Team for tonight for me would be
Reid
Densmore
Leather
Hall
Grimshaw
Lawrie
Watmore
Moult
Ofori
Brooke
Mitchley
Stupidly you have to play your strongest team, I'm not sure we'd get away with playing less of the starting 11 from Sunday.
Mysteriously when the Cheshire FA enquire, Coburn, Havern, Doughty, Bruno, Clee, Reeves all have either a) all took knocks on Sunday or b) have a 'team' stomach bug
I don't want to play down the CSC, but we'll have to give some of those left out above a game on Saturday in the trophy which realistically we have a better chance of winning than the FA Cup (albeit only just) ;D
-
Isn't Danny Hall suspended for tonights game?

Yes
-
Ah! didn't realise that the CSC qualified as a game that bans would apply in..
This reflects our lack of depth in central defence then, we might have to play Havern (if fit) or Rodgers, both of which I would rather be rested...
-
Should see the debut of Ollie Riley, central midfield and Youth team captain ? We've got him on BSN forms.
-
Lacey will be in
-
We should see the youngsters but I don't think we will.
Just been told that 300 Congleton fans have been kettled into Goose Green by the Poilce and will be escorted to the game. Should be quite a tie..
-
Could it go to extra time and penalties tonight? I assume there are no replays in the CSC these days?

It's go to be decided tonight....oooo the drama!

For an outlay of £10, I simply demand 30 minutes of extra time followed by penalties....

Its a very strong bench tonight! !Lawrie, Reeves, Richman, Clee, Moult. Can't have been too many stronger bences in the history of the CSC!!
-
Great bench. What's on the pitch is quite another matter >:(
-
Three quarter time, still 0-2. It's really worrying that there is no depth to our squad. I've said for ages that Mitchley needs a goal to give him confidence. At this rate he'll score it in 2015. Cow's arse, banjo, etc.
Brooke ? I'd have McAliskey back before I'd play him again.
OK, we started with six teenagers on the pitch, and Buzz at centre back. Yes their first golal was a thing of beauty, and the second a decent finish. But the bottom line is we've been dire.
And their number 11, Jack Graham, has just scored a cracking third. We should put in 7 day's notice on him. Quality.
At least I won't have to waste my time on this tinpot cup again this season - but the performance was worse than tinpot.
-
Its congletons cup final a bit like us at burton doubt the result will concern anyone , main thing is that we don't puick up any injuries
-
And Keystone Kops defending allows Graham to complete his hat trick from the penalty spot. Final score 0-4.
Bloody disgraceful by any standards.
-
Finished 4 nil
-
Some truly appalling performances tonight . No midfield capability, defenders that didn't know how to defend, and forwards that never mind couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo, couldn't even find the farm on a map. If we learn anything from tonight it's that Altrincham have no strength in depth at all and some players are not worth their place in the squad.
-
To be honest I couldnt care less.
We are better out of the cup, we dont have a big squad and pointless games puts them under more pressure.
Glad we are out of it, as for the performance who gives a toss to be honest, apart from those who paid £10 and didnt stay indoors with a hot cup of coco.
-
I'm not talking about the Cheshire Senior Cup, I'm talking about the ability and performance of the players on show tonight.
-
Hopefully LS will take note of the senior players who failed to shine and look to replace them. That would enable us to look upon tonight as a useful exercise!
-
I guess that makes sense, if he sees nothing in the senior players he can get rid and get some decent squad players.
-
Not that bothered about going out but that was embarassing.
In a game that fringe players had a chance to shine and state a claim they didn't. Brooke and Mitchley in particular were shlocking.
-

