Altrincham FC First Team / Re. the new development at the Chequers End....
« on: August 02, 2007, 04:16:19 PM »
We should pester Trafford Council to name this new road in honour of an Altrincham FC legend.
So, how about:
Jackie Swindells Close;
Clive Freeman Drive;
Ian Tunnacliffe Towers;
Barry Howard Avenue;
Ged Kielty Square;
Andy Scott Gardens;
Dennis Birch Crescent?
Any other nominations?

That's such a tenious link!! Yates wasn't at Crewe when he had a 'trial' with us, he was at Leek, also he doesn't live in Crewe either afaik so hardly the last player we had on trila from Crewe, although funnily enough I think that player might be James Robinson who is possibly a better example.
Cavell Coo, some good points but a lot of weaknessess, the type of player who i would be happy with in ConfNorth but in the BSP it's a tough bloody league, similar to the standard of the Tranmere side last night and we can't afford to carry any passengers, not for one single game really.
That said he's looked a bit better at left back than he has elsewhere, maybe some just feel like I do, a bit irritated that a full year or so after Chrissy left we don't have a left back and are playing 2 right sided players there with predictable results. I'm now a bit worried about Warren Peyton, he needs to play. If Gary Scott is fit enough for the opening day I will be happy to start of with him lb and Peyton lw (as long as Potts is on the rw) but remember by mid September, the full time teams in this league who scoout and watch our games had this side of us well and truly sewn up.
And yes, I do know that GH has been chasing after and looking for left backs in a similar manner to someone using a dating agency!
Ballers,
Superb post.
You are absolutely correct.

well then mr cult if you know the name of a left back who is left footed, will cost nuffing to bring to the club, will play part time football and for little wages. then by all means call the club and tell them of this player if not trust in the fact that GH knows more about the abilitys of his squad and the players he signs than you. and cavell carnt be that bad a player if dario gradi had him at crewe. now i personally have seen every pre season game from old gregorians to tranmere last night and my opinion is that cavell coo is a good player who maybe with some work with graham and dalton could become a solid player for us, the last player we had on trial from crewe is going to play in the football league this year. we couldn't get him due to our lack of money so lets see how this young man does
Believe me, if I did know the name of a suitable left full back, I would have volunteered it to someone at the club by now!
Alas, having a non-football related job and not being employed as a football scout means that I am unable to attend various football matches in the North West and analyse potential players.
Besides, I thought that we employed a manager and assistant to do that?!
You rate Cavell Coo.
I don't.
That's all.

« on: July 31, 2007, 04:41:56 PM »Cavell Coo has been relentlessly slagged off on here from the word go. From what I've been told by people who have seen most of the friendlies, he is actually not as bad as some people on here would have you believe. I think the crucial thing to remember is that he has been playing on the left all summer and for a right-footed player this is never exactly going to bring the best out of you.
I'm not in a position to speak from first hand experience as I've not seen the lad play, but some people on here are just a little bit quick to start slagging players off sometimes. Karl Munroe anybody?
Just a thought.....
I was talking to a very well-informed scout from Tranmere at last night's game and he confirmed that Cavell Coo had always played at left back or on the left side of midfield when he had watched him play for Crewe.
All a bit perplexing really, as he so obviously favours his right foot.

« on: July 31, 2007, 04:37:55 PM »Perhaps Coo is the best of what is available, would you prefer we signed nobody and went into the season with 15 men?
No, I'd prefer that we signed a better standard of player rather than just someone who will make up the numbers.

« on: July 31, 2007, 04:35:43 PM »Although there are many things I wouldn't wnat Asa to do, play left back for example, taking penalties isn't one of them. His record is absolutely exceptional. Since he's been here I can only recall 1 miss v St. Albans in about 5 years. Are you sure you're thinking of the right player?
Ballers,
How could you forget Aspinall's penalty miss on a foggy Saturday in Southport last season?!

I'm sorry....but Cavell Coo is simply not up to the required standard.
So easily knocked off the ball.
As Ballers has commented, tonight's performance was a replica of so many games from last season.
We lacked creativity and any threat down the wings and made very few chances.

Do we run a pre-match sweepstake to see who is going to play at left full back?

Having seen the three home friendlies to date, my honest assessment would be that only Chris Baguley looks to have any real potential.

« on: July 25, 2007, 04:49:02 PM »Why is it the same price for a STAR member and a non-member? I thought there was a discount for STAR members? About the only benefit members get from their membership
But never mind, it is still a far more co-operative and useful organisation than it used to be at one time with certain people running the show!
Can't help but think that you are a little out of order with that last comment.
You may dislike certain individuals who represented STAR but they gave up a lot of their time to raise funds for Altrincham FC.
Have you forgotten the successful Birmingham 20 event already?
Besides, as we are still awaiting Part II of the STAR AGM...I'm not quite sure who is elected to be "running the show" these days!

Had to smile at that spokesman for Wigan Athletic rattling on about how they were refused entry to the Football League despite winning their league every season.
When they were admitted to the old Fourth Division in 1978, Wigan were runners-up to Boston United (who, incidentally, also won the Northern Premier League in 1976/77...!).

« on: July 22, 2007, 12:36:04 AM »Agree with you that Warren struggled today. But hey Cult, you forgot to mention our left winger, who ran their full back a merry dance.
I don't have a problem with Chris Senior as a left winger, as he gives us some much-needed pace down the flank.
It's just that I don't regard him as a central striker and still believe that we need another option in that department.
That was a very attacking formation that we began with against Rotherham.....and I doubt that we'd start any away games with both Potts and Senior out on the wings!
Just wish that we could unearth a proper left back in order to free up Peyton for potential midfield duties.

One of those games that entertain the spectators but probably drive the respective managers to despair.
Highlights were a nice (dare I say it) Heathcote-esque free kick from Sedgemore and an exquisite finish by Colin Little for the fifth goal.
Would I be correct in thinking that most of the Rotherham goals came via attacks down their right wing?
Has anyone on here mentioned that Alty could do with a left full back by any chance....?
