Coburn
Densmore, Smith, Willaims, Doughty,
Sheriden, Kearney, Danylyk, Denham
Senior, Burns.
Subs- Saunders, Clee, Welch, Hefferman, Pearson
Not much option really. Nice to Welch's name, but what happened to Thaker?

Nice to Welch's name, but what happened to Thaker?
Do we know whether Clee and Welch have merely been added to the list of subs so that we have five names on it....or are they feasible replacements?
-
I suspect that as Michael Welch's first post injury training session was on Thursday night that his action if any would be as a late substitute. Given Clee's recent upturn in form I would have assumed that if he was fit to play he would start. Who knows?
-
I'd forgotten that our old grass-inspecting friend Yemi Odubade is now at Stevenage.
-
Think Clee got studded on his foot, so I think it's still rather sore.
I presume Welch is there but no where near match fit.

Yes, and that piece of knobcheese Roberts.

Wasn't that music the teams just walked out to the theme tune to Top of the Pops from the 1980's?

Graham Westley can't field a settled side.
My heart bleeds!

when i heard them say that i thought they were talking about GH ;D

Good spot, ALTY1981.
Yellow Pearl by Phil Lynott?
Let's rock....!

Thought we'd scored then.
The commentator isn't too bad. The analyst is unspeakably crap, apart from anything else he keeps distracting the main bloke.
-
Hi folks, according to BBC website they've not started yet.

Robbie Williams with a header from a free kick.

A goal from a set piece!

YES!!
Did we actually score from a set piece!?
Great stuff, Robbie should be getting the odd goal, good to see he's contributing.

aye from a set piece,good job SW is not on,he would tell me to keep eating my sandwiches rofl

See commentary posts!

Wooooooooooooooooo! Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
-
I cant get the commentary to work :-\ :'(
-
Luton not finding things going their way 2-0 down at Cambridge.
-
PHEW sounds like a let off
-
Play seems quite one sided and we already have 2 yellows.
-
Sounds like Densmore was a naughty boy there. If it was a dive, then I'm glad he got booked. He needs to cut that nonsense out.
I wouldn't mind the half-time whistle shortly. We appear to be under a bit of pressure.
-
Alty are being accused of having a "cynical side to their play" by these Stevenage commentators.
Pot and kettle incident, anyone?
-
Apparently it was Denham
-
Dunno if Ryan Shotton is playing for Barnsley today, but they are 3-0 down already - he must be sub!
-
Sounds like quite a few Alty fans there
-
Afternoon all.
Spent all day so far clearing up and dealing with flooded washing machine :( >:(
Turned Ceefax on as we scored. Even a point here would be fantastic!
-

He is playing and has been booked.

Hope he gets to mark Rooney in Carling Cup
-
Brilliant!:
45 mins: 3 added minjutes; referre very much a homer
-
how come our defense looks good when we are missing at least 2 of the starters?
-
H-T 1-0 up.
Commentators admit that "the better side is in the lead."
-
Shotton may be cup tied if he has appeared for Stoke in League cup - or if they have an agreement on his loan to not play in cups to not get cup-tied

Shotton did play in the Carling Cup for Stoke.

With Jennifers Mum at Jennifers Grans and being half time I can watch the "Rosie Webster" clip from last night a few times!
That should perk me up for the 2nd half!

:DGreat idea

When I was a debt collector I did have to deal with someone called James Herriot - it was very difficult not to go into t'Yorkshire accent and ask him to have a look at me 'osses

HSmith1, take a bow you sandwich guzzling fiend!

GH, please leave it alone and calm down! You're doing a good job, don't let yourself down by being petulant.

Then there's all those Vietnam vets. How many sick animals were there out there?
-
Come on Yellows lets get going ASAP
-
Stuart is God so healing a few animals is probably nothing to him.
I'm having chicken stuffing and red obnion sandwich with cheese and onion crisps while waiting for next flight which conveniently lands at 16.55.
c'mon alty and stop being petulant 'cote!

Aaaargh! Stop saying that! Say things like "we'll never hang on", "this is going to be a long quarter of an hour" etc.

Well not really, the commentators are saying it's end to end.

Yes, it's defined as those extra minutes added on at the referee's discretion for any stoppages/substitutions during the 90 minutes of play.
Hope that helps, Jezza.

FFS

our office is in the old ferranti base at the heald green lights

Oh bugger.
Still I'd have taken a point at 3 o'colck, frankly I'd have taken a point at half time.
Come on lads hold on!
-
As long as we hold on I think we'd all be happy with the point
-
BOLLOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Still a good result if we can hold out.
-
now i am getting worried
-
1-1
Commemorated by some abysmal 'goal celebration' music, too.
Pitiful.

