Currently there seems to be a lot of positive vibes coming from the club and fellow supporters. The side are doing very well at present. They are scoring goals, playing a very attractive game and our now starting to shut up shop in our defence. This seems to have come gradually from just before Christmas and running into the new year. I am sure I am not the only one to say how much I am enjoying the season now that we seem more settled, and have a good strong playing squad. I think our team are a joy to watch at present, they play a lovely passing game of football aka a non-league version of Man Utd. If you see Man Utd, they also emphasise attacking football; but also their defence can sometimes leave a lot to be desired as well. Several times this season I think United and Altrincham have mirrored some games, but both seem to be conquering their original faults on the pitch are are turning into good teams playing football the way it should be played.
Lee and Neil have got Altrincham playing to our expectations now, and even though there is a long way to go as yet this season, I can see where we are heading and how we are progressing. Basically we are doing what Lee and Neil intended to do from their original plan. I say lets give the final push for the playoffs now and see how far we can get. I am not taking too much notice of the latest rumours re Duncan and Damien but we should just concentrate on ourselves at present - there has also been nothing from the club regarding this either, it is just hearsay for me.
Thanks to the players and Neil and Lee for a great season so far, you are definitely getting there lads. Give it your all at Worcester on Saturday pm, and then next Tuesday at Droylsden. Six points from the next two games will put us in a much more commanding position. I really think now that Lee, Neil and the team are the future for this club, and I for one, have taken many positives from last Saturdays game.
So lads, I am enjoying the season, and if you want to achieve success then the ball is in your court, one things for certain, the fans are right behind you all. Good luck tomorrow lads! Stake your claim in the playoff spots and give it your all.
