Absolutely no idea wht kind of team PP will start with,however I think we will be to strong for them especially with home advantage
3-1 to Alty and would probably think about 1800 in attendance with 450 from Congleton
-
Att. 1500 - 3-1 Altrincham. The bears to score first, or equaliser before a professional 2nd half sees us ease home.
Gould
Perritt Jones Ferguson Jones
Lundstrum Marriot Osborne
Bennet Hulme

I'd be very happy with that! 👍

That’s about right but maybe Goodson his earned a start over Bennett? Pringle has started every round too, so may retain his place.

Think that would be my pick actually. 👍

PS. If we can build a lead, perhaps some substitutions could be made to rest key players?
-
Just a thought, should the match go to penalties, I would definitely want Goodson and Linney still on - and therefore maybe not starting. And in the circumstances, I would absolutely prioritise this over Aldershot Town, let's have a grand finale to the season!

Rest players for what? A dead dog game at Aldershot? Nah, 100% on this game with a cup at the end.

We will win 4-1 no pound pies

Hadnt considered Goodwin being available tbh. But yes, he could start. Perhaps even Bennet Linney Goodson Hulme, and dropping Osborne to the bench.
Bennet needs as many minures if we sign him, which I suspect we will.

99% sure the answer is no, not even for friendlies, now we are National League.

Booked our tickets, were around 615 sold earlier, so creeping up. Assume a lot will pay on the gate..

I'm so out of habit of buying a ticket (As a ST holder), I imagine there will be others similar.
I would be disappointed if we didn't hit a minimum 1200
-
We're ST holders and paying on the gate.
PS. We've got our tickets for next season too 😉 👍
-
Attendance 1150 we will win 4 -1. No pound pies. No stoppers . No flares
-
4-1 on penalties? I must say I wouldn't mind a pound pie!
That reminds me:
She wore, she wore, she wore a scarlet ribbon
She wore it on a - Thursday in the merry month of - April
And when I asked her why she wore that ribbon
She said it's for the Alty and we're going to - Moss Lane!
Moooss Lane, Moooss Lane,
We're the famous Salty Alty and I'd say it's more than likely that we're going to Moss Lane
Let's all do the Congle, let's all do the Congle, a naa naa naa, a naa naa naa... ;)

Take more water with it mate
-
Quietly confident about tonight, but we will have to play much better than last Saturday. No complacency, more clinical.up.front and please may we have a clean sheet.
Cliche Warning!
The all important first goal.
-
We've played weak teams against them a couple of times in the past and been beaten in this competition.
I hope Parky takes it seriously and puts out the first team. If he does, surely we'll win it.
He must be aware, despite the disparagement of some on here, that some silverware would be another demonstration of progress for the club.

I believe parky will play a strong team tonight, he wants some silverware for the next team photo!
-
Hopefully the rain later won't put people of turning up and paying on the gate Hopefully don't attract the wrong sort of fans tonight like we have on occasions this season.still go with my prediction of 3-1,but with an attendance of 1500.

Good interview with Regan here if not seen it.
Sounds like were up for it tonight.

I know to some “it’s only the CSC” but if the club want to press on, then tonight is an important process in the progression of the club and I am confident PP will be giving this game his full commitment. Having some silverware of any description will give both fans and players something to be proud about.

Garbage

I want to avoid saying anything negative so I will just like to say how good they were and wish them all the best.

