Title: Radio Robins: Harrogate Town v Altrincham
Post by: Brian Flynn on August 12, 2011, 11:55:16 PM
Radio Robins is hoping to broadcast a full match commentary of Saturday's game, however we are advised that there is no wireless internet service at Wetherby Road & therefore we will be relying on using a mobile broadband device.The broadcast, therefore, is dependant upon the strength of the mobile signal, which we are advised is good.

Commentary is scheduled to start at 2.50pm & the commentators are Tony Chetham & Brian Flynn.

Listen in on www.radiorobins.com

How did we lose that?  This is going a harder season to watch than I thought.  I was looking forward to going into games with a decent chance of winning it but now I'm gutted after a 3-2 away defeat when last year it would have been a good effort and on to the next home game with a shrug after a narrow away defeat.

First of all I have to say BSN football is certainly a culture shock if Harrogate are anything to go by.

I am sat in my hotel room in downtown Harrogate wondering how we didnt manage to win that game today.

We created so many chances and they were defending for their lives for the last 35 mins

Lee Sinnot looked as bewildered as I felt when he walked off the pitch..

Harrogate probably wont have a bigger crowd all season and I am certainly not convinced they will be a force to reckon with. They were a very physical team who were very lucky to have just the one player sent off - how there no 7 and the centre back with the Lionel Ritchie hair do didnt get there marching orders is beyond me. There goalie was also in slow motion replay mode for the total game and really pissed most the visiting off big time, the ref chose not to even give him a yellow card for some unknown reason

although I am pissed off I am by no way concerned at the lads general performance

If we are going to do well in this league we can do it by playing football and not humping balls up like the opposition did.

We were a yard faster than Harrogate today.

We go again on Tues at home to Warrington Workington

Spot on.

We could play Harrogate 100 times and we'd beat em 99 times. Today was just not meant to be.

We'll win more than we'll lose this year and there will be far worse teams in this league than Harrogate who in my opinion were pretty poor.

The only negative from today was the fact that we looked v vulnerable each time they whipped a cross in. They scored on one occassion and nearly had a couple more from similar situations.

As Nicky Clee has said on Twitter , we'll play worse than today and win.

Keep the faith.

Just got back.  First match of the season.

First off hello to WarrenPeytonstattoo who managed to be both drunk and coherent. Natty trick that. 

Second how old does Paul Jones look? Are they sure he isn't 74? Did they check his birth certificate?

Lastly yes keep the faith.  Alty played some good stuff today and lost out to a bit of bad luck. Twiss and Reeves works so stick at it.

Concerns: Brown isn't good enough, Lawton has never looked match fit to me for a season now and the pre-match smoke flare thing was for too classy for that dump.

In Lee we trust.

Having now recoverered from the shock of that, starting to see the positives in it.

Nicky Clee took the piss for fun.

Both our goals were quality.  Twiss ran his arse of today and how he didn't get more than one I don't know.

On another day we would have have six goals.

If thats a big spending Conference North team then what will Solihull Moors be like?

Shame it was classic Alty really.  Big support and a good start and then sucker punch penalty.   Then more good play and second goal.

I thought at half time we were dead and buried to be honest.

I have never seen more shots blocked off the line or chances missed in a match.

It was a worry that we didnt look as solid as I thought we would at the back...clearly a lot to work on there.

The manner of the defeat was galling but we haven't just been thrashed 3-0 without having a kick.

Make your mind up..????

BTW, Brown is good enough and had a good name.

Thanks for the comments folks..........very much appreciated.

Despite the dramatic nature of the defeat & the fact that, defensively, we did look pretty vulnerable on a number of occasions,I'm feeling pretty upbeat tonight.When was the last time we created that many chances in a league game & how incredible were some of those blocks?

Lots of positives, I thought & one or two negatives, but plenty to build on & some of our football was terrific.

Superb entertainment for the neutrals....& the Harrogate faithful!

