Well done men, good to see the team come from behind to win at last.
Please Lee, don't ever leave Reevesey out again.
-
Agreed, great result. Well done lads! :)
-
Wish I'd gone now ,what a result ,just goes to show if you have fight and belief you get your rewards .Now go on and beat Kidderminster
next week .....superb performance
-
Will Leather be out for three games?
-
Well done Lee, and the boys.
Gutted I couldn't get there.
-
Great result. When I took a peek after 70 mins it didn't look too clever then .....That boy Reevsie did what he does best.. Why this manager doesn't pick him is beyond me.
Well done Damo. Well done Alty, and well done to the Community Sports Hall project team.
-
Amazing thought we were dead and buried
I bet there were some really happy people clapping
-
Will Leather be out for three games?
I think he will
-
Unreal.
Well done. Gutted I missed it.
According to bbc stats there wasn't one corner!
-
As odder game as I've been to in years. Delighted with the result, reeves must play, needs to be on the pitch, balls in the box, he will score. Gillespies miss at 1-0 was mcgoonaesque, a great unexpected win, especially at 2 down. We stuck to our game and didn't panic and passing football won the day. Special mention for Adam Griffin, as gooder left sided altrincham performance as I've seen since the days of Paul showler. Outstanding today griff.
-
Very happy for the fans tonight.
To make the extra man count from two down is not easy, especially away and especially when your shirt says Altrincham FC on it!
-
Great result for the fans who were there. It makes the journey home special. Shame it will only be the 40 miles back from Wrexham
-
Get in well done too all ;D
-
Let's get pissed

Let's get pissed
I agree

Sinnott got away with his awful selection today. They played the first half like they had never met before and we're all over the place. The replacement of Perry by Reeves at h/t made such a difference, although the 1 man advantage was important too (although in typical Alty style we made hard work of it).

Same as the Grimsby side I believe plus Perry was responsible for setting up our only chance of the half (for Gillespie) so did quite well I think. Reeves has been quiet in recent games so I can see why Lee has gone with this team. Brilliant response from him though and when given the opportunity to attack and swing balls into the box then there's no other player better suited to the job.

I wonder what the future holds for Gillespie. Two glaring misses from 12 and 8 yards in his last three games. 1 goal in 8 starts plus a few sub appearances. You'd even pick KP ahead of him at the minute, which is a frightening thought.

Cant believe what i have just witnessed , a most bizarre game indeed , to hear both sets of supporters singing you don't know what your doing was funny , proud of the way the lads fought back .

Yes, that is the overriding feeling, particularly after being 2 down at half time. I'm glad we were able to make the extra man count in the end but I have no issues with the ref's decisions to send all 3 off. Full marks to him for being consistent.
Excellent performance from Alty. :)
-
will there be any highlights available ?
-
Couldn't believe the stupidity of Bishop. Already booked, could surely see the ref wouldn't show leniency, and dives in like a Liverpool Alehouse League defender !
It was obviously the turning point of the game, but I'd already formed the opinion that it was the poorest Wrexham side I've ever seen. They could soon be in serious contention for the drop zone on their current form.
We were poor in the first half, but full marks for the professional manner in which we made our numerical advantage count.
Just a word of sympathy for Steve Gillespie.....the ball took a dreaful bobble just as he was about to stroke it home. I still think he has plenty to offer us.
-
Fuming.
Today was the Conference photography challenge day for the month of November and I wasn't there.
I reckon a photo of the celebrations for our third would have nailed it.
-

Search Wrexham FC on you tube. Interview with their manager on there already after today's game. If you want full highlights you have to subscribe but there should be goals/sendings off at least in a brief highlights video.
-
They were recording everything, from the arrival of Perry, Marshall, Clee and others and their walk in, so it will be posted on You Tube, I am sure
-
What a fantastic result and never gave up, well done lads. The wounds from Blyth beginning to heal slowly but surely.

KEVIN PIETERSEN?!?!?!

Cant believe we didnt score 4, not happy.

