Good lineup but I think I'd have to start Sutton against Sutton!
-
same but sutton for malarkey, just fitness wise
-
Agree with above team selection, game must be in doubt with the cold weather due in next few days. Pitch will be frozen...

Hopefully will be OK - no wet weather due, and above freezing from late morning. Common sense will hopefully prevail in putting covers where the shade would remain during this period, which I'm guessing is in front of the main stand? Another issue is with Sutton travelling from so far, so an early call will need to be made.
By Saturday, they won't have played a league game in over a month! - hopefully they'll be rusty.

Alty 1-0 Sutton (Hancock)
It really is a strong looking line-up!
I would start Sutton, like others on this thread. Sutton are a very strong side, I prefer Toby for the games where we will be on the front foot more for his ability to progress with the ball and even link up in attack.
I'm on Radio Robins, I look forward to the confusion caused by the matching names.
-
Well I'd start Toby because we damn well SHOULD be on the front foot at home against teams in this league. We started on the back foot against Solihull Moors and look where THAT got us !
-
Snowing now and more forecast for Friday. Unless the covers do all of the pitch, not much chance the game will be on
-
This is going to be a very tough game but it's a good opportunity for us to make a real statement. Interested to see how we get on but I'd take a point without a doubt, should the game be on.
-
Game switched to Sutton
-
Very sensible decision.
-
Game switched to Sutton
Wonder if we'll stay over Friday night.

The team might - we won't alas ☹️
-
Artificial pitch so game should be safely on. With Sutton riding high it'll be a costly exercise if they go up.
-
With the possibility of Richie Sutton taking to the field against Sutton United when was the last time we had a player play against a team with the same name?
-
There may be a more recent one but the only name that springs to mind is Graham Barrow.
-
If we were to bring Bob Havant-Waterlooville in on loan before next weeks trophy game...
A possible candidate would be Steve Buxton, who played for us in the late 80's but we only played Buxton once, in 88-9 at that time and I am not sure he was still with us.
We didnt play Chester when Colin Chesters was at the club, nor Poland when Lee Poland was here!
A nice question for a Friday morning
-
Could we go international and re-sign Paul France
-
Sadly Chris Lane had left when we played Shaw Lane ; )
-
My day job is analysing the Scottish Prem and part of the in house style is referring to players by last name only. The amount of confusion this generates around Hamilton centre back Jamie Hamilton doesn't bear thinking about. I have to be careful to make sure my notes don't say things like "Hamilton defended well with Hamilton a highlight."
-
Stream details are on our club website now.

Good job you never had a player called East scoring five goals against Forfar.
-
Colin Alty played for Skem United in the mid 70s - I guess there's a good chance he lined up against us?
-
I think Gianluca Havant-Waterlooville would have been a better answer from me earlier!
-
Pity we never played Met Police when Shaun Constable was on the books.
Remember years ago watching AFC Wimbledon play Met Police. Two coppers walking around the pitch perimeter were treated to a rousing chorus of "Is that all you take away"
-
Here is a pre-match interview with Sutton United manager Matt Gray. Unfortunately, the interviewer thinks that we have never played them before. Gray replies with a chuckle that he thinks the clubs probably have met, whereupon the interviewer says that it must have been before his lifetime. Hmm, he looks a bit old for a teenager, and hasn't done much research, nor read the preview elsewhere on the website.
Gray is pretty complimentary about us, and evidently knows what he is doing with his team's performances.

By the way, when I went to Met Police, one of their small band of supporters harangued the referee when one of their players got booked. "What was that for, ref? Did you get a speeding ticket or something"
-
Yesterday there were a record 1325 Covid deaths. London hospitals at breaking point. So, guess where we are going? Not at all sure on this one!!!!! SBL

You can't drive five miles for a walk round a reservoir with one friend, but you can travel 200 miles to play footy with twenty one others, plus subs, management and officials.
Right. Glad that's clear.
-
No, "you" can't drive 200 miles for a football match but the players can. They are athletes going to compete in elite sport and are treated as such.
Get a grip lads, it's not like they are travelling to London for a night out.

Have a look at the list of elite sport games off due to covid. The virus doesn't discriminate. We're told to act as if we have it, but that doesn't apply to some. It's mad.
-
Okay that's fair, I agree that the rules and the constant changing and inconsistency of them is mad.
Would you really have the game not go ahead though, bearing in mind that elite sport is allowed to continue? I know that you haven't said this by the way, so not trying to put words in your mouth.

I am starting to agree with Steve Bruce, it jars badly with what the nation is trying to achieve. Meh, I'm just hacked off with it all now!!

