Mostly we get commentators biased againsy the little part time team from the north of England - Ithink maybe the Blyth commentators may be more sympathetic.

Bear in mind this side is realistically 8 places lower than us and playing at home in very windy conditions. It's as though they are miles below us in the pyramid. They too have a good cup pedigree you ask any Stoke City fan about the FA Cup.

Densmore     Williams    Joseph     Brown

Lawton     Danylyk     Hewson     Baynes

Bear in mind this side is realistically 8 places lower than us and playing at home in very windy conditions. It's as though they are miles below us in the pyramid. They too have a good cup pedigree you ask any Stoke City fan about the FA Cup.

Agreed

Shame for poor Stu on his 500th. Alas, our subs were poor, revealing our lack of depth and it's such a pity that Matty Somner left - he was so important for us, Robbie Lawton despite his efforts is just not up to the standard.

At least York and Kiddy have scored.

we knew it would be a tough game....doesn't sound to me like the players did...neither do i get any sense from cup games that the majority of the players understand the importance of The FA Trophy and the FA Cup to the club or to the fans.

Well done to all who travelled you came through loud and clear.

And well done Blyth, sounds like they deserved it but more importantly, sounds like they wanted it more.

Slight praise for Ken for changing it round...shame we didn't go all out to batter them for the first 20 minutes and gone 3-0 up.

Beats me how we can go to Mansfield and Rushden and win deservedly and then go and lose in a trophy game to go through to the last 16 where anything can happen.....I just get a sense that the majority of our players are focussed on conference survival and treat the cups a lot less seriously.

I'm sick of it and feel very let down by the team time after time in the cup whereas they make me so proud in the league sometimes....as someone said same old same old.

Think I'd have felt just as let down had we got a last minute equaliser....certainly would have felt embarassed that we'd got another underserved chance.

Williams wasn't an error. It was a long ball, the 2nd man missed it leaving him one on one with Brayson, he went for the ball and missed. He had no choice.

Twiss wasn't a sitter either, keeper did well.

As much as we love JL don't make all opinions on his one-liners. IMHO anyway.

Right! What do Alty need? An experienced deep-lying midfielder, someone to pick out a pass and see what is happening in front. Our midfield is just too 'workmanlike' and there's no craft.

I think that would do it for us, the rest isn't that bad.

Who? No idea I'm not a scout. Tony Grant maybe? Someone like him, local, experienced etc. Sure the more knowledgeable will know better than I who could do that job.

Admittedly I wasnt there and you obviously were so your comments on this particular game are worth more than mine but I was going off what the commentators said and not JL.

Anyway, i still stand by what I said based on what I have witnessed first hand.

It's a Forum and we're here to disagree and if you think that they're up to the job then that's your opinion and I respect it.

No problem just saying how I saw it.  I see so little of alty but I don't think Robbie is as bad as is made out.

Our defense is ok - Smudger & Robbie are about as good as we can get I'd imagine at our wage level, it's that midfield role I see missing.

Shame Twiss is on a contract - so poor - and Hewson plays like he's never experienced any level of pro football, never mind Utd Reserves.

Love it when so called supporters post on here and tell us all how crap they think players are, when they haven't even been to the game!  It's all subjective and everyone has their favorite players  :o

Williams score one of the goals that got us into this round...Well we should have been out of the Cup but for a powercut that saved our skins!
He also got us out of the sh*t against Rushden at home in the 89th Minute..Oh he was a hero then wasn't he :P

Think some of you need a reality check sometimes!

Rant Over!

Fair point but having watched Alty for 27 years I know the standard of player needed to compete at this level.

So do most of us Stan, but that type of player is generally beyond our budget.

I share your gallows humour but I seriously reckon Eastbourne at home far more winnable than an away cup tie at Blythe.

I hope I am right.

Hear, hear. Unbeaten in the league in 2011

Yes, so what's gone wrong today after 2 great away wins?
A sense of fight?, we've obviously needed points so were up to fight for it - perhaps a slight cockyness about it? - I think its back to our best on tuesday

Why is Joseph hitting free kick when Wes Baynes (renowned for free kick specilism is on the pitch?)

A very good point!

What on earth are we still doing with Holsgrove in our squad?
/quote]

No money No choice  :'(

pretty sure he's not playing for free, rather have them wages on someone else

I think that it's safe to assume that, as Kevin Holsgrove is still here, he is on a contract.

Don't be too hard on yourselves, we were good today - as good as we were against Fleetwood. All the best for the rest of the season, hope you avoid relegation.

After the last 3 games, it was like watching a different team, today was the first time in quite a while ive gone to an away game confident of not losing ( not due to you, but due to our great performance), Im sure others felt the same. I think thats part of the such annoyance, the contrast is unreal.

Same to you Scode :)

Good luck mate - there's a lot of the big guns gone already, so you could be in with a chance of Wembley. Here's wishing you home draws, and that you avoid Luton ! You appear to have deserved it, and personally I never feel QUITE so bad when my team bows out to the eventual winners.......

You are right, Blyth played really well.......a very good all round team effort.

I was particularly impressed with Robert Dale, Stephen Turnbull, Chris Swailes & Paul Brayson, whilst Nicky Deverdics looks to have plenty of talent as well.....when we were beaten 2-0 by Tow Law in the FA Cup in the late eighties, his Dad scored the first goal after about three minutes......I think his name was Frank.

It's clearly completely wide open now in the last 16.....no reason why Spartans can't go all the way!