You know how it is when you are at work and catching up with the game as and when you can on |JL's excellent updates and you are 2-0 down and then you look again.....
and then you look again......
and then you look again......
and then you look again......
and then you look again.....
and you realise it IS true we are suddenly 3-2 ahead.
Yes I did keep reloading the screen as I couldn't quite believe it.
Before the game I thought we might get something, but not at 2-0 down with 20 mins left. Well done Alty!
-
Strange and odd game. Ithought the selection was right and we bossed the possession until the sending off. Changing formation in the 2nd half was crucial too. Apart from durrell, wrexham were very very poor.
-
Can't agree about the selection being right how can reeves be left out
-
I can see the logic of perry being at the front of the line. Reeves can start but if we play that formation it will be for gillespie behind perry and alongside lawrie

Gillespie wants to up his game a huge amount or go and we had plenty of ball but looked toothless without reeves which we are

Gillespie should never play for the club again after yesterdays farce
-
Pretty sure Reeves was not fully fit, but certainly glad he came on.
-
You will never convince me that Perry should be picked ahead of Damo.
If Perry got himself fit then it may help his cause. I know people on here will say that Perry scores goals but my argument is, how many could he score if he made the effort to get fit.
KP? .... Not for me .
I would love the manager to tell me the reason he rates him ahead of Damo. But then this manager baffles me most weeks
-
I don't think he does rate him better than reeves he thinks it's just a different style to win a game to be fair to perry he isn't playing to bad but when we leave out reeves I can't remember it working
-
Just a word of sympathy for Steve Gillespie.....the ball took a dreaful bobble just as he was about to stroke it home. I still think he has plenty to offer us.
No sympathy here, he was lacksadaisical in the extreme and barely even looked at the ball when he went to tap it it in. Just seems to sum up his career here so far. I mean, that gift horse should have been blasted into the goal and a bit of fist pumping, but it was listless.
That doesn't come out right I suppose, you don't have to blast it but he just didn't look. And I don't know if I'm being harsh here but he looked mightily relieved to be sacrificed to bring Tom Marshall on. I mean, compare the reaction if you'd tried to drag say Walshaw/McKenna etc off...

The selection wasn't as awful as some he's come up with in the past but Golf Roaders last sentence explains why his first couple are wrong. Damien Reeves simply has to play, he has to be on the pitch. The man is a goalscorer. I sincerely hope that Lee Sinnott does not fall into the trap that Ken McKenna did in thinking that because Reeves doesn't always (look like he is) offering much that we are somehow better off without him. Just two more Damien Reeves tap ins that season would've kept us up.

I think we're in danger of pigeon holing players here.
Firstly Perry was okay when the ball was played into him but I called it about 15 minutes in that it was such a fluid game that we needed more movement up front. We were getting plenty of space on either flank but he wasn't getting there (to be fair the pitch was about the size of the Serengetti).
I'm not sure if Perry is the lead target man why Reeves can't play just behind him. At times we talk about Damien like he can't actually control a ball and only plays in the 6 yard box. I think his all round game has come on quite a bit actually in recent times and was shown again yesterday (he's certainly a hard worker. If Perry is going to flick balls through, lay them off etc up front, I think I'd prefer him to do it to a player who's scored 100+ goals for us, wouldn't you?
Now obviously, we don't want him forever dropping deep and working in areas he's not effective (which will happen whenever KP doesn't move at all) but you don't have to be a 'number 10' in the Cantona, Zidane whatever mould, you just need to get the ball, give it to someone then get yourself in the box. And Damien can do that. He doesn't just know where to stand in the penalty area he knows when and where to run to as well.
As an example of him starting from deep and making a superb run just look at his first goal yesterday.
My preference fwiw for the strikers would be Reeves and Lawrie. Lawrie likes to play off Reeves and I think we need him to stretch teams with his pace getting beyond defenders a little more.
-
I think it's fairly simple if reeves clee and leather play enough games we will stay if they don't I'd be shocked if we stayed up

I think in Crowther, we have someone if clee is out (but he must start)
Shame can not be currently said about reeves
-
Very surprised at how clueless Wrexham were for the last half hour. All three of our goals came from the same source yet no-one seemed able to stop the crosses coming in, Adam was stood on his own and had time and space to deliver the ball. Surely the manager has to take blame for that.
Oh, and if Damian hadn't have replaced Kyle Perry, we wouldn't have won.
