Hopefully its on. Assuming no Colclough or Moult still.
Same starting 11 for me.
Alty 3-0 Wealdstone (Harrison x2, Kosylo)
-
Wealdstone are decent. 1 1 for me, but hoping for a sneaky 2 1 win.

Decent ? They've only won one of their last nine league games, and that was against struggling Weymouth. They've lost three in a row, and shipped 10 goals in the process. We should be beating teams like this.....
-
If they are decent we are decenter.

If they are decent we are decenter.
Bigly decenter?
-
It won't happen. The forecast looks dreadful.
-
Expected to freeze overnight Monday, rain to start 1000 Tuesday, becoming heavy between 1200-1600, and not stopping until just before kickoff. Not at all promising.
-
P-P draw, which is a shame because it looks like a good time to play them.
That said, after the 0-1 reverse at their place I did think they were in a massively false position, we should be confident whenever we end up playing them.

I think it’s decenterer.

Be lovely just to get a glimpse of the stadium inside again. Does anyone know if it’s still there?
-

Can we incorporate a closing roof in the new stadium plans? Would it cost too much?
-
It would be cheaper to incorporate a slope down to the stream
-
Is there a pitch inspection scheduled for today?

Does this mean we're pressing ahead and playing tonight with no sign of a pitch inspection? Wealdstone would have given us a cut off time presumably to prevent unnecessary travel.

Looks like it, I'm near the ground and its light rain at present, just started in last 15 minutes or so. Maybe game has a chance, looks like were trying to get it played. Wonder if covers are on some of the pitch?
-
Providing the bad weather holds off and there is just light rain, I don't see it being a problem, some covers in the bad corner may help a little.
-
Forecast rain has started on time, and is a light drizzle at the moment.
-
Suppose there comes a time when we've got to have a go at staging a home game. Just hope it doesn't turn out to be a mud bath leveller.
-
It's not pouring down and we haven't played on the pitch since Boxing Day. I didn't think it would go ahead but I'm looking forward to it now.
-
Rain is appreciably heavier at moment by ground, hopefully it will pass soon. More than a shower...
-
Could history repeat itself tonight ?
I seem to remember from about 1979 a night match being called off at 7.00pm after a monsoon hit Altrincham about 6.00pm.
The opposition....Wealdstone.
Good night in the Moss followed as members of the Alty and Wealdstone supporters clubs got on very well anyway !
-
I was a bit anxious we'd end up with egg on our faces with a late postponement, given at one point there was heavy rain due all the way up to KO...
...but as long as the pitch is OK as we speak, there's only lighter showers now due - which the pitch should take.
-
what a pessimistic bunch this dreadful pitch has forced us to become. hopefully the lack of rain (apart from a bit of snow) in the last few days has given the the pitch some capacity to soak up what has fallen this afternoon.
-
Sorry!
I can get my game head on now. Same team? Maybe give Peers a run up top? Ceesay possibly in for Mooney? Give White a start at left back?
Anyone know if we get Moult / Colclough back yet?
-
Ceesay for Harrison please - or even Peers !
-
Confirmed starting lineup: Thompson, Senior, Hannigan, Mullarkey, Hampson, Moult, Smith, Kosylo, Hancock, Mooney, Harrison. Subs: White, Sutton, Peers, Richman, Colclough.
-

