11 Peyton
09 Little

How they lining up? Looks like one too many defenders so 5 at the back or someone moved to midfield?
-
I would guess Toulson right midfield. He & Warren are excellent cover for the full backs who might overlap going forward.
Farsley losing
-
With King holding midfielder? Sounds good to me.
Let's hope it works!
-
According to Sporting Life, Alty have the edge with keyman Tom Cahill
-
Line up is what I expected our strongest line up to be on an earlier thread with Senior pushing Little and Cahill for the striker role.
Lets hope it works as well on the pitch as it sounds!
-
They've had 2 shots to our none though according to the bbc
-
May need a little bit of time, but the defense looks stronger & will sort itself out.
We've had 2 on target now!
I take it Munro is still injured?
-
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live_match/159349.html is the sporting life link. We are in control according to them.
-
Jennings looks like he can deliver a set piece.
Anyone else have a good feeling about today's match?

Just the usual bag of nerves and blind hope for me!

Droylesden 1 up at home to York. I would hope York continue their good away form today.
Halifax down to 10 men v Farsley

What the ????? I doubt it is quite that end to end - a save seems to result in a corner for your own team?
-
Me too Sleepy me too. It being all Alty but still 0-0 doesn't help either.
-
Seemed to be a very busy wee spell of football that
Shots on target
8 5
Shots off target
1 3 after just 25 mins. Must be good to watch (unless you are of a nervous disposition).
Rather more shots than Sporting Life suggests
-
Just had a text from someone at the game. We are playing really well and the new players look good
-
Stafford 1 down
-
Droyslden now 2 up. Stafford level
-
HALF TIME
BBC:
Shots on target
8 6
Shots off target
3 4
Sporting Life:
4 Shots On Target 4
3 Shots Off Target 3
BBC more excitable!!!!!!
-
At least it is hundred times better than Saturday!
Fingers crossed for second half - with the new loan signings fitness should be better too. Them losing Steele just before half time is a bonus.
-
I've heard the new players looked a bit tired at the end of the first half. They may be a bit short of match practice.
As you say it is much better than we've seen as late so fingers crossed!!
-

Silence the doubters - GH is the new Cruyff.
-
60 Altrincham are in control of the match. Key player: Colin Little

Vics have used all their subs. It would be a shame if there was an injury to one of their players!
BBC struggling to get the Vics goal right. Maybe it never happened!
Weymouth 2-0 down. They could get drawn into the relegation struggle.
-
i looked and thought vics had scored again

-
Come on lads, not a winner yet but we NEED this.....
-
I don't care what the rule is as long as win!
Keeping Joe fresh for the last few minutes at Vics is a master stroke - Joe's speciality, disappointing Vics fans :D
Droylsden winning as well so vital we hold on to this
-
Assist (header) by Ryan Shotton (Altrincham) from left side of penalty area.
On today's performance alone, the man should get the freedom on Altrincham.
-
droylesden winning again
-
Droylesden 3-3 (less arse) and Jennifer celebrates goal by sicking up her milk!

-
well done alty big win
-
we win
-
Dont the ref have to call it off if Vics get another one injured or sent off?Thank god its over,called both games correct sadly lol
-
What a massive massive win, well done to the players (Ryan S especially) and to GH for pulling this one off.
-
BBC says Robbie sub'd in last minute due to injury - hopefully just knackered from running rings round Vics :)
-
Well done lads
Droylsden, Stafford and Farsley all losing as well!!
Goodwins all round!!!
-
never Doubted GH,just the players needed a good kick up the backside,but praise is due So well done everyone
-
The perfect day. Huge congratulations to the players, to Graham and to the board for providing him with the funds to recruit all the new players who've clearly made a big difference today.
All the sendings off for the Vics will surely hamper them in the coming fixtures and Oxford had a man sent off too, so presumably he'll be banned for Saturday. Oxford away suddenly doesn't look quite so daunting.
What a brilliant start to 2008.
-
Just got out of my sick bed and this is the best tonic I could have wished for! Well done to GH and all the lads!
-
Massive day for us....winning and Droylesden conceding 3 in the last 3 mins!!!! Well done lads, fantastic! ;D
-
Brilliant result!
Back to work with a smile tomorrow.... ;D
-
Congrats to the lads & especially to GH. Character.
My beloved wonders if my tension on match day is picked up on by the baby?