This could be a very interesting season!

I wonder if Lee is looking for a full back and a 'game changer' to come off the bench ie a big target man or someone with pace and attacks centrehalves directly.

Who else could have played left-back today? Anyway just my opinion.

Without any irony or bitterness, I can honestly say that Harrogate are the worst team I have ever seen, comically bad at times.
If that is the standard of this league, surely we have a chance. I feel rock bottom at the moment, but hopefully by tomorrow I will be able to see the positives.

Can't remember the last time I said this but we actually battered them in parts today and certainly didn't deserve to lose. i agree that we looked vulnerable in some periods but overall I think we'll push on quite positively. I am quietly confident of a good result on Tuesday.

Mark Lees could but Ryan Brown had a good game, it was the CH's that made the errors for the twopens and missed a far post header. Aprt from their goals they created nothing and we had at least 10 very clear chances, so really it was our poor finishing that let us down.

I am actually quite optimistic now ;D ;D If we play football like that every week (minus the defensive errors) we will soon be at the top.

I don't think bringing Astley on would had made much difference.Twiss and Reeves were doing really well,so you'd had to go 3 up front if you wanted him on. Richman may had still been carrying a knock, so might be why he wasn't risked, otherwise thought he would had come on.

Silly mistakes and outstanding goal-line clearances meant we lost today. On another day, we would had been winning before the 1st, and even at 2-0 could had been 5-2.

A lot to be positive about. Welcome to Conference North again

Jesus H. Christ.

We battered them. Some epic last ditch defending from Harrogate.

Really pissed off as the best side by a long way did not win the match but we will have some good days out this season.

A few people might have had a bit too much but Harrogate were clearly not used to having away fans in their ground. Nice town and good day out aside.

Bring on Tuesday.

My first point was that Ryan Brown had a great game today, and looks a very good solid attacking defender now. As with other comments I am a little worried about our central defence, but TBH Lee Sinnott will sort those problems very quickly - it was his playing position as well. Our movement and passing and invention were superb today and despite the result there were may positives I took from today's game. Thought the reffing standard was very poor, but when you drop down a league maybe the refs do as well. Nice chat with a very approachable Lee Sinnott before the game, and we as supporters more than did our bit. Lee was surprised when I told him there would be up to 200 of us, but in all truth, I think there were more than that.

Surprise bonus was that Halifax also lost today which surprised me as much as our result. But overall I was pleased with our play today and think we will do well this season by playing the game as it should be rather than just hoofing it. Just need to work on some of our defending. Would like to have seen Astley for the last 15 minutes, as I am certain his pace would have upset the Harrogate defence.

On another day we would have hammered them 5-0, looking forward to Teusday now.

In terms of the result you are right,...but in terms of performance, thats was as well as I have seen us play against supposedly equal opposition for a long, long time. Bodes very well for the coming season which is a marathon not a sprint.

We failed to make a league deadline to confirm that our owner had secured the ground deal. We face a possible three points deduction, fine or even explusion. Still... Alty haven't won yet!

I do feel sorry for Northwich and to make matters worse if you are a football league team,those same rules seem not to matter,just look at the Plymouth farce,Still in Admin from Last season,no word from the group of Irishmen that are the prefered bidders and the Players still not paid from Last December,the administrator has had to go to couurt to try and get them to pay up.They were given a deadline of Tuesday 16th,but that went by without any movement,that deadline has now been extended to the end of the week,this is the 3rd time the deadline has not been met.
If this was a non league team they would have been kicked out of the league ages ago.So i say good luck to the Vics and hope to see you promoted back to the Blue Square Prem where we will hopefully be awaiting you.

The pen was conceded by Mark Lees, who I thought had a decent game. I'd leave him in with Flynn when he comes back, and also leave in Ryan Brown. The man who worries me is Jones, whose lack of pace and failure to get off the ground weren't evident in pre-season. I hope he's not going to be another Marc Joseph.........
