Title: LEE SINNOTT : HALF TERM REPORT
Post by: VofD on January 02, 2012, 10:27:47 AM
Lee Sinnott vowed " to put a smile back on people's faces".

How has he done?

FA CUP : knocked out at first hurdle at home  to a team 2 leagues below.
FA TROPHY : knocked out at first hurdle away to a team 1 league below.
CSC : waste of time

LEAGUE :

P 21   W 9   D 5   L 7   F 48   A 35   PTS 32
32 points out of possible 63            7 points adrift of last play-off place ( game in hand)

VERDICT

Nowhere near good enough for a club of our standing,especially after yesterday's clueless performance at Droylsden where Alty fans outnumbered the home support.

At least TRY and come up with a plan B if plan A(if indeed you have a plan in the first place) does not appear to be working.

Ditch that ridiculous clipboard which every sub has to read for 5 minutes before entering the field of play.We are not in the Barclays Premier League ffs.

Try for more consistency with team performances and improve away form.

Has he " put a smile back on my face"?



Has he F***
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL.

I'm half of the mind it is still a work in progress....

Lee sems to be getting the best out of some players and it was unfortunate that Jones' legs seemed to go in between the friendlies and the season starting and was slow to react to this and we have suffered ever since.

Attack wise we look good with James Lawrie and Jack being good signings.

Centre midfield we look lightwieght and Lawton and danlyk need replacing quickly.

He needs to find a centre back pairing that works.

Lots of work to do in particular to finding an away system that works.....would anyone else have started twiss to hold and keep the ball away at droylsden? Lee seems to stick with his plan A and needs to find that plan B quickly.

Lee still has for me until the end of the school year to show progress in the areas that need work.....if so then we can maybe look forward to the play offs and forget about the absolutly dismal cup performances this season.

I agree that it is a poor standard and it is very frustrating that we are so close (7 points one game in hand) to where we could and should realistically expect to be.....

I think under the 'cote we would be in a similar position having drawn a lot of games we have lost but only having won games 1-0 that we have romped home in under Lee........I wonder if Mr Needham was around for the season we just finsihed to qualify for conf N under the 'cote when the opposition was similarly sh*te??...or if he can remember us going 1 up front against bottom of the table vauxhall motors and lost??

Summary : Shows promise but Could do better and needs to stop playing truant when we have a cup exam.

Let's look at the team.....

GK
Coburn - BSP
Reid - decent enough back up

Defenders
Dodds - league player (on loan tho)
M. Flynn - where was he yesterday? - BSN
A. Flynn - plays the same long ball each time - Midtable BSN
Lees - playoff BSN
Hawes - Poor yesterday - BSN
Midfield
Lynch - solid BSN player - had a decent game yesterday
Lawrie - BSP
Clee - on his good day BSP
Richman - lower north at best/ top of evo
Summerskill - evo
Densmore - BSP
Thomson? - BSP +

Strikers
Twiss - lower BSP
Redshaw - league
Reeves - BSP/league

We're great going forward and taking our chances (most of fhe time)
so Lees doing something right

Defensively I hope to see us make some changes and find a partnership and stick with it

I believe Hawes, Dodds and flynns loans are up too

It's like groundhog day.  

Good result...silence.

Bad result..bring Heathcote back.

Whether you like Lee Sinnot or not Graham Heathcote is the reason we're in this damn league.

His results in the first nine games made it a too much of a mountain to climb and his payoff meant we couldnt make many changes.  

If you want to sack Sinnott for not bringing instant success then I am pretty sure there are other managers available without the baggage and politics.

Sorry of this upsets anyone still wearing the 2005 playoff red and white tinted glasses...

I think part of the problem with expectations is down to our recent league situations.

In 04-05 we had a good charge to the play-offs with regular good results and some sort of positive form.

Since then (prior to this season) we knew exactly what to expect, a few good home wins, some well earned away points and some right hammerings.

We are not used to being a mid table outfit, there are many many teams and supporters who have years and years of what we are experiencing.

Gainsborough "12th place" Trinity, Rochdale "are winning" 4th Div forever (bar recently..) FC

When is the next crisis meeting? Must be beckoning given this report!

On yesterday’s performance - We were ok for a period in the 1st half where we looked as though we could score, maybe in a 10 / 15 min spell.
Long balls from Flynn? Mazy runs from Clee, Laurie & Redshaw which all came to nothing? good saves from Stewart which kept score down.
Other than that we looked very weak against a much more "up for it" (you just beat us 5-1) and  a more physical team.

