Think we should send an Alty 2nd string Xl and get the rest in training on how to defend long throw missiles for Saturdays game! I don’t think Wrexham will go full strength and with a few injuries, we got to be in with a chance of a point?
Why on earth would Wrexham not select their strongest available starting X!?!
Automatic promotion must remain their priority.

Cult: think the post was referring to the two attachments on the Altrincham site in the notification, he does look pretty good.
I don't put much faith in carefully assembled video packages of players!
I was rather hoping for some anecdotal evidence from Amsterdam Alty.
These EFL Academy players can be very hit (CCC) and miss (Adam Porter, Dan Malone etc).

From Fleetwood, sounds decent as does Danny Cashman
Well, John Edwards wouldn't exactly be doing his job proficiently if his press releases made them sound woeful!

Decent signing, and bang on my expectations for today.
Just curious...but based on what grounds?
Have you seen him play?

« on: January 28, 2023, 07:52:48 PM »We are simply haemorrhaging quality players.
CCC reportedly heading back to Fleetwood and now rumours persist that we have may have seen the last of Mullarkey in an Alty shirt.
Meanwhile, we are lumbered with a powder-puff forward line and a goalkeeper who appears unable to command his area every time that we defend a corner.
Not exactly a formula for progression.
Wrexham loom on the horizon and then the Bracknell FA Trophy tie becomes pivotal in keeping our season alive.
I confess that I am rather perplexed by the club's strategy at present.

« on: January 28, 2023, 07:44:56 PM »Hi SW. I saw Dave Furnival play! Wasn’t he a Les Rigby signing?
I can’t remember USA it was a long time ago. I felt it was before Rigby but I’ve never been good at matching time and events past. He was terrible though no doubt about that.
The abject Furnival was signed for Alty by Les Rigby during the 1975/76 season.

« on: January 28, 2023, 12:52:52 PM »I'd be interested if you could tell me the players I've seen here that have been worse.He could well be the worst Alty player I've ever seen and I've seen some bad ones in my time.
This is clearly absolute nonsense.
I don't know how far back you go or if you are just including strikers, but was Micky Hayde really better? I'll hazard a guess he didn't score six goals anyway.
Mick Hayde is a bit of an odd choice of name to pluck out of the hat in this context.
Admittedly, he possessed relatively limited ability but I recall him as an honest trier and a functional performer in Gerry Quinn's Alty teams.
We've witnessed far worse individuals than him wearing an Alty shirt.
I'm rather surprised that the dreaded name of Michael Twiss hasn't been dropped into this conversation.

There is certainly no hatred....he trys his best in my opinion and that 'best' proves not to be good enough at our level during 4 matches out of five.
It is not his fault he is selected. The club has failed miserably again to recruit a Conference National level number 9. He and Hulme are our best sub-standard options at the moment.
An entirely accurate synopsis, in my view, particularly that highlighted sentence.
The litany of misfiring signings in that department has been immensely dispiriting.
We've undoubtedly had worse 'strikers' than Dinanga but I seriously hope that we will be able to upgrade on him during the summer or else we could all be having the same discussion again this time next year.

« on: January 27, 2023, 04:46:14 PM »I agree re. Dinanga but the fact is (and it is a fact) he has scored more goals than Jordan.
If only he scored more often than once in every 5 or 6 genuine opportunities he's presented with. He's a total waste of space at this level.
It's 1 in 3.
Which in fairness is better than a lot of others.
One Foot In The Grave was referring to his goals per chances ratio rather than his goals per game ratio.
For the record, Dinanga's statistics are: 32 (+12 as sub) appearances and 10 goals.
