Title: Saturday Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on November 05, 2020, 09:39:08 AM
Same starting 11 as last Saturday.

Although there are no easy games in this league, this very winnable.

Wealdstone 1-2 Alty (Kosylo, Robbins)

Tough one to predict, they're on decent form but that's where we tend to play with less pressure.

Would take a point right now, but I firmly believe we're capable of picking up another win.

Think same team as last weekend, but with maybe centre back Sass-Davies pushing Sutton/Hannigan for a start...

Hopeful of a win... maybe 2-1 to Alty...

COYR! :)

Good question!

Mooney has a slight hamstring pull.

Any more injuries and we'll have to play the covid card for Tuesday

we've yet to be outplayed but we will continue to draw or lose matches whilst we don't have a recognised goalscorer in our team.

I hope Phil can explain why despite the transfer budget nobody has been brought in to fill the gap and support Hancock. Furlough from Looney is an abysmal excuses too.

Without a proper striker we're fukked. Much better team but toothless up top. Feel for the defence.

Get Shotton in and play him up top

Ask Steve from Sale to join the Sunday chat and ask!
Laurence Looney has been giving us some very insightful and interesting information.

I’ve had enough of Wealdstone commentators and those two self adulating  T**ts at Wealdstone. It RR for me now.

They called it correctly in my book. We should have made something out of the possesion we had in the first twenty minutes. 0 - 0 would have been a fair result. We desperately need someone with more fire in their belly up front and I don't think were looking for anyone on loan.
Title: Re: Saturday Match Thread
Post by: Inter Alty! on November 07, 2020, 05:14:20 PM
Gutted... we deserved at least a draw; as created enough chances - problem is we don't seem to have anyone who can put em away... need a quality striker!
Maybe hard to find someone of quality now season underway.

Long way to go though, as early days...

More injuries picked up to Sutton & Adarabioyo (plus maybe Ceesay) to add to recent Mooney hamstring twinge & other already known listed injuries...

Need a bit of luck with injuries & in front of goal...

We go again midweek... 5 out of next 6 games at home... lets make that count and start climbing the table!

To many missed chances cost us Today.we  need a decent striker Now to put these chances away the money is there from the Hulme transfer not quite shore why we are holding off.Great effort from the lads today but a great effort does not move us up the table.
Title: Re: Saturday Match Thread
Post by: Sarf London Alty on November 07, 2020, 05:20:33 PM
That was very frustrating-they’ve won 4 on the trot & frankly looked bang average.

Our pressing need for a centre forward grows by the game-have Crewe not got anyone?

Sass-Davies came in & acquitted himself well & Senior looked v good as per. 5/15 from 5 straight away games is reasonable but with the missed pen at Hartlepool & today it could have been more like 8 at least.

The run of home games is big. Our injury list is of concern though & can we get some quality up front on loan. Come on Alty.

That Peers chance goes the other side of the post and it's 1-1, a great point in difficult circumstances, another goal for Peers. Fine margins again. Problem is, we have players who can score, there just weren't many of them left by the end of the match. I'd rather sign the right player than panic buy. At the end of the day, we're doing ok so far. It's worth remembering as well, 6 of those matches away from home - most of those quite a long way - and the season interrupted by the current situation. Considering some of the goals we conceded early doors last season, I'm just glad to see our defence looking tight, even after the loss of JJ.

Two more injuries - it's a good  thing Crewe have plenty of decent young players to lone out isn't it? (Another win for them today too!)

I didn't have a problem with the Wealdstone commentators. They were ready to criticise their own team and praise Altrincham in equal measure. One of them was spot on when he said Altrincham would be in for a long season if they didn't find someone to score some goals.
Title: Re: Saturday Match Thread

In the league we are picking up more injuries than scoring goals. Probably double. Any reason why our players are going down like flies or just bad luck?

Frustrating to watch today against a bang average team who are now third in the league.
Usually expect the opposition commentators to be ignorant of us and biased, to be fair to the 2 today they weren't that bad.
Hopefully Mooney back soon.

if their commentators are your biggest concern after the game, give your head a wobble
Title: Re: Saturday Match Thread
Post by: MarpleAlty on November 07, 2020, 06:13:32 PM
Their commentators were more than fair and called the game as they saw it really.

So frustrating to come away empty handed - particularly conceding against the run of play when we were starting to get on top.

Sass-Davies did well when he came on, and I thought Hampson played with plenty of positivity (as picked up by their commentary).

We all know what the issue is, and it's going to cost us dearly. We either take a punt on a promising young football league striker on loan, or we try Hancock up front - I think he might stick a few more of these chances away.

Best stream and commentary I've watched so far.

I thought other than mixing up Thompson and Hampson, they'd done enough research on us and it didn't feel too much like a home stream..

It didn't work well on my Android phone. In landscape mode, I couldn't get the full picture at all, however I adjusted it. So I ended up watching a very small image with the phone upright.

I couldn't get the view on big screen either on Chrome, but I thought the commentators were very knowledgeable and fair (they read this forum too, so hello!).

They had picked up that we are, in quite a departure from previous seasons, a low-scoring team with a stubborn defence. Billy Sass-Davies fitted in very well, and I thought Connor Hampson had a good game, but it's very apparent where the problem is.We may have been unfortunate with Adarabioyo's early injury, as he does show some promise, but we do need a striker. I am sure the management know this.

With regards the commentators. It was the first away game this season where I haven't muted the commentary before half time - wish they were all like that.

That would explain it. I think I might struggle to switch to chrome! Hopefully this will not be an issue for other streams. At least the commentary was good.