I loathe and detest that piece of music!

damm. gong to be a horrible couple minutes...
scored from a free-kick with 10 stantage players in the area.
ref giving a couple dodgy free kicks now.......
-
this will be robbery
-
embarassing for them
1) to have to play the music
2) they are celebrating a stuffy last minute equaliser
-
I'll take that - well done lads!
-
the plane has just flown over on approach...cheers ref.
-
ft good result,but 2 pts lost i think
-
Bollocks! Got to hang on for a point after getting so close to 3....
-
The circumstances of their equaliser make it seem a lot worse a result than it actually is.
-
Still a good result. 1-1.
well played alty. so near set now far.
-
At least it wasn't Roberts.
Bit gutted now but a great point.
-
So, so unlucky. But still a good point, considering all the injuries. :) :) :)
-
Shame, but still a fantastic result. Well done lads.
-
I think we have to look at this as one of those games where we would be happy with the draw before the game and would usually expect to be beaten on previous seasons
-
1-1.
Disappointing, purely in terms of the fact that they equalised so late in the game, but a result that I'm sure we would all have taken had it been offered to us at 2.59pm today and in light of our injury problems.
-
Ah, so close to all 3, but we'd all have grabbed the offer of a point before the kickoff so I'd still say it is a point gained, bit of a sickener though eh?!
-
Great effort boys, amazing that I'm gutted at just a point, maybe a sign that we're moving up in many ways :)
-
at least wigan are beating chelsea
-
Let's beat Gateshead and we're sitting pretty!!
-
at least wigan are beating chelsea
and Chezk Check Czeck their goalie out for a game or 2
-
at least wigan are beating chelsea
...and United won ;)
-
Could have been worse for us, according to the Sky reporter Southampton equalised in the 95th minute of injury time. Only 4 were signalled!
-
Apparently a lack of effort by Heffernan has cost us all three points. People who were there are saying he should never play for us again!
-
Pretty good result... we are now a tough team to beat.. a great platform to build on as the injured players slowly come back.
-
move onto 18 points from 13 matches...21 from 14 would be really good.
I personally dont like late subs to close the game out so heff had only just come on and prob wasn't up to speed of the game?
-
Apparently a lack of effort by Heffernan has cost us all three points. People who were there are saying he should never play for us again!
I have heard this also!

What is is that he has supposed to have done....or not done, as the case may be?
-
The daft thing about bringing on a sub late to use time is, as mark Hughes will tell you, the lost time is added back on any way. As has been pointed out said sub is not up to the pace of the game.
Its ok having an impact sub, but even the best tend to need to get up to speed.
-
We're consistent - we remain in 13th

I have been told that he gave away the ball and then made no effort to run back and defend. There may have been other things but I don't know.
-
I'll be back online for next Saturday's match. If all goes to plan I'll be at ML on Tuesday - maybe to late in the day for Jennifer to join me, however.
-
I'm getting a bit bored of these jumped up kids not taking a great chance that is playing for Altrincham.
Like Lee Hendley if Heffernan doesn't get his finger out he will disappear down the ladder and not be heard of again.

Why would you put in all the hard graft at NW Counties level and then just toss it off when your chance comes? It defies sense!
Very disappointing indeed.
-
If his offence was as bad as it sounds (dare I say Christiano Ronaldo like) he will know by now you do not play for Alty if you don't put in 100%. Methinks GH may have had a quiet word via a hairdryer

Very disappointing indeed.
Perhaps that self-promotion web page, on which Heffernan was virtually begging for a chance to move to Australia, produced an offer that he found irresistible and he'll shortly be emigrating to take up a new role as an extra in Home & Away...?
-
I held that view of Heffernan when I saw him come on and stroll around against Wrexham in the Setanta Shield.
Playing devil's advocate I suppose I ought to say he does seem to have a very laid back, languid sort of style even when he is playing ok so I'm hoping it's more a case of that than anything.
Other than that I'm absoluelty in full agreement with Ecky, I don't know where the f**k some of these kids think they're going to play when they are at Alty, there is generally a reason why they aren't at league clubs like.
I too am wondering where Thaker has gone as people at Cambridge said he looked lively at least.
A shame that we've been dashed at the last as it feels like a defeat, but as ALty1981 said the other day every point is well gained at this time. On the plus side we are unbeaten in 5 and this point at Stevenage puts us in a good position fot eh Gateshead game on Tuesday. If we win that, and I have a sneaky feeling that Gateshead have been a little unlucky this season with a lot of narrow defeats, then 4 points from the Stevenage/Heed/R&D games is a good haul, again anything that could be gained at Nene Park next week would be a bonus.
Again, without feeling too sorry for ourselves we are missing Michael Welch (ish), Greg Young, Robbie Lawton (capt), Colin Little and Dale Johnson - 5 massive players for us.
-
I wasn't at the game, but I saw Heffernan against AFC Wimbledon when he came on. He needs the ball to feet to succeed, as he more of a Berbatov figure than a Crouchinho. Perhaps start him against Gateshead and get him to drop deep and thread through balls to Denham with the outside of his right foot?
-
When I suggested a player worth having a look at from Nantwich, my suggestion was dismissed as the gulf between BSP and Unibond was too great. Having said that, the difference between BSP and NW Counties is even greater and yet that is the step up that Heff has made! For the record, Matt Rhead (the player I made comment about) bagged a couple for Nantwich today away at Kings Lynn. It is all too easy to have the view that players can't make the move but there are still some good players who often miss out on achieving their true potential.
It's perhaps better to capture raw talent on the way up than rely on names who have a list of umpteen clubs on their CV on the way down...

