They might actually perform better when they aren't in front of a set of toxic supporters. When they misplace the passes and mistime the tackles the groans won't be as loud.
Let's hope so anyway.

I only didn't select Greg because I think we can only afford two out of him, Lawrie and Miller and I've just seen a bit more of the other two this season.I would agree that if all three are fit we can only find space for two of them; if Wilkinson is fit he gets one of those places for me simply because he can pass a ball to another player in a similarly coloured shirt more often than the other two combined. I presume the new loanee - of whom I confess to knowing nothing - will go into central defence. Either Cyrus or Hall could make way - for me it's as broad as it's long. For my money we have to have two potential ball-winners in midfield, which implies Richman & Moult (Goodall might qualify if he weren't so slow). Maybe Lawrie could play behind Reeves (Marsh is still in my honest opinion not match fit enough to start - he was blowing by half-time on Tuesday)? I wonder whether Cain might be considered as a left wing pure & simple, with the aim of getting to the by-line & putting low crosses into the box to see what might happen (crosses above head height being counter-productive).
Just to be clear, I am not blaming the fans for their actions. It's just a natural reaction to some terrible performances.
It does put extra pressure on the players shoulders though and sometimes teams do perform better away than at home as a result.
If you are going on Saturday I hope you have as much opportunity to cheer as BPA did. I also hope you know more than one song :-)

Most patient fans in non-league and again get a kicking - nice. We used to be the Man utd of non league football, at the moment we are more likely the Bolton, soon to be the portsmouth. Probably best if we all stop caring
I stay in a hotel opposite the Flower Pot all week as I work in Derby. It is one of a surprisingly high number of excellent pubs in the city.
Slightly off topic I know, but for anyone travelling to the game tomorrow, and who has a car and doesnt mind a moderate diversion on the way home via Derby, and likes blues/rock guitar, then I have a free ticket going for this gig at the Flower Pot in Derby ...
Its basically Rory Gallagher's original band members, Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna with a Dutch guy who plays like the late Rory (as if anyone could) ...
http://www.seetickets.com/event/band-of-friends/the-flowerpot/981846 (http://www.seetickets.com/event/band-of-friends/the-flowerpot/981846)
If anybody would like the ticket, please post on here, and I shall bring it to the game and leave it for collection in the front office (usually manned by Graham 'Benny' Hill) at the Victoria Ground. Dont make the mistake I did, though ... the event is for over 18s only, due to it being licensed premises ... If more of you want to go than one, I guess other tickets may still be available for purchase online...

Good venue, the Flower Pot. I saw Aztec Camera there about 15 years ago.
Hats off to anyone bothering going

We should dedicate "All I Need is Everything" to Jim Harvey >:(
Oh dear..........game over inside 10 minutes
Those who have made the journey should most certainly feature in the NY Honours list - services to optimism
Wretched. We're not even competing with lower mid-table sides. The worst thing is that the only people who seem angry about what's happening are the fans. The players look lost, the management dumbstruck and clueless and certain members of the board spent the day smirking and clowning around. I've got train tickets for Lincoln but after that, I've had it with this lotI think there may be a lot of people who ordinarily would go to Lincoln in a blink of an eye who now won't bother. I, for one, don't fancy wasting another Saturday watching players who don't appear to give a flying f@ck about my club. The thing is, I will be there because I do give a f@ck about my club. I'm the mug as they're the ones taking my hard earned!

"Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the Evo-Stik League with you."
(With apologies to Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan of Stealers Wheel).
Which board members were clowning around?
Every time I think things can only get better they get even worse....The last paragraph is really interesting and Is how I feel. No songs .. nothing . I miss the days of King Heathcote and taylor. Real men
I'll be at Lincoln next week but spending money and effort following this side is becoming much less attractive with each minute at the moment,
This current side is making me lose the desire to keep caring so much and it's making me something I never thought possible regarding Alty....Apathetic
I feel no attachment to hardly any of the players or the coaching staff. It's a very sad situation.
The lack of leadership and authority on the pitch at the moment is frightening. We need someone to start taking games by the scruff of the neck from the outset. Granted this won't be helped by a complete lack of confidence but our senior players need to stand up and be counted. The sooner densmore is back the better because our record without him is truly awful. And we should be doing everything in our power to get Clee back. That should be a priority.

Within the past three years, both Barrow and Telford (like Alty, Clubs relegated into this league) found themselves in the relegation zone around Xmas, and on awful runs of form. But both escaped ... Telford by signing Hednesford management team and about four players, meaning Hednesford went down. Barrow by signing Workington's management team and about four players. So, they both got stronger, but as they did, so in the process they severely undermined another nearby Club, who went backwards and got relegated in their place. That's how dog eat dog this level is. Could Alty attract 3 or 4 players from the Nash? ...
Good luck on Saturday ... , ... I may go and watch Curzon at Westfields ... See you in Feb ...
Passing around your players? I guess we'll stick to passing underneath them, as its goals wot counts ... like this one

There isnt really much of a need to attack Alty through the centre of defence, as you are so weak down the flanks. Chekaine Steele (who is only 19) roasted McWilliams at BPA about 3 weeks ago and did so again on Saturday ... but it is your right flank where the biggest mismatch was ... Keane and Weir tore Patterson apart down your right flank, as he was exposed time and time again ... and that is where both our first two goals came from. We play with wing-backs who can defend, but yours seem to play far forward, and seem to be unable to defend. They leaving huge gaps, and clearly Telford and BPA exploited you in those areas before we did again. Goodall screwed up against Telford through the middle, and again on Saturday. Deasy made a big error for the second ..., as shown ... No wonder Wayne Thomas was marked higher than those around him ...

Can we have this guy as a summariser on Radio Robins please?
I like the matter of fact approach and the brutal honesty.