4 out of 5 ain't bad . Massive summer . Give the management the money
-
Not much to be said about that, utterly embarrassing & a black day for the club.
A lot of players are nowhere near good enough & clearly defensively PP & NS really have to think hard about their approach in the summer. 93 goals conceded in all competitions, Aldershot sling enough crosses in on Saturday night & we’ll have a good chance of ‘achieving’ 100.
Shameful.
-
A new low for the season, total sh*t show on the pitch and fighting in the golf road.
-
Just got home after diversions on the M 56.
That put the top hat on it.
Only one word describes that game, shocking 🤯
Can't say more at the moment as I'd probably get banned.
-

I didn’t see any fighting. When was this?
-
Can I say a big well done to a brave and resourceful Congleton team, who did a proper job on us. They deserved to win it in normal time and it was right that they won the shootout.
-
V disappointing performance. We were comfortable even after they scored their first. What became apparent was the failure to convert the chances we made; we do persist with plan A even when it isn’t working. A lot of work to be done in the summer.
-
I see their assistant manager is our old friend Anthony Griffith.
-
I’m afraid our management team are too one dimensional. No plan B as usual. Why oh why do we pass the ball backwards or sideways so much, we have nobody who can bring the ball out from the back with any confidence. Even Congleton sussed our system.
We looked like the part time outfit.
We desperately need two new keepers.
James Jones was off the pace. Luke Burgess needs to return to Oldham, Bennett isn’t the player we had at the start of the season.
Pringle is too one footed.
The penalty shoot out was a fkn Joke.
Another 130 mile round trip I wish I hadn’t done.
Thank Christ that this season is over.
The Big announcement that is meant to be disclosed to those attending the end of season dinner (which I won’t be there for) had better be along the lines of a lot more money is going to pumped in to attracting players who are a lot better than most of our squad, otherwise we will be definitely be in a relegation struggle next season.
Finally Congratulations to Congleton, you bloody deserved it lads

Spot on.
A mortifyingly abject performance, as our wretched finale to the season concludes with six home games without recording a solitary win.
I've not been so relieved to see a season limp away into the distance since those infamous days of 2016/17.
Congratulations to Congleton Town. I certainly didn't begrudge them their victory and, in truth, I would have been rather embarrassed if we had somehow contrived to have won that match on penalties.
I don't want to see Gould, Bennett and Burgess ever again and it's manifestly time for Pringle to move on.
After a week during which Parkinson haughtily lectured Alty supporters about taking the Cheshire Senior Cup seriously, it's a pity that he didn't express those same views to his players prior to kick-off.
I can only hope that he possesses the humility to apologise for that debacle.

Pretty much agree here, I imagine the announcement is a contract extension for the management duo.. The defence needs sorting, the GK area needs a revamp, new coach and a keeper to challenge Ollie as a minimum. we'd have been better with Forde in goal. I agree over Burgess, no thanks and Bennett needs to get fit, then we might see the old Bennett. Will be interesting to see how we freshen up.
In reflection whilst we were slow inmoving the ball we did have enough chances to win 3 or 4 games, need to be clinical.
I'll renew my season ticket once I see some positivity returned in the refreshing of the squad.
-
We were fitter and more skillfull and still managed to lose.
It's a good thing Jake's testimonial won't be a competitive game. :-\
The only positive I could take away from the game was that Jordan has massively improved his fitness compared with the start of the season, all credit to him.
Where we go from here I'm not sure.
I don't think there is a big pile of money waiting to be spent for next season but we shall see.
-
this team has lost that cohesiveness that earlier part-time lower division parky sides had by having pretty much the same players on the pitch game in game out. this year i believe being full time has worked against them as there have been too many loan players and too much chopping and changing. of course having to sell two of the best players didn't help. if this game had been played in alty's evostik season i believe they'd have won as that team was used to winning and expected to win. i think this team is full of doubt.
having said that the players on the pitch should have put their chances away. i believe a cows arse and some banjos are being delivered to egerton later this morning for additional practice.

Far far too many loans this season . Yes they certainly improved the team but it isn’t the way ahead if we are serious about progressing up the National league table on a consistent basis. We have to do it under our own steam, and be able to sustain it, otherwise we have to be brutally realistic and lower our ambitions, I’m tired of hearing that we have one of the lowest budgets etc like it’s a badge of honour. We need some serious investment, this is a dog eats dog league, then there is the stadium improvements to find funding for. IMHO we are a long long way off league football.
-
The reality is without the loans we would be back in the national north come September.
We need a stable team but how we fund one of the right quality remains to be seen.

