the end and didn't attend. I don't care what their excuses are, last season was unacceptable.
High sticking to his guns with something and turning out he was just making it worse for himself... Things that shouldn't surprise anyone.
You're obsessed and need to ask yourself why you never comment on anything but another person's posts. Do you actually support Alty? I've never met an Alty fan like you with your fixation. Seek help.

Play-offs would be fun but promotion isn't an option. All I want is to go in to next season with a solid nucleus of a team, rather than rebuilding again and having another disastrous start which seems to be the Parkinson/Sorvel way. Imaging where Altrincham FC would be int he table if they had started the way they are carrying on.
You teasy beaver!chin tickles all round
Ah AA, good to have you back!
I take it you prefer not to say if it was you at the Barnet game? Never mind, maybe I'll say hello anyway, always interesting to hear about Dutch football. How are you enjoying Amsterdam then (and Ajax Amsterdam?)?
Another great goal by CCC, what. Dark times indeed. At least you're on the right thread...
Er, bank holidays actually. Do these bankers actually do any work?After the worrying events of recent days, I feel I have to speak out again (or strictly speaking, write). I see that at half time yesterday, we were level on points with a team in the playoffs. The playoffs! What is going on? We should be nowhere near the playoffs. Just imagine we somehow got promoted - no doubt there would be ground "improvements" - when some of us have got used to the ground the way it is and would feel terribly put out. We'd be having to play rabble like Rochdale and Bradford City. And there would be bigger crowds - there might even be more teenagers. Teenagers I ask you! And not just in the Golf Road End. No doubt they'd also be on the popular side with their ringading ding talk phones or whatever they're called. And maybe even in the main stand!
Yes, we were going for election in the 1980s, but the NL today is similar to the 4th division then. And there'd be no more matches against proper non-league teams like Maidenhead. And no more promotion and relegation battles every season - just look at what happened to Rochdale after 1974 - now you wouldn't want to end up like that would you? And even our participation in the reviled, I mean revered Cheshire Senior Cup might be threatened - time was when Football League teams didn't participate, and it could happen again! And then they go and play a proven goal-scorer up front. OK, he was proven in the National League South, and very briefly in the National League, but with good coaching and game time, who knows, he might start doing it at this level. Yes, there was the so-called excuse that the substitutes were brought on late, and that with only a draw, no real harm was done, but I tell you, they're playing with fire. No, the only solution is to sell Colclough and put an end to this nonsense for good and all!
See you're on nights again mate!
He's got to go. Never want to see a certain player in an Alty shirt again.No arguments from me. blocked Byrne on their equaliser and I just don't know what to say about the other thing that happened.
