Wonder what odds you would get for Stockport and Macc to be relegated. If they did you could imagine we would go down as well and miss it.

Sounded like we gave it a real good go and can take some credit from that.  
Wrexham have been on an absolute flier and it sounded like we had them worried at the end.
If we can take that kind of effort into the next games we should get something and move up.

I notice Histon followed our lead and beat Fleetwood. Are the "Cod Army" in a false position I wonder ?

Just back, very good effort all round, defended really well until just before HT when they had a bit of luck from a ball into the box fom LW that just missed everyone and crept in at the back post. We were more of a threat second half when Twiss came on, their second goal was very fortunate too, mish*t shot going miles wide diverted in just when we looked like equalising and then we had them very much on the back foot the last 10mins. Negatives were we gave the ball away all night, we got nothing again from the ref who let a number of clear fouls go unpunished yet booked smithy when their guy blatantly dived. Positives, great team spirit, and SPT only drew and Whalley got sent off so he will miss saturday for them and we get Joseph and Baynes back.

Saturday is massive match now.

A good performance by Alty. Maybe we could have nicked a point. Wrexham showed a bit more heart than they usually do. A bizarre incident nearly cost Wrexham 3 points when someone from the Wrexham end blew a whistle and the players shopped. A wrexham player caught the ball. The ref awarded a free-kick when he should have awarded a drop ball. That incident seemed to stop Wrexham's momentum as they were getting on top in the first 25 minutes of the second half.
On tonight's performance we will stay up. Wrexham's performance needs to improve if they are going to get promoted. If you have to time waste against a part-time team then you are not good enough to get promoted.

Alty made a good fist of it tonight against a Wrexham side who had won 5 on the bounce prior to tonights game.

First time I have been to Wrexham for about 40 odd years ::)

James Smith did his best to get himself sent off in the first half and whilst walking off at HT.  James just learn to walk away lad and keep your gob shut.

I notice that the BBC said Wrexham won  comfortably.. I didnt see it like that.. Maybe they use Saunders as there match reporter.

Good effort lads play like that against Southport on Saturday and the 3 pts are ours. (Whalley got sent off for Southport tonight).

I thought 17 quid to get in was steep for this league  and the hotdogs were sh*t.........

Decent turnout by the Alty Choristers......

Onwards and Upwards

Cmon Alty

I've no doubt Wrexham will say we were the worst team ever ever ever to play there.

The truth is that when your team virtually picks itself your options are limited.

Every player gave 110% tonight and battled so hard.  We didn't create much but then Wrexham hardly had 20 chances either.

They used the wide pitch very well and the better team definitely won.

However I was pleased coming out of the ground that we hadn't been disgraced by the form side and they were hanging on at the end.

Onwards to Saturday..decent support tonight.  I'd say about 130 Alty there but we had a good sing which was applauded by some of the Wrexhamd fans next to us at the end.

Thought we we were poor and you frustrated us with some good pressure/build up play and probably could have nicked a point with the possesion you had in the last ten minutes. It looked like you came for the point but once you went behind you played some really good stuff and defended excellantly throghout.

Overall I'm happy with the three points and onwards and upwards. You won't go down if you perform like that every game.

Although you're two goals were lucky - you could see one coming

The handball incident was unusual not to resort in a card - along with a few unpunished challanges

Beaten by the better team

nice to go to a ground and hear some good singing after tamworths poor attempts

Only major complaint was the ridiculous pillar and camera blocking our view

Agree with previous post about time waisting

I actually feel slightly cheated this morning.
I know our team picked itself etc, but they weren't that much better than us. In the second half when we finally tried to win the game, we had chances and had them backpedalling regularly. Had we done this from the start I feel we would have been good enough to beat them.
Very disappointed today.
(At least we had Pogba to cheer us up!!)

That's how I saw the game.
You can't deny you were hanging on at the end, plus your second goal was a total fluke against the run of play.

First loss that I've not been that annoyed about it

However I know How Chester alty feels, very flukey 2nd goal - I thought it was offside at first

Gives me big hope for Saturday

My main gripe is that we just didn't do ourselves justice. We are better than that.

Frustrating knowing we lost at histon when we play like we do Now

Most notable thing for me was how much the game changed when Twiss came on, definitely gave us something more upfront and was a handful for their defence in the last fifteen minutes. It was great to see us going for it and making them work right until the last second, it was definitely no walkover for Wrexham. If we were a little less sloppy with defending their first then maybe we would have left with a point...

Fair summary and you're spot on about Twiss.

I'm not his greatest fan but you could see last night that he knows how to play the game. He laid off some lovely balls and the 'one two' which ended with the keeper making a good block was one of the moves of the game - simple but not something we're used to seeing.

If he continues to loses weight and gets fit then maybe, just maybe he'll come good because he's definitely still got it.