In fairness we've had new directors and their investment coming in which has enabled us to go full time in the first place. If you look at some of the very highest wage bills in this league you'd need proper sugar daddy money to compete so in that case it's a reasonable point comparing ours.
Totally agree with you re the ground. A pound spent on that is a pound less spent on the team and we badly need to spend on it. Rock and hard place springs to mind
-
Got far too many players wrong in the summer
-
How embarrassing was that? What a slap in the face for the fans at the end of a bitterly disappointing season. It’s hard to see how going full time is a positive when we’ve not improved our league position and bottled 2 cups. At least we stayed up this year but next year is not gonna be easy. We seriously need to address our keeper situation and Gould needs to go ASAP. Him coaching Byrne is the blind leading the blind. Step it up lads
-
Phil, "I can't put my finger on what it was .."
I don't know Phil, maybe we have relied too heavily on loanees and our own players are just not good enough?

Totally agree and said this last night.
-
A lot to do in the close season, the truth is we're just not doing the basics in either penalty box - we don't take our chances and concede far too easily. Whilst playing as badly as I can remember a Parkinson side doing (Shildon included) we still had enough genuine chances to have won.
-
As disappointing as last night was, we need to be realistic here about what we are up against. Totally agree that we have had too many loans throughout the season, but as said earlier, without them we would have been relegated. The goalkeeping situation is tricky. Byrne will hopefully improve those aspects of his game that are currently a weakness and develop but an experienced polished keeper at this level would probably cost three times what we are paying Ollie. Gould is absolutely not good enough to be relied upon as a backup keeper at this level though. A younger keeper on loan a few levels below unless we need him would be a better option i think.
-
I am utterly speechless. I can't believe Parky doesn't see what we all can see so I do have hope that the situation is addressed in the summer.
It's as clear as day that without the loanees and the departed wingers we're just not good enough to survive in this league next season.
We need to sign, as lots on here (including me) have said, a dominant experienced keeper, a centre back to partner Baines and guide the back four, a number ten (whether or not Kosylo returns) and two goal scoring wide men.
Also, is there any chance of some finishing coaching at Egerton from Colin Little?
We must get our targets in the doors as soon as possible and not leave it to seeing if we fancy trialists three quarters through the pre season friendlies. We need the players to have bonded well before the new season kicks off so we don't have a mountain to climb after ten games like this year.
Still can't talk about last night. Mrs S was madder than I've seen her at an Alty game and she's usually very calm and positive.
A very depressing end to the season for us when we were hoping for a positive to cheer us over the summer.
Still glad we got our season tickets early doors though.
PS. We're likely to get walloped at Aldershot aren't we? But we'd better get used to it because without the signings we have outlined and all know are essential, it's going to be happening a lot next year.
Having said all that, come on you Super Robins!

Due to a prior booking couldn't make last night but sounds like I dodged one! What was the crowd please?

Thanks SR😁
Very welcome. Wish I'd had a pressing other engagement too. Something more pleasant like a visit to the dentist! 😂😂
-
We also have to remember that last night we were playing a team who are 4 levels below us. That is a serious worry. Wrexham / Notts county would put double digits past our team last night.
-
I don't think they would have. We had the majority of the possesion. We had most chances but couldn't score. Against County or Wrexham I agree we would have lost but it would have been a different setup, a different approach and a 3 or 4 nil defeat.
I hope none of this is going to impact Jake's testimonial. He doesn't need to carry the can for what is going on.

Given the gulf in status between the two clubs , this was probably the most embarrassing competitive result in memory , eclipsing the likes of Pwllheli , Winsford , Cammell Lairds , Trafford etc .

Matt Gould dropped the ball because James Jones came flying back in to him. Whether there was a shout or not I have no idea. I wasn't too impressed by the stares Gould received afterwards. Didn't reflect the best of team spirit.
