Toulson at Alty "for good" according to the commentators

Vic 1-0 down

He also claimed Toulsen played for us in the Trophy game - not a clue.  No surprise there!

Cahill injured!

Meanwhile, Farsley 1 up

Do you think its a boring game or is it just the commentator commentating as if he is watching a couple of old ladies going for a walk around the local park?

My mate at the game says the commentators are talking bollocks - we are far more in the game than they are suggesting.

Their commentators are sounding especially patronising today (even by their standards!).

1-0 Alty, scuffed shot from Little.  I don't mind though :).  Justice coming straight after a 'lancashire' comment.

I said it was a shame Cahill went off, i retract my previous statement ;).  Still hope Cahill isn't out for too long.

It's hard to gauge when Alty are getting in the game because they just talk nonsense when we are attacking half the time.

Good point, first time York have come to us and not won apparently, so can't complain.

Still a good new years run, 2 wins, a draw and a loss.

"neither side will be happy with a point"

Oh yes we are - letting in two goals in two minutes withy 20 odd minutes to go but we didn't collapse and held on for a point.  A significant improvement on earlier in the season.

7 points from 12 this year is a good effort.

Well done Alty!
Title: Re: Shotton at right back as Young starts
Post by: Dougals Dad on January 19, 2008, 04:51:31 PM

Good point BA.   Obviously disappointed that we let in 2 in 2 mins after being 2 up...but like you say, with 20 some minutes still to go you'd have thought we'd have probably ended up losing.   Certainly I think we would have before Christmas, so got to be happy with the point, we'd have all taken a draw at 3PM.

"neither side will be happy with a point"

Oh yes we are - letting in two goals in two minutes withy 20 odd minutes to go but we didn't collapse and held on for a point.  A significant improvement on earlier in the season.

7 points from 12 this year is a good effort.

Well done Alty!
Good point BA.   Obviously disappointed that we let in 2 in 2 mins after being 2 up...but like you say, with 20 some minutes still to go you'd have thought we'd have probably ended up losing.   Certainly I think we would have before Christmas, so got to be happy with the point, we'd have all taken a draw at 3PM.

York had hatfuls of chances to win it but couldn't get it on target. Once they'd scored it was like they got a real shot of adrenaline and pressed on. Both goals they got looked they they found huge gaps to go through. On a heavy pitch it's not surprising Alty legs got tired. Cahill going off injured early looked like it might be bad as he had been holding up the ball beautifully but Colin Little got the goals so it didn't matter. We had the measure of them until they go the first goal but fitness told in the end. And fortunately York's missed chances. We get a point, everyone around us doesnt. Good result.

Great result and one I would have snatched your hand off for prior to kickoff. However, given that their first goal gave them the "shot of adrenalin" to press forward and go for the win, it makes the nature of that goal all the more disappointing.

However, we've come out of today's fixtures better off so I'm definitely not complaining.

365 Agree

Stu will not be happy with the first, he had time to come and collect the ball!

Well done lads, keep going.

Up to that point the defence hadn't made a single mistake. All I could see from the other end was Stuart rushing to the side of the penalty area for a ball he never got to. When it came over the York man was totally unmarked. In fact their goals looked very similar to the two we got against Kidderminster.

As the ball was played through the ball was a good 30m in front of the players, Stu should have collected at the edge of the area.

A real pity, as others have stated they looked ordinary until then.

Couldn't complain with the point today.  Gutted we threw it away, but the difference really started to show at 60 minutes.  Grinded out the point in the end, and the spirit once again shown by the lads on the back foot, you can't fault it.  Well done lads

One month ago that result just would not have happened. No doubt about it, we'd have lost 4 or 5 nil. We are playing with renewed purpose and new-found confidence and it's great to be able to say that.

Agreed. The 3-1 defeat in the Trophy was the benchmark we had to beat.

Little's first goal described as "sweet left footed strike" on BBC - not quite what the radio boys thought!

Second one was very sweet.

All there is to say, is that was a remarkable game of football played by two teams who desperately wanted to win. 2-2 was the correct result and I'd say that if both teams continue to play like that, we will stay up and York will make the play offs. The substitution of King was a bit iffy to say the least, but I don't want to marr what was a fantastic team performance and a great advert for non league football. That is all.

I couldn't see what was achieved by replacing Senior with O'Neill.

Totally agree with this, disappointed to have thrown a way a healthy lead but, on the other hand:

a) I think we would have all settled for a point before the game
b) We were seriously on the back foot after they got the first and any other time in the season, surely would have lost.

And the main positive for me, we looked a changed side out there and the performance as a whole was top.

A much improved performace today. For the first 60 mins we looked liked we belong in this league rather than a team boxing above it's weight. York were a very good side and came at us like an express train (coming from York, that shouldn't be suprising) and we did well to hold on at the end despite some very tired legs on a heavy pitch.
Over all far more plusses than negatives - yes it's disapointing to lose a 2 goal lead but if we continue to play like today we will stay up.