JD, our baby is due in early March....imagine the tension for baby altyusa right at the vital time in the relegation battle!!!!!!
-
Well done all - hopefully this will bring the belief back to players, fans and the rest of the club.
-
It should also have given the four players new to Alty a real taste of what the club is all about. I can only imagine the scenes at the final whistle.

I wish you, Mrs AltyUSA and baby AltyUSA the best. Lets hope we are well clear of relegation at that point. Make sure BabyAltyUSA is not born on matchday!
A win for us will do wonders for our confidence, especially with the attempts on goal we had.
Vics will be gutted to lose that after their good run
Droylesden's confidence will be hit losing 3 goals in 3 mins.
Farsley confidence will be dented losing to 10 men
Stafford I doubt have much confidence anyway
-

Thanks a lot, not sure I have much control over the match day bit!
-
I'm dying to know from anyone that was there what the new lads were like.

I'm dying to know from anyone that was there what the new lads were like.
Me too.My guess is they were better than some of the ones they replaced
-
All the new lads were of a good standard with plenty of running and skill level
All players played with passion and determination.
-
supurb signings and they all look very mobile, good enough for this league certainly,
none of them played badly and they all eaned their shirt :)

Well done GH and well done to the board for backing him.
-
You saw the passion at the end as GH came over, that meant alot to him as he applauded the away supporters.
As did the whole squad including in particular Colin little, Robie, Scotty, Chris lane and Stu.
Well done lads
-
Well it certainly did look like northwich were going to survive with a formation of 4-4 for a while.....justice ;D
-
New lads were very decent ...
Cahill up front looks quality, caused them alot of trouble today
Northwich fans were awful as usual! oversung by the alty faithful! what a way to start 2008
-
UNDEFEATED THIS YEAR!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
There supporters are well pathetic, wonder if any will venture onto the forum and give credit where it is due?
It was kicking off at the end, anybody se what was going on?

Did we have more support than the home team
-
they just couldnt take it, i know we had one fan go on the pitch on boxing day but they brought on a bloody netball team!!! ;D
seriosly though i think theyve got some segregation issues
-
I guess they started to believe they were a legend in their own lunchtime!

