. We carnt defend. Instead, other than bringing in Scott, all other signings have been either midfield (bushell, bowler) or strikers (Thompson, O'Neill, Senior). The defence hasnt really changed over the last few seasons, despite everyone knowing that it is the one area that needs improving.

As for today, i was one (of the few) who stayed right till the end, the performance wasnt great, at not many positives came from the game. Another point, when playing thornley on the wing, why carnt he and senior keep swapping positions and try cause some problems for the opposition defence??

We know this team can play better, it is about time the lads showed the fans just how good they are.

GH has been trying to get a couple of signings in, he knows where we need players, but with our limited finances it is not so easy to get the players we need.
You make a good point about Rod and Senior swapping positions - defenses do not like to much movement by the opposition.

The team can play better and, I believe, will. A couple of decent results and belief will return.

Glad its not just me that isn't baffled as to why two strikers were taken off to bring two others on, and a tiring midfielder just coming back from injury was replaced with a different one.  Hardly rocket science.

I think it was done too late, but thats just my opinion.

Does GH know where we need players? GH has brought in a left back that at the moment doesnt seem any better than what we had (Peyton, C. Adams). I wouldnt be arsed if it was something new BUT the defence situation has been around for years, GH has known we needed better defence, but still hasnt really made many attempts to bring in the sort of defenders we need. The usual excuses of finance come up, but we are a part-time team, surely there ARE players out there who would want to play for us? Maybe its the case of GH becoming too loyal to certain players?

sorry but thats just a laughable comment and one that you really can't believe in ?.
He's tried but usually players would prefer to go to a lower club for more money. Sorry but money drives football players.

Gaz, you are correct money drives footballers.

There are not enough that want to play for Alty for little or no money!
So when the debts are gone will there  be ay more cash to pay some new mercaneries?

Do you really want a team of mercaneries? I'd rather have a team that wants to play for the shirt than the pay cheque.

I think the players we have at the moment are the best we can get on the money available. No point in bringing in players who are not up to he standard just to bring new blood in.

That, and if the worst was to happen and we went down, the majority of the squad would stay, or at least the ones the club wants to stay would.