It's such a polarising topic. For me, football in general is a positive in a very dire situation. Without getting into detail, I still go to work all week and watching the Alty livestreams gives me something to look forward too away from what is happening.
Perhaps this is selfish, I'm not sure. I think people need football as a bit of normality during what has been an awful year.

All true and valid points. The season is already all over the shop in terms of timing. Having sport join what is meant to be a virus suppressant for a month is reasonable and proportionate I think.

A month ? Three months at least I'm guessing ! I see no problem if elite sport continues, as long as all the protocols are rigorously adhered to. Solskjaer's views on the effects on fans' mental health of stopping play resonate very much with me.

Confirmed Alty Team News...
TT
Senior
Mullarkey
Sutton
Connor
Moult
Smith
Kosylo
Hancock
Colclough
Ceesay
Subs: White, Hannigan, Richman, Mooney, Byron Harrison
Would take a draw, but always feel we can beat anyone on our day... playing well & on good run of form... head says score draw, heart says away win...
Hence going to predict 2-1 Alty win (Sutton, Kosylo)...
COYR! :)
-
Excellent point. Lovely.
-
Fully deserved that draw, particularly after taking the game to Sutton United after the interval.
We dominated that second half and created all the chances, including a couple of close-range opportunities for Jake Moult; a one-on-one with the goalkeeper with Ryan Colclough and a thumping shot from Alistair (alias 'Anthony', according to the commentator) Smith, which looked destined for the top corner until a Sutton defender contrived to provide a crucial block.
Mind you, the Sutton United TV commentator declared that: "Altrincham have stolen a point". He was enthusiastic enough but ultimately turned out to be a rather amateurish, prattling buffoon, I'm afraid.
Ceesay and Hancock were never really at the races. Harrison didn't really have a sniff when he came on.
I thought that Connor Hampson had a poor first half and was possibly at fault for their first goal but, my hat, how he atoned with that glorious 94th-minute thunderbolt!
Straight out of the Clive Freeman textbook.
Incidentally, just how many 'volunteers' did Sutton United have inside that stadium?
Oh, and I never want to see an artificial pitch installed at the J Davidson Stadium.
-
Blimey, what a goal from Connor, upset the neighbours by cheering when that flew in.
Least we deserved though as we dominated the second half (credit to their keeper, Boozanus, who was kept busy throughout).
Thought Sutton United were better first half but we stepped up a level after HT. Very encouraging stuff to go with the performances versus Stockport, teams at or near the top.
Thought Smithy was superb in midfield. We've got loads of threats going forward, just need someone to put them away. Looked like we'd run out of time and then Connor let rip into the top corner...superb stuff!
-
very enjoyable game, thought we played well especially in second half, in fact would of been gutted if we had got nothing from that performance. thankyou conner for that screamer, much deserved
-
Should have won end of. Smith MOM. Thought Harrison looked ok. Worse 3G pitch I've seen since BTH
-
Thoroughly deserved at least a point. As mentioned above we had so much of the ball in the second half without being able to convert until right at the end. The team spirit really is fantastic. I was quite bemused by Clive Dunn sat somewhere near the microphone moaning his way through the game.

Get in! Thoroughly deserved late equaliser...
Connor... what a strike... happy dayz!!! :)

-
Thoroughly deserved point for that second half performance, once again showing that our fitness levels as a part time side and the spirit to come back like that. Even the awful commentator who said that we stole a point had to admit that it was a possible goal of the season.
"Anthony," better known as Alistair, Smith was my man of the match and, I thought that, while Byron Harrison didn't have any chances at goal, he looked very useful and held up the ball well.
-
I thought the commentator was probably the gardening pundit because the sports department was closed. He became demented and incompressible during the second half like he'd been hammering the hip flask. It was cold. I hadn't the foggiest what he was going on about other than our goal being unjust. Mute button solved the problem. Radio Robins wasn't in sync unfortunately.

wouldn’t ever want a pitch like Sutton’s. Perhaps one day they’ll get it right and they’ll be allowed at all levels.
-

That was a big difference today. Too many games we've give the opposition keeper little to do.

