May struggle in midfield today if Isaac is suspended as reported.

A difficult task without him today

A draw will be a good result

Just a thought,should not have let Hulme go

I think Jordan wanted to go, and I think we all need to move on - he finished last season strongly but he wasn't the answer going forward.

Perhaps an argument to move back to the Gateshead system at the weekend, play Newby and Amaluzor 'up front' with CCC behind, bring James Jones back in for some minutes and possibly Justin Donawa from the start too?

Could even start with the two Justins up front and drop someone like Newby to the bench as we probably just need to freshen things up a bit?


Who would you drop to fit in James Jones.. Cooper and Baines are doing a good Job?

Definite 2 pts dropped rather than 1 won.

Kiddy were poor, we should have beat them.

Eddie Jones is so frustrating, he always wants to pass back when he has better options to get the ball forward quicker. We are very very good when we attack at pace but for some reason we just pass the ball along the back line Yes there are times when that is all well and good but for Gods sake it’s becoming the Norm which doesn’t do us any good at all,  Kiddy we’re there for the taking tonight but we failed to execute the task.

One good thing about tonight was that Hogan (a very good defender), got himself sent off tonight playing for Oldham, so he will be missing on Saturday. We will need to be sharper when we go to Boundary park ….

One of the problems with our pitch that the ground staff have to consider is that the pitch is being used far too often due to the agreement with MUFC ladies and other users.

I’m sure if Alty had sole use of the pitch it would possibly be able to recover better.

Sensible decision PP..
with all the rain it’s the only outcome. No pitch can take that much rain.

I expect the club have good reasons not to want this fixture on 4th Nov

It's 54 miles from London, but only 48 miles from Coventry....

However, it’s only 24 hrs from Tulsa..

That's assuming you treat MK as being South. I usually think of it as just about being in the Midlands.

MK would definitely be though of as south. i went to work near oxford many years ago and they were appalled that i thought it was the midlands.

Probably down to a touch of geographical snobbery.

Same lineup for me, Sithole won’t be fit just yet, use him as a sub by all means.. the rest of the team I would leave well alone for now.

Alty 3 -1 Dorking.

He's by far and away the best manager in the league, and deserves his chance before absolutely anyone else who might currently manage in this league for sure.

Definitely the best. No doubt at all.

Haha there's no chance Parky's taking a job in the south

I'd actually assumed Williamson had been Newcastle born and bred, which is why I thought he'd go to a Yorkshire club if anything - but it seems he's been all over.

I bet he would go South if the right offer from a bigger club in a higher league  came a calling, who would blame him.

I was hoping we had seen the last of the over cautious passing back formula that was to the forefront last season but sadly it returned with a vengeance yesterday.. we are never as good when we take an age to get the ball forward. One day the penny will drop. We have played some cracking games this season  by not playing the way we did yesterday

Not that bothered about losing a cup match we are never going to win, romantic yes, but with our good start to the season I would rather get 3 points at Boundary Park in a fortnight and maybe a good run in the trophy.

Dorking up next followed by Kiddy  both winnable to keep us on track.


Not sure giving up half the ground to away fans is the way ahead to be frank. It’s not ALL about money folks.

The view from the pop side  for home fans wasn’t good unless you are 6’ 4”

The tannoy needs adjusting or the bloke who operates it does…

Marriott was MoM

Isaac Marriott was definitely MOM. I couldn't believe it when Amaluzor was announced - they must just let the nearest young kid to the microphone pluck a name out of thin air.

Their additional squad depth definitely helped - they cranked it up a gear when Reid came on, and the goal followed a sustained period of pressure from them - we had nothing to turn to ourselves.

Although - that said - not sure what Sithole's meant to do with 5 minutes plus stoppages.

I do fear that, when Chris Conn-Clarke doesn't show up, we don't show up - the lad can't have a worldy every week, and he obviously can't do it all on his own. I agree that Newby was the only one that looked sharp, and the other three forwards were well off it.

Probably a good reality check, and a reset going into two winnable home games.

I think the matchday sponsors choose the MoM.
