Would be an outrageous decision if we sacked him now. Bloke needs some time to give it a proper go at the very least

White collar is a good addition but agree with the above on the writing, should be dropped.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Idiots guide to northern premier league football
« on: April 21, 2017, 02:08:13 AM »Our current squad won't win that league. Just not enough desire or commitment.
Our current squad would be hard pushed to avoid being relegated from this league!
The standard must be shocking as even we managed to turn over Blyth and Matlock this season.

Got to be careful we don't get split down the middle with that back 4.

I think Dan Jones might like to explain why he removed the account. No apology from him in there.
Just to clear up, how can you possibly tweet about the match if you aren't there? Were you watching from outside?

Matt all but admitted this at the meeting last week.
My impression is that Matt has been very good for bringing the morale back up in the dressing room and getting the players to act more like a team with each other off the pitch, whereas Robbie has been the one to carry out instructions and bring back structure to the way we play, with a little bit of discipline to the side as well when things aren't going right.I've been impressed with what he's had to say in both interviews and the Q and A too
I think they both are bringing different qualities to the table and it looks like it's beginning to work. I like the way the side are giving everything on the pitch these days with them in charge even if the football isn't great to watch.

Great win and a clean sheet as well. Sounds like Tomlinson put in a very assured performance too

« on: March 06, 2017, 10:08:24 PM »I'd definitely keep
Densmore (with a full pre season)
Cyrus
Richman
Taylor
Miller
Clee
Reeves - don't believe he's become a bad player over night.perfect opportunity next season to reignite himself
Jury is out on Brownhill,Deasy, Owens, Hannigan Moult, Evans, Lawrie, Lynch, McWilliams and Gary Jones although I'd be tempted to put Moult in the Reeves category.
Heathcote is a strange one as he's still developing. I think it's probably worth keeping him to see how he adapts to the evostik personally
Arent Deasey and Hannigan on contract for next season? agree with most but not sure on Cyrus and think Reeves will go
You might be right there. I think Cyrus has put in some good performances recently, he's got enough in there to be effective especially in the league below but seems like he might be one of those that needs a calmer head alongside him.
I like Gary Jones and would probably try to retain him as well even though he's 39 but it depends on southport for that one with them looking likely for the drop. I'd be the same with Newby but doubt Barrow would let him go to an evo stik club

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Strategic Review Meeting: Coverage
« on: February 26, 2017, 09:25:41 PM »Watched it all. Firstly, thanks to those recording it.
Absolutely shambolic, the presenters - poor. The chairman - weak, unrehearsed, the outcome! Nothing we hadn't heard before.
Have to say the staging was embarrassing too. Chairman speaks, open up to the floor, first person to speak is Heathcote. Followed by there's your next board member - Sorry f**k off. Let's breed more nepotism.
Graham spoke about the quality of Sam - his son first! Really!! . He kicks it up in the air everytime he has the ball. Also he criticised Reeves, who is probably our highest earner and can't get a game - now we know why!
There's a 5 year plan - not detailed or explained.
Ian Watmore totally protected the board throughout. At no point tonight were they under pressure, apart from two questions (same person) which they skirted around.
Paul Diane - sh*thouse, other board members not interested in talking. Thought Bill Watering spoke passionately.
Unless the whole board resign (excluded Bill) with whatever consequences that brings, we will be as frustrated in future years as we are today.
Shambles...
Expect sponsors, investors to desert the club like the proverbia sinking ship. Long live the sports hall....
Graham mentioned his son as one of 3 promising young players coming through at the club. He also said that Reeves has had a poor season which is completely true but that he is still part of a core nucleus of players in the squad.
The board also specifically said a number of times that there would be future sessions for the explanation of the 5 year plan and that it would be made available to download after tonight.

« on: February 19, 2017, 02:20:17 PM »Terrible game and atmosphereit's so sad to see . We were always known as being noisy and having good singers
We get out sung by harrogates 10 man army now
There were a lot of singers missing yesterday
Rough times
Harrogate's manager summed it up in his post match interview
"It's not the place it was a couple of years ago here with an upbeat atmosphere..it was very flat coming out for the warm up"

Talks about the pitch a lot

« on: January 28, 2017, 08:17:15 PM »better players? more tenacity? I don't know who you've been watching or have you been taken in my by the bullsh*t interviews with our management team.do you think we should have kept Harvey ? .What was Newby like?Looked lively, if not a little lightweight.
Well, I'm going to be controversial tonight and not popular ...but I'm gonna say it. And, having been to every home game and only missed 2 away games all season I feel I have the right ...but I was pissed off with our fans picking out 2 players ( Cyrus and Hannigan) for direct stick today. Booing the ref for not sending Cyrus off, and replying to the Fylde support who were chanting Toms name with " you can have him back " is out of order. Particularly as these guys were right in front of the fans...I wonder if you'd be as brave on your own or say them face to face?
Not too sure what you expected today, and I applaud you for making the effort to go, but it's counter productive to offer support by travelling then to loudly slag off individuals (who are not making errors deliberately). Plus, I happened to think Hannigan played well today - but of course that is personal opinion.
I'm all for the Roweley chants --he does need to go -- but he's not on the pitch and I was unhappy at these 2 players being picked out like that.
Tend to agree if I'm honest but I think and hope that they were more tongue in cheek chants than anything laughing at our own demise, especially that of Hannigan. I think most supporters would agree that he alone isn't the problem this season.
As for people saying Doughty out etc I'd have to disagree, no manager can undo what has happened here in such a short space of time, you'd need a miracle. You can't just get rid of every single manager that comes through the door if you don't see instant results, it's going to take a lot of time to turn this around.
No, because I saw absolutely no fight from him whatsoever, we actually got worse I'd say plus the players he brought in added nothing. I've seen some better players under doughty already and a little bit more tenacity. I think that's earned him some more time if nothing else. Besides the season is gone now, what manager in his right mind would want to come here until the end of the campaign?

My point is there's absoultey zero reason to get rid of doughty now. What purpose does it serve?
And if you're comparing the players Harvey had signed to the ones Doughty has then yes absolutely, it was a joke and marginally better than Neil Young's scatter gun approach but at least he managed to bring in Miller and Hannigan amongst the rest of the complete rubbish that was signed.
and I'm saying that in comparison to what was served up before he came in. We're still completely sh*t of course.
