No one should have a go at Logan for his mistake, we all make mistakes. We were unlucky today, things are just not going our way.

We should have started with the team we ended with. That mistake could easily be down to the player not being warmed up enough or trying to adapt to game when coming on with only 20 mins left. Apart from the mistake, which did cost us Logan tracked back well and did a some good runs, always taking two players out of the game. We need to start him every game, if it doesn't work then sub him then, we can not carry on saying 'oh we've played well but we have lost again ' we need changes.

O'Neil is crap, he offers nothing to a game. He doesn't even track back well. Sedgemore needs a rocket up his a**, Whalley came on and showed his class. Whilst Val is out lets start with the team that ended that game. Robbie Lawton was class in centre mid today and his confidence is growing when he plays in his favoured position. Peyton does well tracking back but hasn't played too well recently.

Again it was chances missed, Colin had two golden chances which he should have scored but his actual play was good.Also their keeper was jammy on the line twice. Colin and Senior are s*it hot when the ball is on the floor. Our main concern is goals, the amount of quality crosses that are flying in the box but no one is there or Col and Senior are too small, but they are by far the best two with have at the moment.

Lets start Logan and Whalley from the start for a few games and I am sure we will score the goals. Warren can never take people on and O'Neil is just lost on the pitch we need at least one quality winger, said this all season. I was gutted about Logan's mistake but I think he feels he has to try really hard when he comes on and when a player is not warmed up completely you may get the odd mistake, but he was still dangerous and can create opportunities.

I would like to think we could get something from Torquay but I can not see it. So after that game get the likes of Logan, Whalley, Val playing every week and get Sedgmore, O'Neil and maybe Peyton out who are just not performing !!! We need changes

What I normally do on the forum is not read any postings before putting one on myself. After a game I sometimes need to come on here and speak straight from the heart and state my case. I am bloody hammered tonight after watching the game on TV.

First of all I have so much respect for the guys and women who travelled tonight, so bloody proud of you all, i honestly mean that.

Second the post match interview with Graham on TV was a honest and just plain brilliant interview.

THE LADS WERE GOOD TONIGHT. I ain't going over the top and saying they were amazing but I was proud.

I have always said stop giving full time teams respect. Stevenage are going for promotion and unless I had more drink than I thought I did, we matched them and certainly had more chances. OK, this is a forum and people agree and disagree and at the end of the day that is what a forum is all about. If we'd all agree then that would be because we were top of the league.

I come on here and have negative thoughts most of the time, I am guilty of that, but thats because I have watched us now for 18/19 years, maybe longer and I need to say my piece like everyone else.

Anyway back to the game, I have said all season' lets stop showing teams respect' and it showed why tonight, we do not have to show many teams in this league respect.

They had Dobson on the right who was the ONLY threat to us, Scotty had a terrible game, but I will never slag that man off because he is normally Mr Consistent, even out of posistion, which he is. To me Dobson is a player identical to Logan but on the opposite wing. And at the end of the day he has won it for them with Scotty making mistakes and also Coburn not positioning himself well. Both goals were mistakes but I said before each goal that it would be that guy who would cause the trouble and he did.

My argument is we can play against 90% of the teams so lets have our own player like Dobson and I believe everyone knows that player is Logan. I read people say Logan can only last 20 mins, well do those people who say that play football because I play every week, at least two times and if you come on with 15-20mins left you are always gasping for air and trying to get in the game which is so hard. You all know I am not a fan of Joe O'Neil but tonight he had some good touches but that was because there defence stood off at every attack, you could see that by how much room Senior was given. I've always said that Senior and Little are the front two for Alty and tonight proved they are. Down point again is Sedgmore, he is lost, slow and has no stamina. One thing I have seen with Alty in my years is heart and I do not believe Sedgemore has an Alty heart. We have missed VAL and I believe no one can disagree with that. Whilst Val is out I hope Whalley can get fit because his talent/passing will spilt defences for Senior but we need to give him a few weeks to get match fit.

We all watch and support Alty, and we are part time. I will be trully honest here and the thing that bugs me is when people say a quality player shouldn't start because he ain't fit enough. Examples Thornley is a great finisher and if he played the games last year he would have scored more than Joe, Logan is sheer class, now and again he will run it too far and get tackled, but he will ALWAYS take two and sometimes three defenders out of the play, Pottsy -  best crosser of the ball that I have honestly seen since Showler, it honestly could be two crosses and two goals from his balls. Yeah but people are thinking these players can not get back and defend, I might agree slightly but at the end of the day we are part time and we do not train everyday so these talented players need to play WEEK IN and WEEK out not 20 mins blowing their guts out for the LOST cause.

