I have a feeling Twiss and Lawton aren't actually fit to play.

How are you doing on FM2010?

Fantastic. Just started a new game this week - first season played 36 and top by 9 points.
-
Lol quite a bit better than me:
1st season: survived by a point, but reached the trophy final
2nd season: finished 12th
3rd season: Joint bottom after 10 games :(
-
Sounds like an early chance for them
-
Wrexham 1 up against Kiddy
-
Wrexham 2 up at Kiddy.
-
I've got Liverpool as Alty's parent club, squad full of their wonderkids.
-
I have City, but they never seem to send any players over. I was offered a choice of City, Wigan or Blackburn
-
AltyAnt, just keep putting in offers to take their players on loan. Don't wait for them to send them.
-
Cheer mate will do. Have tried to get a few, but none have wanted to come. Time to be more aggressive!!

The new screen layout is not so good for those of us with aging eyes and no appeptite for laser treatment! However on HD is is clearer, not in HD the score flash section is too small! As usual no Stelling midweek...too busy doing Countdown!
Crawley 2 up
-
Crawley 2 up. FGR now level.

Fleetwood 2 up in the battle of the wallets.

From the match thread on the Southport Visiter website it sounds pretty dull I must say. Still I'll take 0-0 at this stage.
-
My mate at the game tells me we're getting battered.
Which means we'll nick a 1-0!! ;D
-
Reeves on for Denham
-
ssshhhhhhhh!
-
59 mins 'port"goal" disallowed for offisde
-
Slipped back to second bottom with Rushden scoring.
-
Another late goal sinks us. :-[
-
1 down 82 mins Gray.. blast it last few mins again!
-
Not too bothered by league position at this stage given who we have played. Need at least a point from this one though - come on lads, score the late goal this time!
edit = oh cr@p
-
Well its official we have hit the bottom, so at least the only way is up unless we do something in the next 6-7 mins!
-
ft1-0
-
:(
-
grumble moan Aussie FA injuries poo move on
Back on here for Saturday
-
Oh Dear :(
-
These late goals are absolutely killing us :-[ 1 point from 12 :-\ We've had some tough games to start but we need to get a win on the board soon......
-
Yeah isn't there some emergency registration thing that means Crowell will definitely be able to play on Saturday? York seem to be having a bit of a Play Off final hangover so lets hope it continues. To be honest though when you consider that we already had 10 points this time last season it's already looking like an uphill struggle. I shall be there though on Saturday, come on Alty.
-
Well this is a bleak moment. I hope all those people predicting a top ten finish and the like are feeling suitably foolish. Looking at the opening run of fixtures though and considering the loss of Senior and, in particular, Young, it's not all that surprising. Then again, failing to secure the win against Darlington is starting to look like a massive setback. The next two games don't look too pretty to me either, so I fear we may be down near the bottom for a while.
But it's clearly too soon for doom and gloom. I think a lot's going to depend on us having our usual good run of results in the autumn - and there are plenty of reasons to think we might: the midweek games will have finished for a while, the new players will have had time to gel, while other players should have got their fitness levels up to speed by then. Also, our fixtures in that period look easier on paper and, who knows, we may even have better luck with injuries (and the Australian FA).
So let's stay behind the lads and the management team. There are better days ahead.
-
come on alty show your fighting spirit botom of the league. not a good start graham can turn it around he always does next saturday we have to win. look at fleetwood winners again i think we are giving up michael twiss and some new faces please. i think the lose of senior and little still haunts alty but you have to grin and bear it and get on with it they have gone now we have fresh players.
-
Away att 138 standing 22 in the seats
-
A pretty dull game in which we were lucky enough to nick the spoils. I thought we were marginally the better side but neither created real goal scoring opportunities. A good bit of link up play between Gray and Daly was enough to separate us. A very encouraging first 4 games for us, outside the playoffs on goal difference and just 3 adrift of the top - yet it is not the best for yourselves.
Onwards and upwards as they say. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
-
Tonights performance was Utter Rubbish.
-
Only positive I can think of is its only by the odd goal so far we've not been spanked, we may only just survive by the skin of our teeth I fear

Dave you didn't see your player blaze over from 10 yards in the first half then ? That was most definatly a goal scoring oppurtunity. :)
-
tonight was pants
-
I did say 'opportunities' ;)
Not really a game that will live long in the memory, the only real positive for us is that's 2 clean sheets in a row. Before the season started i thought us 2 would be scrapping around the drop zone and it still could end up that way. We're getting good results but it can't continue forever, and you are bound to get a win on the board sooner or later.