Since he wasn't there tonight, it won't happen.
-
Not disappointed about going out, we were dreadful. Lacey looked like he was going to explode at any point, possibly just frustrated, Duncan did well but in the end over played a little, Moult looked like the best player on the pitch when he came on. He's never a centre back though..
Sadly Brooke and Mitchley only confirmed what i already knew.. not good enough.
We have a good starting 11, but strength in depth is non existant..
Where was Mr Sinnott tonight? Was the trip too far? Or did he travel to Plymouth?
Fair play to Congleton, best of luck in the next round..
-
He was there. Got there late but was under a hat wondering what the fook he has signed
-
I wonder if Neil Tolson said to the lads.
"Listen boys, there is a few out there who think you aren't good enough to step up to the plate, if you could just prove it beyond all doubt that would be brilliant"
I'm not bothered that we are out at all. It was a mix and match of a team and it showed so I wasn't expecting free flowing football. However that was like a bad joke.
Full credit to Congleton though. They were keen and seemed to have some decent players amongst their ranks, played some nice stuff and a couple had pace to burn. There goals were all tidy finsihes as well, the third was superb!
In fact I'd have probable swopped at least four of theirs for four of ours at the end of the game.
Duncan did OK and tried his best, the rest were utter sh*t.
-
All the teams that Jimmy Vince Jnr have managed have, to my recollection, played decent football and tonight was no exception
Jim coaches at Crewe and to have been asked to do that he must want the game played the right way (ironic really considering that he was what might be called a "robust" defender during his playing days.
Anyway. I think, for what it's worth that Sam Grimshaw showed some potential and ability, Duncan did what Duncan does but sadly wasn't really playing with the quality of team mate that he normally does and therefore it sometimes looked a bit rum.
Derryn Ofori, IMHO just tried too hard and it didn't really go for him tonight.
I was however very impressed with Shaun Densmore tonight. He waas all over the place trying to cover for colleagues and gave 100% all game but, more importantly, he was trying, all night, to encourage the youngsters and fringe players. It would have been easy, given his upcoming suspension, for him to have coasted through tonight yet he did nothing of the sort and nor did he get on any of the youngster's cases when what they tried didn't come off for them

Couldn't agree more.
The only redeeming features of tonight's pitiful exercise were that Hall served his suspension and nobody in an Alty shirt appeared to incur an injury.
All that the game really reinforced were our underlying fears that our 'squad' simply contains no depth or quality in reserve whatsoever, a defect that Mister Sinnott must surely have to address anon.
Mitchley and Lacey were unremittingly woeful.
Ryan Brooke probably gave one of the worst displays in an Altrincham FC shirt that it has been my misfortune to witness in numerous years.
Fair play to Congleton Town, who fully warranted their victory.... but that was truly embarrassing stuff to endure at times from an Alty perspective.
And the ridiculous booking for substitute Jake Moult at the start of the second half did not reflect well on the Alty management and could proceed to be rather costly.

Sorry, Phil, but I simply cannot agree with you there.
Whilst his levels of encouragement might have been up to scratch his own peformance wasn't, as some Alty stalwarts remarked in the bar after the game.
Congleton Town seemed to enjoy plenty of success down our right flank all evening.
His standards have fallen, in my view.
-
Delighted to be out. Crap competition.
-
I don't like to comment on games I don't go however you maybe right no bad thing that were out however what people who did go are concerned about is the performance of some of the fringe players
-
What was Moult booked for? I think I'd lost interest by then.

Entering the field of play without permission. Just joined in at the start of the second half without the necessary formalities, had to go off and come back on again.

The man he was supposed to mark scored a hat trick, and also drew a top class save from Adam Reid (who could.'t be blamed for what went on) so he must shoulder his share of blame.

Indeed, I doubt that many will mourn our exit from the Cheshire Senior Cup.
However, all we were really asking for last evening was some demonstration by such 'fringe' players as Lacey; Brooke and Mitchley that they are capable of making a telling contribution to our first team, should they be required.
Alas, they all failed the audition.

Perhaps we should view that as a positive? This was their big chance to show us something. They failed. So at least now we know they're not good enough and can set about replacing them should the right players become available. I dunno - just a thought.
I take your point about hoping the reserves show something. But we could have played poorly while labouring to a 2-1 win and setting up another meaningless sh*t tie against a team of which I've never heard. Personally, the two things I wanted most from last night were no serious injuries and to be out of the competition. Both boxes are ticked. So I'm happy.

seconded.

Annoyed, one less game for me on my visit back.