Plan A? Plan B? Who cares!  We just need more points from any plan at the moment and this mid term report is pretty damning!
Just a point to consider! The manager at Hyde came in his job round about the same time as Mr Sinnot & from a lower league does it show he knows this league better?
or did we just get the wrong one?
Time will tell! Maybe?

For me the reason we are in this leauge is because at this time its our level

We hung on in the BSP by the skin of our teeth on more than one occasion due to lack of budget

Look at the ground its sad to see no one is interested in putting money into the club that they have no interest in wanting back

I still cant get my head around why we are so poor away vs home its the same team!

When the players we had who were in all honesty better than our level dictated ie little senior etc left or moved on the writing was on the wall for us to be in this leauge

Title: Re: LEE SINNOTT : HALF TERM REPORT
Post by: Toppers on January 02, 2012, 12:19:10 PM
my view:- appointed late into pre-season then went away for two weeks, so bearly had enough time to put his own squad together. players such as densmore and clee just havent stepped up to the mark this season which is worrying. Tolson i dont believe is a coach after nearly guiding hyde to relegation then bringing two defenders with him in a team that conceded over 85 goals last year.
we all say mangers never get a fair chance.... he cant work miracles over night, he's been in the job 6months, GIVE HIM TIME!!

There are improvements needed but the good outweighs the bad and sinnott deserves time. We either win impressively or lose badly which is very frustrating.  Biggest let down has been in the FA cup and trophy. But talk of replacing a manager so early on is crazy.

As an aside, I find the 'bring back heathcote" theory to be truly pathetic.

What a load of nonsense! You are, of course, entitled to think what you like about Lee Sinnott, although I happen to disagree with you on that. However, for you to say there is "only one man" to manage Alty when there are literally hundreds of alternatives out there is baffling at best.

You're living in the past.

I know that it's officially "a work in progress" but some convincing evidence that we are actually making some progress towards our supposed objective would be most welcome.

We still seem afflicted by the same problems and squad deficiencies that were present when the league season commenced back in August and which have generally persisted since then.

Our 'defence' (with the exception of Stuart Coburn) always looks liable to concede goals and requires urgent surgery.

Now our central midfield looks threadbare.....and Summerskill is back!

Densmore and Clee have generally underperformed, alas.

Full credit to Reeves for his excellent goals return.

We are propped up with loan players and still saddled with Heathcote's calamitously expensive folly in the guise of Twiss.

Probably the most alarming statistic is that in a total of 24 competitive matches that we have played to date this season, we have yet to win a game when the opposition has scored the first goal.

I also feel that Sinnott has failed to make much of an impression at the club and it would be beneficial if his profile was increased at Moss Lane.

a very good summarry for me yes Twiss was a mistake and i am sure he would agree with you its a shame we never give credit for the excellent players he attracted also

Its just a damm shame we took him on 2 yrs to add insult to injury i wonder where he will end up after the season is finished

If it was a school report it would read:


Lee has shown some flashes of genius this term, however these have been inconsistent. Whilst always well turned out and polite, I sometimes question his approach to the course and feel a more hands on approach would be beneficial for his learning. With improved concentration and more enthusiasm, I have few doubts Lee could be a star pupil.

Must try harder

If our away form matched our home form we would have 48pts and be 2nd in the league.
The manager needs at least the rest of the season to get a cohesive squad together,
lets stop the" bring back Heathcote " every time we lose!

If he was to come back for me, you could shut the place down. We had a number of good players and managers before Heathcote and will do now he has left the club. This bizarre hero worship of the man is bordering on unhealthy. We need to give Lee a chance to mould the club into the way he wants it and Heathcote hanging around the club and being backed for a return everytime we lose is not helping Lee one bit. We cannot afford to pay-off another manager mid contract so lets see the season out and then assess things then.

Reid is a decent stop stopper and will no doubt be saving us £200 quid a week  - he's not had chance to prove himself...

Dodds is a defender and midfielder... Same as many other players
I love how I've picked holes in Flynn and you had add "fat"
Hawe -  you'r comment about jones...haha I guess you weren't at away games earlier on this season

Lynch had some fight about him yesterday and looked like the kind of Connors/keane-style player you'd want in a team
Lawrie isn't constant enough but if he was he'd be playing league 1
I noticed you've not taken issue with clee for the same thing?


Redshaw quickly fading?? He's a young lad with great potential... He wasn't the best on Sunday but nobody stood out

Lee hasn't put a smile on MY face as often as I'd hoped. And I haven't seen one on HIS face either !

Plan A is great when it works, but it's useless on pitches like the one we encountered yesterday (Workington on Saturday week FFS  :()

Didn't expect much this season because of financial restraints, but I'm beginning to worry that the infrastructure isn't in place for next term yet, and half the season has gone. We really do need a set of hard physical defenders before August comes round. We don't impose ourselves on the opposition sufficiently in that area - or indeed immediately in front of it.

