Altrincham FC First Team / Next two home games.
« on: December 02, 2020, 05:58:54 PM »
With the weather forecast being pretty abysmal up to Saturday with a mix of rain and sleet we’ve got to question the wisdom of playing Kings Lynn Town on Saturday. We can’t call the game off just because conditions don’t suit us, but conversely we shouldn’t be breaking our necks to ensure it goes ahead a la Weymouth. The local football pitches in Timperley are groaning under the amount of rain they’ve taken. Bearing in mind we’ve played more games than anyone else, have a long injury list and find ourselves in tier 3 no crowds, postponing the next two games wouldn’t be a hardship for us. I know the observations of the preceding sentence aren’t grounds for postponement just the silver lining for us. We need to be be onto Anthony Taylor to do a pitch inspection before KLT and Bromley travel. If the games are called off we’ll have the added bonus of fans attending should we ever be in tier 2.

I would rather we refrained from making suggestions like this, someone may take us up on the idea. We should do all we can to keep Phil and Neil, best management team we have had for ages now. If anything, extend their contracts further.
Absolutely agree. If PP, NS and all the backroom staff were to leave we’d be screwed. We’ve an excellent board with expertise above and beyond what we’ve ever had before. They’re progressive and talented people, but to replace all PP’s entourage with like for like would be a monumental, if not impossible, task. If anyone asks, they’re all pants.

Rob E's first-ever presentation said we had a plan should PP/NS be poached away, to stick to the style of football.
Sticking to the style of football is six words. Finding the people of suitable calibre in each and every post is the monumental task we’d face, with no guarantee of being able to either find or afford such comparable talent. We struck gold with the present incumbents. They don’t come along on a regular basis.

After a run of unsatisfactory results, the red and whites, who have had great players such as Duncan Watmore, have parted ways with manager Phil Parkinson...






...the former Sunderland boss
Hard luck Andy. I think we can take it there were no bites.😱

If anyone is wondering what happens if you go on a winning run and then narrowly lose to alty at home then these 11 pages are worth a read:-

Makes our gentlemanly discussions seem tame
Wow. I can't recall our forum being that toxic even when Young Harvey and Doherty were spinning their web of magic. Maybe I've just moved on and erased it from memory.

Wow, that was like watching from the third tier at OT. Coverage ok, bit blurry in parts and no replays. Commentary ok, but as you would expect seen through rose tinted glasses. But with the result worth £10
I quite enjoyed listening to the big time Charlie's squirming at being outplayed and out though by some part time upstart country bumpkins. How very dare they?

I’ve got to admit I was a tad anxious about this game. My fears were largely unfounded. There was only one team out there who were desperate and they were in red. We dealt reasonably well with all they had to offer and gave them some headaches in return. I think it gradually dawned on them that this wasn’t the sort of game they should be winning against some part time numpties. Whilst we’ve played more games than everyone, the teams playing catch up will involve matches against each other. I’m convinced we will fare better than I first envisaged, especially when we are nearer to injury free. COYR.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: 5 subs
« on: December 01, 2020, 10:23:46 PM »
Multiple substitutions are just another way for the wealthier clubs to gain an advantage, whether in the Premier or National

Yup.

Why stop at five? How about eight? Eleven?

Two is enough, plus a concussion swap.

cos most leagues in Europe have 5!

Sounds like an opportunity to be the first in Europe to have nine subs!
How many do the Royal Navy have?

We weren't in a relegation fight that relegation season from the conference north. We succumbed from first kick to last.

He never replied to an email I sent to him last year.
He doesn’t care,  he knows he will get voted in every year.
His job must be the easiest in the country. He Knows he will never get voted out.

I had high hopes of Labour swing in 2024; until this abstaining votes this morning on tier system by Labour.
When a good number of Tory MPs are to the left of a similar number of Labour MPs we are goosed, Difficult to know where to go politically now other than the wilderness. The two party system is deceased. Still, good news about the chocolate oranges.

What a shame they won't be able to have a capacity crowd. When will they ever be able to see the likes again
Their capacity is 3185 apparently. If they're in tier 2 they can have half that. It'll be interesting who can get their hands on a ticket.

I reckon it’s a tenner to stand in outside no cover.

Gut feel is a score draw, one all.
Bite their hand off whoever offered us that. Two “home” games to follow.

This is going well...

“We look so disjointed, but things like Johnston wasting the ball when we’re on the break doesn’t help”

“That's one of the worst halves of football I've seen from a Chester team for a long while. Doesn't help playing with 8 men
Johnson Dudley, Morgan are shocking. “


I really don't like to be critical of individual players, but Johnston looks like one of the poorest players ever to wear the shirt. I've never seen him have a good game for us, and he's been terrible again so far - can't beat a man, can't cross, and can't even find a teammate with a simple pass. If it was a one-off I'd have more patience, but he seems to play like this every game for me.”


I forgot Johnston was playing until he started giving it away. “



Considering he cost us cash and a better player, it’s bitterly disappointing.”


Goodwin did more in 20 minutes than Johnston has done since he signed - bench him for goodness sake.


“Does this team even know what a clean sheet is???
Very poor yet again!! Certainly not good enough for a play off spot & don't even get me started on the lad Johnston good lord he is abysmal he truly is!!”

It's clearly not working out for him here, I think the money surrounding the transfer, leaving Alty. The backlash from it all and the pressure of living up to expectations has effected his performances on the pitch. I don't doubt for one second where ever his next Club will be he will turn into Messi and the player that Altrincham said he was. “

“Need to ship out Johnson for his own sake”

You may well be right my friend but you would have thought by now he would have come good. I mean there are slow burners & then there is JJ.”
Has anyone thought to send our condolences?