Your lot came out firing and made some good movement around the front of the box, Alty being Alty I was surprised you didn't take a 1-0 lead into the break. 0-0 was probably about right considering how crap it was, maybe you shaded it and deserved the 1-0
-
Right you load of sodding pesssimists ! How do you expect us to produce any sort of football when the midfield is lacking Densmore, Crowell, Danylyk, and Lawton ? Or even Kearney ? We were forced to field a side tonight that was engineless and rudderless. Then we lose Denham at half time.
There were real stars out there tonight. Smith and Williams were superb. Holmes, and in the second half Reeves, weren't far behind. I don't accept that our defeat was in any way down to lack of attitude or effort - there wasn't one player out there I would fault on either score.
Quite simply, we were a patchwork side, with players forced to fill positions they weren't designed for.
The sun WILL shine on this club before too long. And we ARE NOT IN RELEGATION TROUBLE !
We may well still be bottom going into September - but I firmly believe we'll be out of the bottom four by New Year. BELIEVE ! ! !
-
Tonight was poor. They were poor and we were poorer. I think it was a case of just too many enforced changes meaning we didnt seem to have any shape at all.
Too many players were off their game, injuries or not. I don't want to get into names as it doesnt helpe but a few people did not do themselves justice.
Ironic that they should score after we had got into the game a little..we could have been 3-0 down at half time.
Postive for me was the running of Reeves and the fact we only lost by 1-0..no one has battered us but a lot of work to do.
We must stick together at this difficult times like we all enjoyed the good runs of last season.
Although make no mistake..tonight was crap.

Nothing else was required Ecky I'm afraid, your quote sums up my thoughts exactly >:(
-

1.histon
2.barrow
3. forest green
4. altrincham
5. southport----------relegated
6. tamworth
7. bath city
8. gateshead
anyone else have any different ideas.just put them on

I honestly don't think we will have any trouble staying up this season. Our first 3 performances were a breath of fresh air and tonight was our first poor performance of the season and we still came away with 3 points.
4 for the drop (in no particular order) :
Gateshead
Barrow
Kettering
Bath
Yourselves could be in for a bit of a battle but it's unfair to make assumptions given the length of your injury list at present.
-
Not a particularly great performance but we were missing the majority of our midfield. A lot of effort but nothing to show for it. There are still enough positive signs to indicate that we'll be climbing up the table soon enough.
-
McCready put himself about a little bit when he came on, not bad for an 18 year old.
The performance just seemed to lack belief and heart somewhat. We are better than this and the players must remember this, even if it gets worse before it gets better (which it might). I'm just a little worried that Senior, Little and Young took a lot more class, heart and character out of the dressing room than we first thought.
Still, Densmore, Danylyk, Lawton, Crowell, Twiss, Doughty and maybe Kearney to come back might make the difference.
-
It was a long drive back to Saughall Towers last night but when our best eleven is able to take the pitch we will be a different side. You can't expect to win a game (especially away from home) with a back and front but no middle.
Can't make York but am expecting better against Mansfield (hope I'm not being too optimistic!)
On the whole right now I think I'd rather be watching Alty in the 60's than watching them in my 60's ;) :D
-
Well considering that we had virtually all our midfield out due to injury and administrative ineptitude, (see Aussie FA) I admit we were not at our best last night but to lose by just one goal (and that being a deflection) was not the end of the world.
We got there in just two hours from showery Shrewsbury so we were glad it wasnt pissing down, especially as we were on the open terraces. The Southport fans seemed a friendly lot in the bar but the ground is second only to FGR and the moon for atmosphere
I think the bloke who was working the snack bar must have been rolling the fkn pastry for the pies at half time, the time he took to serve us..(I'm sure I had a birthday in the queue) There are flood victims in Pakistan who must have got food and drink quicker than the Alty faithful...
As for the game we were disjointed and seemed to lack any fluency which wasnt helped by a stiff wind..
I agree with Taxi Phil in that we are not a bottom 4 side and I would be a lot more worried if I was a Southport fan than an Alty fan..
Yes,, I would have looked at the fixtures and fancied 3 points last night but considering the injury situation I still believe we have the where with all do all right once we get going...
4 Games down chaps .. 1 point .. However it is not doom and gloom.. The potential is there ..
Keep the faith
Cmon Alty.....
-
Not a great night, but given the injuries we've had we were lucky not to get a pasting. I think 0-0 would have been a fair result, and the performances of Reevesy, Holmes and Denham first half were encouraging.
Agree with Ecky, there were a number of players who did not perform to the best of their ability, but no point naming names. We need to draw a line under last night and this poor start to the season and regroup for the weekend.
Positivity is the key here... hoping for much better on Saturday/Monday.
-
0-0 in my opinion would not have been a fair result.
In my book they deserved to win.
Some real good performances, but without naming names there were a couple of shockers as well.
-
One of the poorest performances for a long time - Not worried as the season has just started and as has been repeated many times most of midfield were missing. Looking forward to travelling to York at the weekend
-
At least the Vics won to make the blow of going bottom softer.
Hopefully see you soon bit a long way to go yet. Just finish above FGR.

Do they publish results for the league you're in?