LEE HAS HAD SOME GOOD IDEAS, BUT TOO OFTEN FAILS TO DO THE SPADEWORK TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE EFFECTIVE. CAN DO BETTER WITH TIME AND PATIENCE. ANOTHER YEAR IN THIS STREAM MAY BE NECESSARY FOR HIM TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED PASS LEVEL.

I sit back and read comments and DO NOT REPLY cos I feel I have not right to because I can not get to games anymore (people on here know my reasons) but I can not sit back and read the crap about bringing back ex managers.

This DOES NOT help anyone at all. If you are privileged enough to be able to get to games then SUPPORT THE CLUB AND MANAGER. Take two steps forward and not two steps back.

As I have said I always feel I can not comment but I have watched the Graham Heathcote years, and yes I have cheered but also I have been less than impressed also... Time to move on and FORWARDS. I am not going to get into the politics of it all but have a think why the money has not been their to spend ? Mr Altrincham in more ways than one !!!!

If you think we can walk this league then you are mistaken, I have been to watch Daventry Town today, my first football match in AGES and watching a club with less than 120 fans at home, and £9 to get in makes me appreciate even more Altrincham FC and where we are.

We are good going forward no doubt and Lee has done a good job in that area but woefully the opposite in defense. We need to take a leaf out of the book of other teams, "Stoke 6 at the back", Sunderland against MU this week. It needs to be all hands to the ship when defending, titles are won by not conceding goals and all players need to play their partb in defending, not sure why this does not happen at Alty? We must really question Lees ability to manage a team able to defend, he has tried a number of players this year, does he have the knowledge?

What a load of bollocks, and i say that with respect, how an earth are we on course for a pop at the title next season? And please don't just say Lee's got a 2 year plan and this would always be a rebuildng season. There's been little evidence of that so far.

As for how people can be sucked in for that when we can only offer one year contracts if that at the best of times incidentally.

I don't see enough progress bar maybe Redshaw and Lawrie are 2 decent ish young players. Everywhere else we seem to be the same or going backwards, certainly we seem to have little heart when the going gets tough.

Negatives : allowing all last season's squad the chance to stay (bar Dootson, Beesley and Denham) is the major black mark, they shouldn't have been given the dignity of a choice, the seeming lack of any real connections signings wise which bar Lawrie and Redshaw have been very poor, the lack of a plan B or any heart in the side, the lack of any real status in north west non league football and to a lesser extent at the club.

Positives : Slowly clearing out some of last seasons' shower, some nice football at times, getting the best out of Reevesy.

My mark : Jury is still out for me, but at least it's still out. In all honesty though I cannot at this moment in time imagime Lee Sinnottt and Neil Tolson stood in the dug out managing Altrincham FC in a BSP fixture.

I think Sinnot cops a lot of flack for the failure of players to perform.

People talk about niave tactics or no plan B.

I wouldn't mind betting that Plan A on New Years Day wasn't "Hawes'...if you could do a two footer for the pen to give them a dream start, Stu if you could do a rare fumble for the second and then Flynny, second half son when we still have half a chance if you could perform a terrible overhead kick in the box to gift them another then thats great. If we get any chances can we over egg them or completely waste them."

Now people can't blame Twiss it' the manager who gets it.

It's like someone has to be at fault if a team has the audacity to beat us.

I agree with Ballers in that he placed to much faith in last seasons under acheivers.  However he hasn't been afraid to get rid of failures like Paul Jones or stand on ceremony with Lawton and Danlyk.

Eastbourne are currently 14th in the Conference South...it can take time to get over a relegation.

At home we're a delight to watch most of the time, stating the obvious but finding the answer to the away form is his biggest challenge so far.

Agree here (that Hawes escapade will ahunt me for as long as I love Alty. i.e. forever) and if it had been Paul Jones who had done it you would have said he should've been replaced by now but Hawes has only been here a handful of games. I hope that he does better long term business (and long term has to be the key here now) in January at the least. Although I suspect it will more likely be a raft of loan signings of unrequired players in February after everybody else has sorted themselves out.

We need to take a trip to the 'horrible bastard superstore' and get a centre midfielder and a centre back, not loan signings or bits of kids from a championship side.Big horrible 26 year old scousers/Yorkshiremen that will give us a bit of mental steel as well as muscle.We got bullied again on Monday by a very poor outfit, hawes and adam Flynn are still not the answer, I would replace both, not wanting single people out, but Flynn (A) hasn't actually had a good game for us yet
