Altrincham FC First Team / Re: D&R Match Thread
« on: March 02, 2024, 05:01:51 PM »Anyone see how we escape this terrible run of results?It helps if you accept that Altrincham are not a play-off side suffering a blip but are in fact an average team who had a purple patch which launched us temporarily into the dizzy heights of fourth place.
The reason we are average is because we have not replaced decent players with better ones. The decent ones we lost include Colclough, Lundstram, Senior, Mullarkey and Mooney ( the player who returned is not as good as the one who went to Southend). IMHO none of those has been replaced by players who would launch and keep us permanently up the league.
However, Ethan Ross is a definite improvement over anyone since Stu, and his loss has been greatly felt over the last few weeks.
It also has to be asked what incentive the players have to get promotion and potentially put themselves out of work because very few, if any, are EFL standard.