Well done lads
very shakey against the eight men. far too much passing the ball about just in front of the penalty area. happy for the three points and the better players but when the two loanees went off we were back to hoofing it up to o'neill who was either offside or penalised for pushing. graham might have celebrated the win, but we are exactly where we were before the boxing day game, so bit early for cracking open the champagne.
-
For those of you that didn't go,
Cahill was class. Big, strong and skilful. Enough said.
Toulson was surprisingly effective as a right midfield/winger. Very good crosser.
King along with Robbie totally bossed the midfield. It's where we won the game I think. No Byrne starting for them was weird!
Jennings looked a bit shaky to begin with, but grew into the role as the game went on and actually looked like a left back!
Shotton - well, we know about him, won everything in the air and commanded the back, though he made one or two errors which nearly proved costly.
Robbie - ran his f****** socks off!
Laney - strong and assured and the partnership of him and Toulson on the right was a big factor in the win.
Peyton - worked hard as usual, but needs to spend more time on the ball - seemed to panic too easily
Little - couldn't believe his luck having someone like Cahill up front with him!
Tinson - my MOTM - a monster at the heart of defence, didn't put a foot wrong.
Hope this helps!
-
UC - I thought we looked tired against the 8 men, not shakey. I never thought Vics looked like scoring. I wonder if there are fitness issues.
-
coburn made two fingertip saves, one from shotton i think! their keeper played a blinder, specially in the first half hour when it like blitzkrieg alty. that has to be the most corners we had in a half all season. cahill very dangerous but i think colin little might be under pressure for his place when senior comes back. he let a golden opportunity slip when he chose to moan at the ref, rather than go with the ball. and for those getting too excited, we don't have all these guys til the end of the season.
-
Did Stu have a good game then?
-
UC - I thought we looked tired against the 8 men, not shakey. I never thought Vics looked like scoring. I wonder if there are fitness issues.
i was very nervous when they had the ball in our box with all their guys forward at the end. i was just waiting for someone to go down under a challenge and get a penalty.
-
i thought coburn was fabulous. he looked better because the defence allowed him to be, as in turn they looked better because we had a midfield, and because we had a midfield the forwards had more of the ball. if we can play at oxford the way we played today we might get something. and if we'd had carlos logan on for the last fifteen minutes today he might have had a hatfull. that game was screaming for someone to run at the defence.
-
Agree that we needed Carlos to run at their defence in the closing stages - what hapened to him today? Have to say that Stuart hardly had anything to do, but does have a worrying tendency to remain rooted to his line when the ball comes over (see both the Vics goal and some earlier incidents). I thought that Scott Tynan at the other end commanded his box excellently and is far too good for this level.
-
I never stated we should crack open the champagne, I was merely congratlating a win, that is rare this season.
When they were down to 9/8 we had too much space and time, I do not think we were overly tired. We then panicked and hoofed it forwards.
Perhaps the loanees are not match fit ? Hence GH made changes, to save them for Satdee?
I thought Colin was good today and played some super football, he was unlucky with that super save at the end.
There goalie was class today. Stu still not 100% although he did a couple of good saves.
-
I understood the five (four really) were full-time players hence no need to worry about match fitness. GH was right to change players near the end to exploit a very tired and depleted Northwich side.
What was worrying was that you should (although sometimes difficult) beat ten men, hammer nine men and get a nice goal difference against eight men. Tactically shouldn't we have put more "up front" to get more goals, I thought it was not very adventurous playing the ball around the back-four at two-one, who knows what could have happened?
All-in-all and given the circumstances the new boys fitted in excellently and we looked capable of scoring more, perhaps (if it ever happens again this season) we should work out the tactics to batter eight or nine men!
Come on you Alty!
-
DT, my Junior team played Man City the other week with 2 players short all game, and it threw them tactically and we only lost by the odd goal, when we expected a heavy defeat.
I agree we tried to pass it around the back to much, but we got away with it.
-
Dave,
I understand but the boot was on the other foot this time! I am sure when you coach your team you press the importance of the "spare man", when you have three spare you should really be enjoying it! Northwich did work hard but even so pushing up should surely have reaped an even greater reward (Only in goal terms not points).
But three points all the same irrespective of the margin I suppose. ;D
-
Weren't we down to 10 men against Droylsden and with Sedgemore in goal? I think that was similar in that it threw their game plan - they decided to chuck on loads of strikers but didn't really know how to feed them the bal and so were totally ineffectivel :)
-
Well to be honest i thought we were "really enjoying it" after the second goal, i mean if there was stats if possesion in the last 5-10 minutes i reckon it would be 70-75% to us, ok we didnt score or put the game right out of reach which maybe we should have a done and a more synical team maybe would have done but overall we worked our socks of to get that second goal and when we got it we were cruising i thought.
Well Done Alty!
Lets have a good 08'!
-
Was I at a different game or did we threw Ryan Shotton up front towards the end, going 3 at the back, which lead to Joe O'Neills goal?
8)
-
Ballers, you must have been at a different game or dozed off for 15 minutes! It was hardly "Blitzkreig" on the Northwich defence although you were correct Shotton did move up (as one of our two/three spare men) to give the "assist" for Joe's goal! :D

It was a brilliant save by Tynan to deny Little near the end.

I disagree, it was like a night raid. we just couldn't hit the right target. To be honest if we could have replaced Peyton with logan we could have bagged a few. For a team with 5 new players and several others playing their 3rd match in a week its probably better to think about the 1st half than the 2nd. we looked good and fought hard and clean. I was most impressed by how much we managed to keep the ball on the ground effectively.
-
Narcisous, there was no guarantee that logan would have bagged any goals, that is rediculous.

Logan does not appear to be a goal scorer, but I think Narcissist suggests that he is a goal maker.
From what I gather he will need to improve his crossing first, but he does seem to get us a few free kicks by going at defenders

This sentence was ridiculous
-
I would love logan to become a showler.
Will it happen?
Pat should have come on yesterday!
-
Agree with both of those.

Carlos Logan may become a very good player (altho possibly not for us) but he will not, simply, become another Paul Showler.
Sorry.

or a micky hayde ;D