Richman or Dens rather than Harrison.
-
Is anyone else unable to load the stream tonight? I purchased it a few hours ago, but can't get it to load either on my Apple TV or web browser. Not had this issue before, so it's not due to user error!
-
Brisbane - I've fixed it. You should be OK now
-
Yes, it’s working now - many thanks, Bill.
-
1 0 up...... SBL
-
Wealdstone look a decent, well-organised outfit, as do we.
Although there are 11 league places between the two teams, this is a real 6-pointer when you consider the two games in hand that Wealdstone have.
-
2-0 Smith
-
2 0 ! SBL
-
God, we're good!!!
-
Very professional performance. Allistair Smith is the best bit of business we’ll do all year.
-
Another excellent performance, everyone did well but I thought Mooney had a very good game but really they all played well. Did TT even have a save to make ?
-
Every one of them had a good game' Splendid performance!
-
First time I've seen Harrison
Clearly not looking a twenty goals per season striker but, for me he looked okay (better than previous reports would suggest)
-
I don't think they offered much and I thought we could have won by more to be honest.
On a better surface I think we'd have hammered them.
Up to 9th in the PPG table ;D
-
Ninth is an awesome finish. The management team deserve so much credit.
Fanbloomintastic.
-
There are so many positives to take from this game I would be here till 5am tomorrow.
You know the players have all put in a graft when you see the steam coming off them during the warm-down, on the live stream!!
-
Excellent victory
-
Superb all over pitch.
Score flattered them.
Only real worry is the pitch.
Don't want a free Saturday at the moment
-
How good would Macc have been to play this weekend sat in 4th.
9th on PPG and just 0.1 off the playoffs on PPG.
A feather in our cap tonight to win so comfortably.
My only concern is 5 goals by strikers, against the better sides, this is more evident.
-
Very good result, we were very good to watch at times (even on a very heavy pitch) and could have won by 2 or 3 more.
Hard to pick out individuals as the whole team did very well. Very good down the flanks with Kozzy and Mooney, plus full backs overlapping, but what a superb 25 minute cameo from Ryan Colclough! - very nearly scored and unlucky not to set up 2 or 3 other goals.
Tony T not forced to do much which says something about Wealdstone, but a great overall performance from the lads!

And our defence, Wealdstone score a lot!

Citeh have a similar 'problem' and they're top!
I know what you mean though and I broadly agree with you but our very mobile attack without a target holding 9 has made us very awkward opposition to work out on many occasions.
-
I love the mentality of this team. They just keep plugging away, even after chances missed/hoals conceded.

Like Grand National thoroughbreds in the winners enclosure! 😂😂😂
-
The team is just a pleasure to watch. I think that the point made in a previous post about us being awkward to play against because we lack a noted striker, is well made, and while the GD only stands at plus 2 currently, I think that will improve steadily as the season progresses; there are at least half a dozen on the pitch who are very capable of scoring given the opportunity. I know that it keeps being said, but the management team are doing a stellar job bringing the best out of these players. #coyr
-
The only things I would add to the excellent posts above are that Wealdstone weren't actually a bad team, on a difficult pitch, as they had a lot of possession. They never troubled Tony Thompson, but that's a tribute to our defence and midfield.
-
Fantastic team performance.
With better finishing it could have been a cricket score against a decent defence.
What is impressive is the strong bench we have and the inter-changeability of players as a player becomes unavailable.
The late Mooney foul could have been a red. He had a great game tonight. All players 9 out of ten tonight apart from TT.....who cannot be assessed as he was an observer tonight ;D
-
I think it was a red, it was cynical, he was through without any other defenders (all be it with a whole half to run) but it looked viscous

Everything was a bit viscous on that pitch! 😉
-
Very polished performance on a heavy pitch. The whole team, in fact squad play for each other. as other said it could and should have been 4 o0r 5 nil to us.
Can I also add the live stream was excellent, commentary from Brian and John was very good also.
-
I know the pitch wasn't the best but we've played on it when it has been much worse. I remember JJ sinking in to the Pop side and he was no heavy weight.
-
I'd imagine you'd have to go quite a way back to find the last time we were this high up the league, this side of Christmas.
Can any stattos help with that?
-
Just an observation
The ground staff had far less time than usual to work on the pitch during the "closed season "
We have had significant precipitation which again restricts what Neil, Bryan and their band of helpers can do.
I'm not accusing anyone of unreasonable criticism of the ground staff, just highlighting potential reasons why it may be a bit less than optimal
-
Those who thought last night's pitch was substandard should watch "The Big Match Revisited" on ITV4 on Saturday mornings. The pitches the top clubs had to perform on in 1975 ranged from a fair approximation of Blackpool beach to the sort of soggy mudbath that cattle would be reluctant to enter ! The recent appalling weather has made pitch maintenance an utterly thankless task. Our ground staff deserve tremendous credit for getting last night's match played.

I've had the same thoughts! Amazing how they played so well on those pitches, even though they could be a great leveller!
