I went to check out AFC Telford Utd against Gloucester City yesterday. Could their style of play be as bad on the eye as it seemed to be against Alty? Answer is yes. If you want to see the ball in the air for 70% of the time and only one skillful player in the team then Telford it is. Their is a lot of crticism of Alty's play on the forum but at least you get to see a team trying to play on the ground for much of the time with a genuine desire to show some good, skillful stuff. I'd love to see Alty play them again in the next couple of weeks and give them a lesson in how to entertain. Unfortunately Telford's approach does win games but talking to their fans you can sense that it leaves them deeply frustrated. I think it is worth giving Alty a bit more praise for what they are trying to do.