We have not played as good as last year and the players have said that during interview, yet we still match 90% of the teams. All i am trying to say lets go out attacking teams, with the likes of Logan on the wing, Senoir and Little upfront and get a lead of a goal or two ( BECAUSE WE BLOODY CAN ) and then let them think of what to do in the last 20mins. Instead we wait until we gone down ( even when we should be winner ) and then try and go for the game against full time players when we are out of steam.

I love this club with all my heart and my only regret in life is not sticking at footy and playing for the club. All I can say is if anyone disagrees wity my comments you must be more drunk than me and beyond reasonable conversation. The other point is I hope Graham reads this post.

Good night and lets get behind the lads on Saturday

Is that your starting 11, if so we'd been down like a lead ballon. Aspinal can not defend, where's Shotton ? our class centre half ? Where's Lane? quality right back. ONeil in midfield? he is not a midfielder or striker. McFadden is well out of his depth, need to play Colin in a few games and his confidence will come back, still our leading goal scoring, strikers need confidence and Colin's will come back !!!!


If team was fit

1) Coburn

RB Lane
LB Scotty
CB Tinson \ Munroe
CB Shotton

LW Peyton
RW Logan ( could cut inside on the right wing and attack defenders ) \ Pottsy
CM Val Owen
CM Whalley \ Lawton

CF Little \ Dean
CF Senior

I am praying for Val and Little to be fit. We will need Val more than anyone to break up there attacks and we need Little so that we don't have to start with Joe. Also I hope we play Logan, because I think he could destroy them. I hope Graham doesn't give them too much respect and start with five midfielders or something stupid like Joe on the wing. Lets bloody attack them !!!!! attack attack attack

Again we waited until we were losing until we brought on a winger. Today we again had a centre mid on one wing and a forward on the other. Also can we please have someone on the keeper on set pieces because surely thats a basic tatic. Shotten was 2 foot taller than the keeper, should have stuck him on the keeper. If we started more attacking against them we would have won, sorry but Pat is not good enough for the conference, Logan is better than the conference. I keep going home baffled !!!One good thing Senior started again instead of O'Neil. Sorry not much good to say about today, terrible. Shotten played excellent, great defender !!!

Drop Joe O'Neil, play Little and Senior up front, wth Logan on the wing and you will see the difference. By hell Joe O'Neil has had his chance, think i would have scored more than him. Did not make it on Tuesday but I have been told that we played with Joe up front on his own, jesus not in a million of years were we going to score goals. Please Graham give Senior and Little a chance, they are small but we shi*e at pupping long balls in the air anyway, so lets get it on the ground and play footy. Also Lawton you've had your chance, get Pottys playing. Have faith in our attacking players !!!!

I thought we played really well today. Attacking football was a joy to watch. The lads gave there all, we still need a centre back, can we not get Bandy back. Aspinal is crap, Peyton has been playing well further up the field but I think we need him at left back to tighten our leaking defence up. Logan is quality, so good to see a proper winger playing on the wing insted of a centre mid.Don't really need to say much about Pottsy, again just quality, best passer at the club. He crosses were unbelievable. Senior was a constant threat and there defence could not cope with him. Not really buzzing off Sedgemore, what does he actually do? he is good at free kicks but apart from that doesn't ever touch the ball. I have always said Alty play better attacking, would loveto see Logan, Pottsy and Senior all start a game. Yeah we still lost but I think thats just down to our defence. Munroe and Lane are good enough but not sure about Tinson. That was certainly our best game this season and we were just unlucky, another day we might have got 4 or 5.

Grays did not even look a good team, yet again we start with a defensive team and YET again we wait until it is too late to change the team. Joe ONeil is a waste of bloody time,he gets bullied every week, lets start with Senior or Thornley, they are by far better players than Joe and they would gurantee more goals. Joe does not even make clever runs, painful to watch him. Also lets play Pottsy, can not remember when Lawton last played well, think it was Northwich at home. No excuse we were crap and should have attacked that very poor Gray's defence. Graham please gamble with an attacking team, especially at home otherwise we have no chance. We have to beat teams at home and we play and defend a lot better playing attacking football. Well played Lane ( quality defender ), Peyton and Acton today.

Team at home
