It's a horrible situation this. Ollie's dad has got a point and he has made me feel differently about fans condemning a young kid obviously doing his best.

Unfortunately, it's not working for either Alty or Ollie. For him to be taken out of the limelight and get a loan move to Conference North/NPL would massively benefit both parties, particularly Ollie

Yes he does have a point but should realise it’s nothing personal but it is professional football, a harsh world.

However, does he necessarily need a loan somewhere? I think he suffers a bit from being the only viable option in goals. It means no matter what form he’s in he’s in the firing line, that can’t be good? I think he’d benefit from competition and a little less pressure in some ways.

I think it would also stop people getting on his back so much. People are a bit jumpy because there’s no obvious alternative.

I would say I think there’s a keeper in there though, certainly more there was than with Andrew Dawber who we mentioned on another thread.

Agree with this. We need to sign a number 1.
1) For Ollie to learn from
2) Give Ollie the fire in his belly to get the shirt back.
It's the way we should go.
Should never have kept Gould on.

I was quite pleased with what I saw in the first half and thought we deserved our half time lead.
Obviously with all the changes at half time I wasn’t too worried or surprised that Stockport went on to win.

CCC Kossy and Linney were good and the central defenders looked good.

What did, and has been worrying me is that the lad Byrne is blatantly not good enough, and neither is Gould.

On my way out after the final whistle I did speak to our Joint Chairman and said to him, if we don’t invest in another goalkeeper then we will struggle this coming season.

I think that I am in the majority of Alty fans who think this.
I have no Gripe with Ollie or his family, I just think that if this club is really serious about an upward progression then funds must be made available before we meet Dagenham & Redbridge on the 5th August.

Correct. It is nothing personal.
This season could fizzle out before it starts, unless we solve the matter.
This includes CM aswell, unless we can have Maxi on loan.
Two of the most important positions are currently weak.

I think you will find that we cannot use any MUFC players for loan purposes until the New Year

Thank you.

Never knew that. Then we need to sign another CM.

This is the weakness of Parky, he is stubborn at times, but it is now cruel on the lad.
We need a capable no.1 for him to learn from.
The reserve keeper should not be coaching the 1st choice keeper. Doesn't make sense.
A keeper can either win, or lose you many points over the season. Need to act now, before we kick the season off. It will only get harder for him.

We still have time.
A quality CM is needed. Joey Jones and Marriott isn't enough.
RB is concern.
We must act on signing a keeper before the season starts. It is now becoming cruel on the lad. For his own mental health he needs to learn from a capable number 1.
GK's can win, or lose you a load of points over the season.

Just amazes me that Parky is allowing the keeper position to be a shambles.
Can't be pissing around with two bang average keepers in the National League. It will lose us so many points, as it did last season.
The defence have no confidence in him.
Also, we are a CM and winger short. In patches I really liked Swales , second half he disappeared.

That was really really poor. Terrible performance.

A keeper is needed. Bynre on all the goals was awful.

Still remain concerned that we only have Joey Jones and Marriott for CM.

Vital position and we have no quality in reserve. If Jones doesn't perform we will be in trouble in that area.

I am hoping he goes out and smashes his loan, because I feel our CM depth is non-existent at the moment.
Unless we get someone like Maxi on half/full season loan.

Sorry... but am I missing something on Joey Jones?

Deeply unpopular with Dagenham fans, Grimsby thought he was rubbish... I get that we'll offer him the right environment but it's not exactly an absolutely guaranteed slam dunk is it?

Barely made a ripple when quietly released from an uninspiring Solihull team last season.

I obviously hope I'm being too sceptical, but I'm not sure I'd want to give the armband to anyone other than Isaac Marriott right now - the lad has earned it.

Just a gut feeling but I feel a bit nervous about Joey Jones.

Has to work, because Osborne is our back up and CM is often where games are won and lost.

Hopefully, he will prove our doubts wrong.

The team looks good to me.

With CCC signed and far more instrumental as no.10, I wonder if PP is thinking Kossy as a winger...

Will be difficult for him to get to the levels he was producing. Keep him fit, then he will be like a new signing.

I like the look of this signing.

Pace, which we badly need to stretch teams. Back end of last season teams had us on the back foot as we had no-one who could drag us out.

He seems direct and likes to score. All very positive.

Still need another out and out winger on the books.
