FULL TIME - An absolutely vital win - and one that wasn't really expected prior to kick off.
But Alty really laboured to claim the three points. A touch more composure was required in the final third because if they'd had that, it could have been three or four.
As it was, they never quite killed the game off and Forest Green even had a couple of chances to snatch a draw late on, as the Alty defence panicked.
But, ultimately, they have to be pleased with the three points today, nothing else really matters.
With Farsley and Weymouth both winning, it was absolutely essential they didn't lose any ground - and they haven't.