He'll be on more money at Nantwich.
And I would not say that Heffernan has made the step up anywhere other than in his head.
-
If we look back 12 months virtually to the week and the fans feelings and reaction at Stevenage, there is time for some contemplation. Everyone on here would have taken a draw today in advance, but I agree its always galling to concede late.
I disagree with the late substitution, I saw no real reason for it. As someone said the time, well 30 secs, is added back anyway.
For general info, Thaker was on Grays Station last Saturday at 6pm getting a train into London, I understand to see some old Uni friends, although that may not mean much as I think he featured on Tuesday IIRC?
-
Thakers grandma had died on Thursday,so did not travel.
I agree with the general concenus about Heff, but you can't just blame him for only getting 1 point.At the end of the day we conceded a free kick in the 91st minute,and we didn't defend it. There could be numerous reasons why Denham was taken off......could had been close to being sent off,has been playing with a groin injury.
Quite happy with a point, and another positive defensive performance without Young. Good to see Welch back,but needs a couple more weeks before can be back in the full reckoning. Hopefully a fully fit Lawton back on Tuesday, and with Kearney back in natural position, we should be looking to win the midfield battle and 3 points.
-

Yep. The head says 'good result' the heart says 'we were robbed'.
I disagree with the late substitution, I saw no real reason for it. As someone said the time, well 30 secs, is added back anyway.
I think managers also see it as a way to break up the game. It gives the team defending a lead, or trying to hold on to the draw, time to catch a breath, regoup and organise themselves.
I'm not saying I think this works but I think there's more to it than time wasting.
-
The odd thing about yesterday is that nobody seemed too upset about the late equaliser. Disappointed yes but not absolutely gutted as we might have been in previous seasons. Perhaps that's because the loss of two points would have felt more crucial in previous seasons?
A very good team performance (with the exception, I'm afraid, of Heffernan who looked like he was day-dreaming and really let the side down), from which I'd like to single out Sean Densmore. It's been said on here that Sean is not a full-back but yesterday, up against a very dangerous winger in Mitchell Cole, he looked a very fine full-back indeed.
-
Heffernan was an absolute joke yesterday, to be honest he infuriated me and pretty much everyone else.
He came on and basically looked like he didn't want to be on the pitch, he was practically walking around, showing no effort whatsoever! He gave the ball away stupendously easily in the corner which resulted in Stevenage gaining an attack, winning a free kick and then scoring! Someone behind me said it looked like he was doing us a favour by playing and that's exactly what it looked like.
It was interesting as I saw Densmore berating him after the game for his lack of effort, it shows that the players were annoyed at his attitude as well.
On the other hand a draw was a fair result as we were under the cosh for alot of the second half, we seemed tired and struggled to get hold of the ball, thought Kierney was our best player yesterday.
-
I wasn't at the game, so I can't comment on exactly what Heff did. However...
He has that kind of languid style that certain other players also display. That isn't my cup of tea at the best of times, but certain players have enough talent for me to think, "well, he offers enough in terms of guile and skill for me to forgive him for that". However, Danyy Heffernan is not Dimitar Berbatov, he is Danny f**king Heffernan. I thought when he came on against Tamworth he did everything very slowly and lazily with very little effect.
I'll never jump on a player's back as long as he's giving his all. I never complained about Peyton, I could see Nicky Clee was trying hard when he wasn't playing well at the start of the season, Anthony Danylyk is a limited player but always runs his bollocks off, but Heffernan's lack of cotribution just isn't good enough in my opinion. Supposedly he looked decent in pre-season? It seems that one long range goal was enough to convince people he might be decent. Personally I have genuine doubts about his ability and work ethic, and he needs to really put in good shifts in his next few run-outs in order to change my mind.
By the way, another great effort by the lads to keep the board ticking with an unexpected point. A shame it couldn't be three, but they're doing enough to make us all proud of them this season, long may it continue.
-
If he's trying to book his flight on Qantas, he's going a damn funny way about it !
-
He gave the ball away stupendously easily in the corner which resulted in Stevenage gaining an attack, winning a free kick and then scoring!
He was tackled by two Stevenage players, that's not really "stupendously easily".
Playing devil's advocate I suppose I ought to say he does seem to have a very laid back, languid sort of style even when he is playing ok so I'm hoping it's more a case of that than anything.
I think this is true.
I'm getting a bit bored of these jumped up kids not taking a great chance that is playing for Altrincham.
Like Lee Hendley if Heffernan doesn't get his finger out he will disappear down the ladder and not be heard of again.
Why would you put in all the hard graft at NW Counties level and then just toss it off when your chance comes? It defies sense!
It does defy sense, you're right.
I know we can claim all sorts about footballers, but we should probably consider them to be rational beings. With this in mind I think the best explanation is that Heffernan was just a bit rubbish on Saturday and not deliberately not trying.

He made what can only be described as a "measly" effort to keep hold of the ball.
