He scored two good goal. He caused lots of trouble in there defence, I think he was our target man. I tink we should play him more.

Greg young did really well to as an attacking midfeilder.

it was against vauxhall

we should beat these kind of teams 4-2 at worst in the full 90 mins, no extra time

gradually became a better side later into the game

Joe played really well when he came on. Sean Densmore looked good as well, he played all match.

Subtle dig at GH? Joe was getting absolutely hammered on here at the end of last season. I bet if he had been playing this season you'd have been complaining about that too.

I am one of those who seriously have misgivings about whether Joe is good enough at BSP level for us.
Having said that, he should play because he clearly WANTS it enough and this will be a big asset for us as we are now.
I only wish everyone else 'wanted it' as much as he does.

I wouldn't get too excited if I were you.

Of the 16 goals that O'Neill has managed to score during his career with Alty to date, five of them have come in the Cheshire Senior Cup (31.25%).

We obviously need to save him for all CSC matches....and, possibly, the Northwich away league game?

To be honest I think O Neill should be last on the pecking order considering the other attacking options we have.

Just because he scored a brace against Vauxhall Motor's I don't think we should be saying how he should start all of a sudden!  :o

What would be more telling, is if we tally up how many goals the team scores when he's on the pitch compared to when he isn't. I tried to look at this last night but last seasons line-ups havent been added to the archive yet (as far as i can see).

Im not for starting Joe every game, but I do think he should be playing more.

With what Joe lacks in ability, he more than makes up with 110% of pure, hard work. Although it was only Vauxhall, he showed his passion and commitment to the cause, and his finishes, givin the time he had, were top quality

Ive said before on here, if Joe was to score a hat trick against every game he still wouldnt get any credit (dons tin hat)

He would if he did - but he won't, especially against BSP opposition

Given our position and the lacklustre attitude of the team i'd say that now was a good time to have someone on the pitch who gives it 110%, even if he's not the best player on the pitch. We need someone with a bit of an inspiring work rate.

Start joe and warren against lewes and at least battle to a victory.

Despite my reservations re his ability, I agree with you

As for why Senior hasn't been playing more - injury problems I believe.

As for O'Neil - at the moment it would seem that confidence and commitment are at a premium. Which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see Joe involved on Saturday. Also I remember the quote - we always seem to score when Joe is on the pitch. And I can see why, he makes a nuisance of himself in a Heskey sort of way.

Yes, he did against Crawley and was promptly sent off ! I had a very sore throat the next day after shouting my opinions at that tosser of a manager.

I personally think he should get a start Saturday

Maybe, maybe not but if hes left out we'll never know.

According to someone who came up with a few stats earlier in the thread, over 60% of his goals for us have some in the BSP. Currently it seems like he is one of the few that seem up for it. I know it was 'only' Vauxhall Motors apparently, but how many goals did Little and Denham score, having had the benefit of starting the match?

Here's a thought, Vauxhall lost their last match 4-0 and then drew at BSP Alty. Just maybe we can show a similar improvement in our next match.

I'm beginning to think there is some sort of bizarre genetic experiment going on here. Hugh logic at its finest.

Or an alternate view is that Vauxhall lost to a bsn team 4-0 and had a number of first teamers abscent through injury and we drew 2-2 with them

There is no logic to this at all!!!!!