-
Another excellent result against a top team. The lads and management have took to this league like a duck to water. Credit to one and all..
That goal by Connor was worthy of the cost of the Stream alone.
Onwards and Upwards.
-
I wasn't brave enough to watch the stream, as I thought we'd lose. Each time that happens, we get a result!
I listened on Radio Robins instead and 2nd half we sounded superb.
Can we nick a play off place? It's not beyond the bounds of possibility.
-
Brilliant...they never give up.
Glad government seeing sense and allowing elite sport to continue with protocols. Just need to sort ongoing funding now
-
Simply outstanding in the second half. The potential of this team is enormous - let's hope Harrison is at least a decent solution to the one gaping hole in an otherwise complete-looking team. He showed promise today.
Hampson's goal will stay with me for the rest of my life. To score a crucial goal with the last kick of the game is great. To score a goal like that is great. For it to be both makes it very special.
-
This team and management should be mega proud. They keep fighting until the end.
I scared my heavily pregnant mrs and the dog with my celebrations. To make it even sweeter, I won £90 by predicting 2-2.
Alty games are what I really look forward to each week.
-
When was the last time we got a result with the last kick/header of the game?
(Anyone who can't come up with at least one possible answer should be ashamed of themselves)

First up Warrington Town. Poole 90+2

For a real last-gasp goal, my mind goes back for some reason to a Paul France header which got us a 1-0 win at home to... Yeovil? Early 90s.

Hanks against Blyth in the playoffs to take us into ET.

Was that maybe late 93-94 when Kingy came back to save us from relegation. I recall watching it from the pop side, led to a mini pitch invasion IIRC. Paul France could really head a ball.

Saturday, 13th March 1994
Alty 1 Yeovil Town 0.
The permtastic Darren Heesom takes a free kick from in front of where the Family Stand is now located and curls it over to the far post where the onrushing Paul France times his run perfectly and promptly heads the ball into the net. Cue: joyous scenes.
One of my personal favourite last-gasp winning goals came courtesy of Jeff Johnson at the Golf Road End in that pulsating 4-3 FA Cup First Round victory over Southport at Moss Lane on Saturday, 25th November 1978. Made all the more euphoric by the fact that Southport had levelled the tie at 3-3 merely a minute or two earlier.
It ultimately paved the way for our inaugural visit to glamorous White Hart Lane (via exotic Droylsden).
-
This one was pretty close to the final whistle, if not actually last kick. Quite pleasing.
https://youtu.be/2HxkmpJVXlk?t=415

A great performance and just like vs stockport these are a fancied team for the title. The team really looks to be coming together at the moment and as others have said Alistair smith has a key role, I really like our 3 CB and i think they are interchangeable in terms of quality. Also like the mooney, colclough, kosylo, ceesay hancock options. The pitch was dreadful and we looks like we got to grips with it in the 2nd half, the ball just kept running and running and there wasnt the same grass resitance to slow it down.
To go back to the earlier points on this thread, i'm delighted that there is still football, we need in these dark times moments in the week to look forward to

Wonder what they're all up to?

Wasn't it Paul France who scored a late, late equaliser away at Colwyn Bay in the FA Trophy to earn a replay in about 1995/96? I think it finished 3-3 and Andy Reid was also sent off for headbutting one of their players?
-
I think I have the picture taken of the goal celebration with Richard Harris and a couple of others running after Franny after he had scored the goal against Yeovil Town. It is also in the book Kingdom come. It is a great photo and shows the joy on all the players faces.

Yes, I was at that game. I think we went 2-0 up and took our foot off the pedal, let them get back into it and then fell behind. Showed a bit of urgency last 10 but looked like it would not be our day. Then Franny scored the last-gasp header, we all went spare and a few people jumped over the hoardings.
-
Just had a quick look at the Sutton forum and I must say that I found it to be one of the most fair minded opposition forums I've seen in a long time.
Not exactly a busy site but certainly a fair one
-
Another last kick of the game goal -Jake at Kings Lynn!
-
And another - Matt Doughty's penalty at the end of the 3-2 win at home to Gateshead, ten years or so ago.
-
Sam Heathcote, the unexpected scorer of the winning goal after 90 (+5) minutes (merely two minutes after coming on as a substitute) in a 2-1 home victory over Cheltenham Town on Saturday, 5th September 2015.
-
Didn't we score 2 injury time goals to convert 0-1 to 2-1, away at Telford in around 1993? Pretty sure Mick Carmody scored one of them.
-
Brief highlights are on the main site now.

Are you thinking of the 2-1 triumph at Southport in the incessant rain on Tuesday, 5th September 1995?
The home team had led 1-0 until a late own goal was swiftly followed by an unlikely Mick Carmody 25-yard piledriver, which flew in off the underside of the crossbar to give us our opening victory of the first post-Maunders season.

Thanks, that's the one. I was 50/50 on it being Telford or Southport but of course made the wrong choice.
-
How late was Jeff Johnson's famous winner in the FA Cup against Southport at Moss Lane back in the day?
-
Not as late as you would think - injury time maxed out at around three minutes in those days. If I could dig the programme out I could give it you to the second. But I am resisting the temptation for now!
