This team should be good enough to get us a top 10 finish, never mind beat Morpeth.

Can't make Saturday , will be at Morpeth if we  draw...

If injured players return as expected I expect Alty to win by a couple of goals

Still fitness questions about Deasey and Hannigan.  On the bench on Saturday but sadly Hannigan missed out on the game last night V Knutsford, he will be short of match fitness.

When you take those two out of the proposed eleven it starts to look very shaky at the back.

Gut feel is a nervy game. They will score. I reckon either a slender victory for Alty or a draw.

I think we need to start thinking out of the box in terms of team selection.

                     Deasy

Patterson Hannigan Cyrus Docherty

               Joyce     Goodall

       Miller      Wilkinson    Cain

                     Reeves

                          Deasey

          Hannigan  Cyrus   Goodhall

Patterson   Moult   Wilkinson    Doherty
   
                         Lawrie

                 Reeves  Miller

Goodhall has been a better at cb than hcm in my opinion.

Alty 3-1.  Miller x 2, Reeves

No idea of the attendance, just hope people can get behind the team.

Its going to be a real battle this, they have an excellent cup pedigree and score plenty but let them in too.
NL teams are always much better than you expect.

I reckon 3-3 with a replay on that bumpy pitch of theirs.

Havnt been on here for a while, but since i know morpeth very well il give you my oppinion, Morpeth are a very good side at our level but im sure you dont need me to say, they shouldnt be beating a side from the northetn confetence. We played them at their place 3 weeks ago, we were the better team 1st half but in the 2nd half they desrvedly beat us 2-1.  The main man is keith graydon, for those of you who know me he has the same hairstyle as me, easily recognised, he's getting on a bit and young ben sayers does all his running. In central defence Chris Swailes, the oldest player to score at wembley, is 45. Solid as a rock but like i say he's 45. I fully expect alty to beat them. But  In the case of a draw, i work 20 minutes from morpeth and will pop along so you can all tell me how wrong i was

Seriously concerned wbout the number they  sdore. If we're not careful we could get dragged into an end to end game of footy.  I dont fancy that too much with our confidence levels. 

I am hoping for a flood of good news from the physios office in the next day or so.

Come on Alty.

Post by: Mrs Warbouys on September 28, 2016, 11:48:53 PM
They concede a lot also. Scored 23 conceded 16 in the league. Kept one clean sheet in the league and have conceded 10 in their last five games.

Morpeth 4/1 with BetVictor.

Um, not the worst odds I've ever seen.

Playing Wednesday night and then having to travel 170 odd miles to our place Saturday has to be of benefit to us you'd hope. It's going to be an open game which will suit us.

Hmm, I reckon 16/5 on the draw is a better bet (but of course I'm hoping for a win for us).

I will be making a special guest appearance and i expect to see plenty of goals and an Altrincham win. 6/4 BTTS and Altrincham to win looks a great bet.

FYI if we do draw the game today and any of you are going to the replay next Weds, it took me 5 & 1/2 hrs to get to 10 miles north of Morpeth yesterday the road works on the A1 around Catterick up to past Scotch Corner are a pain in the arse.

Thank god morpeth were nowhere near as good as we'd built them up to be....
Awful game....when will we stop putting ourselves under constant pressure by giving the ball away so cheaply?...moult and lawrie the worst culprits.
Not seen a player run a game for alty like greg did today...motm well deserved...
Dawber not up to this level what an awful schumaker esque challenge how was that not a pen?
Millers dive worst one ive seen by alty player...
Reevesy scores when he wants
Marsh looks a player.
Lots of positives but we have to stop this lazy ball giving away...
Onwards and upwards and more money to go on strengthening..

Post by: MarpleAlty on October 01, 2016, 06:04:00 PM
Bishop Auckland at home will do - similar level to Morpeth and the only Step 5 team left in the northern half of the draw.

A few sides left that we should fancy our chances against - Kettering, Lincoln Utd, Stourbridge, Spennymoor

Let's hope the lad who got carried off is ok, and Tom Hannigan

A win is a win and for once we'll have 7K more than BBC Salford in the bank. I still don't fancy anyone next round - can we not just have a bye?

Dreafully slow paced game. They were dreadful but we still made hard work of it.

Clearly need the worst team at home next round. I assume that's Guiseley
Title: Re: Morpeth - match Thread
Post by: Mausoleum Alty on October 01, 2016, 07:02:55 PM
The 'worst' 3-0 win I can ever remember! Morpeth can feel very hard done by as 1-0 would've been harsh on them but we're in the hat for the next round and hopefully the draw will be favourable.

Edit..Hope the Morpeth lad that got stretchered off is OK,what an awful challenge by Dawber!
Title: Re: Morpeth - match Thread
Post by: PukkaPieman on October 01, 2016, 07:14:28 PM
You can only beat whats in front of you.

We looked much more composed at the back with Tom back, I hear the injury wasnt too bad so hopefully he will be back soon.

The tactics were right but we just gave the ball away far too much and quality in the last third was poor.

Still showing signs of recovery and should give the lads a bit more confidence.

Anyone know how the lad who was stretchered off is? It looked bad from the other end of the field & you don't like to see anyone seriously injured - I shall always be haunted by Marcus Hallows' scream when his leg went in that tackle v Ashton many moons ago.
As to the game - a win's a win, but that's about all you can say. Marsh looks like a player; Lawrie & Miller remain luxuries we can afford against lesser teams, but ... ; Wilkinson continues to look good at the level we're now involved with; & I for one would like to see Cain given a start ere long.

How poor was Jake Moult though? That has to be one of his worst performances in an Alty shirt. He's not a patch on the player he was a couple of years ago but is it down to how he's being asked to play now I don't know?
Title: Re: Morpeth - match Thread
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on October 02, 2016, 10:04:27 AM
Just got to be greatful we are in tomorrow's draw on talkSPORT. The Morpeth manager felt that North Shields and Blyth are better sides than us, hard to argue with that on yesterday's showing and we are going to have to be 10 times better against stalybridge next Saturday. Plus a bit tougher because they kicked the sh*t out of Halifax yesterday. The lads to need to drop the nerves as we are a bit beyond worrying about it now and just go out and play to their potential. 30 games left and we are probably going to need 12/13 wins just to stay in this league. That's not being negative, that's fact looking at historical stats of this division

Jake Moult has been dreadful all season. I voted him player of the year two years ago and second to Tim last year. He's not the only senior player at our club who hasn't come to the party yet though.
