On way back from Rivacre Park. Cant believe he left Watmore out for allegedly failing to track back at Harrogate and why disrupt the back four by bringing Leather off who was doing ok? That change led to their second goal. Ive seen two of our first three games and we look like a bottom half side. SINNOUT!

Was gobsmacking Watmore did not start
-
If its true he was dropped for not dropping back then that shows sinnots well off the mark again, a player like him shouldnt be laboured with defensive duties when he is causing the opposition problems.
Agreed him and tolson are clueless and cant keep a clean sheet in how long ???
-
We would definitely have won had Duncan played from the start. If we can't beat a team of losers like that we are looking at relegation, a very humiliating afternoon.
Feel very depressed at the moment.

Last seasons draw made me livid but this is a bit too sh*t

Will Sinnott still be here at the end of September?

Calm down, its three games in get a grip

This cluelessness! Can't go on! Sinnott doesn't seem to be able to get any consistency fom the players and 3 points from 3 games isn't good enough!! I don't remember the last time sinnott made tactical changes and they have paid off! He doesn't seem to be able to motivate anyone! Always lacklustre performances!!

Watmore looked knackered after Harrogate and was marked out the game for the most part. Richman also came on and changed the game for us. Sinnott may have been thinking Richman was a steadier option for us to start with a view to bringing on Watmore as an impact player.

For me this is the end of the road for this management team. I don't care if it's been 3 games or 12 months, when that team trudged out for the second half I knew there was not a bit of fire in the bellies of the players and I wasn't the only one who noticed.
Today was embarrasing and heartbreaking and there is absolutely no excuse in the world for Duncan's omission from the team - that was just plain stupid.
I don't know where we go from here, but I for one am very, very worried for today we looked like relegation fodder.

What the reason for Rogers being benched? I know his passing is poor but he does break up play well.
Not happy with the way things are going but to be fair to LS Phealen walked 1 wk before the start of season, Havern pulled out 1hour before the first game. We loose Clee and Doughty in the second gane. None of this his fault.
He did however sign Brooke. FFS

I think it is rather unfair to say the second goal came from taking Leather off, Four attackers on 2 defenders is obviously a numerical disadvantage whoever had been on the pitch

Bring back Graham Bennett!

I have been a staunch supporter of Lee's since he took over. Very concerned after today's game about our chances of being genuine contenders. I am loathe to set a "x points in y" matches target, but we need:-
clean sheets. Urgently.
improved performance when we don't have the ball. Fewer misplaced passes and unenforced errors.
...and the thing that cannot be measured so easily, passion and commitment.
Get those right and we'll get the points ok.
Come on Alty.
-
Thought Richman had one of his best games today (sorry V of D).
Today was a standard Vauxhall v Alty display. They worked hard and we gave it away too much and didn't really penetrate enough and they won.
They caught us cold when we were applying the pressure for the second. We were at least getting in the box and their keeper pulled off two decent saves from Lawrie. We had two decent shouts for a penalty as well but the ref wasn;t the reason we lost.
I thought Brooke had a good game on Tuesday but he was poor again today and combined with a misfiring Reeves it leaves us virtually nothing up front. He certainly isn't the long term answer without a serious improvement.
Piles the pressure on the Chester game now.

Duncan Watmore is an 18 year old lad playing in a physical League.
He aint an 18 year old built like Nicky Daws was and he's played two games close together last weekend, the second on what I am advised was a mudheap which would have been taxing on even the strongest and most physical of individuals.
Today we played at Vauxhall who are always a very robust physical team and less than 48 hours after the completion of this game we kick off again at home against Chester.
Resting the 18 year old today and replacing him with what some people might consider a more physical player seems to make sense to me.
As for the suggestion or rather rumour that he'd been dropped for not tracking back at Harrogate - laughable! in fact almost as laughable as the idea that anyone involved with the Club would actually tell anyone that
-
We were like headless chickens. Without Clee there is no creativity. Didn't think Moult was anything special. Brooke doesn't relish any sort of tussle. Richman was actually our best player in my opinion, but that doesn't justify omitting Watmore. Impact player ? He's made his impact early in the game so far !
Utterly ridiculous substitution. Leather had been one of the better performers, but Grimshaw hadn't been on the field two minutes before he let his man get behind him at the second attempt, and we conceded. IT WAS A CARBON COPY OF HIS ERROR AT NANTWICH FFS ! The lad would be better in midfield.
I am rapidly losing faith in Sinnott, and my resolve to do every game this season is being sorely tried. Thoroughly pissed off this evening. >:(

I thought Moult looked good,likes to get the ball down and pass it. Totally agree about Brooke though,the ability is there but he's a sh*thouse!

I have reacted to this on another thread, I don't think the lad had any other option, if he had gone with his man that would have left three attackers on one defender so I think they would have still scored and he would have got flack for that. As it is two defenders went with four attackers, I think it was a case of damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Just a shame scoring opportunities weren't dealt with.i

If you can't see what the problem is you don't understand football - LS must go - totally lost patience now, wasting my time
Near 30 years and never been this low

Ah, I see. So we rest Watmore today and hope the rest of the rabble get us three points cos Vauxhall are sh*te and we bring him back against a good team on Monday and hope to scrape a win. 6 points in the bag! What a genius Len Snottie is!
Realistically shouldn't we have gone all out today to bag the three points and worry about Chester once we've got said three points in the bag? ??? The plan you allude to has no fall-back position once the 3 points are lost today and Duncan is even more knackered having played against grown-ups for 30 minutes today.
-
I really don't buy all this rotating and 18 year olds need resting etc.. We are Altrincham not Man Utd. The manager should play the STRONGEST line up at his disposal every game.

The whole league is physical!! The lower down the pyramid you go the less time you have on the ball and more physical it is. Don't recall any complaints coming back from Clitheroe and I bet he was kicked from pillar to post...

Ecky, surely this is reason enough for dismay. We've not progressed 1 bit since GH left. Still sh*t in cup games. Still sh*t at Vauxhall. Still prone to abject defensive displays (in fact more than before) and still not able to string 3 decent games together.
Looking at who LS has signed not a single player stands out. Clee, Reeves, Densmore and Coburn already there and Duncan from the youth. Take or leave the rest as they don't give a toss about the club.
How long do you give someone who hasn't signed a decent player and hasn't threatened to give us any league winning form? I wasn't a massive fan of GH towards the end, but let's be honest we paid a massive amount of money out to replace him with someone who at very best has equalled him at his most mediocre. I can't see LS ever generating the spirit and tactics required to produce a backs to the wall 1-0 win away from home in conf national. GH had that. So, for me we've regressed. Gutted.
I'll be there at Oxford and I can't wait. Hoping the right Alty turns up, it's a 33/66 chance right now :-(

Beaver,
You make some valid points. I suppose the point I was trying to make was that today we weren't battered by Vauxhall in an abject display from every player.
I'm not some pro Sinnott apologist, I have never spoken to the man. I just don't think its right that after every defeat or draw is 100% his fault. His players yes and some aren't good enough but he isnt playing some weird 6-1-3 formation.
He has the right, based on scouting reports he has from Vauxhall to make the team selections he feels are right.
I think some on here think he should have a read of the lineups that get posted on a Friday and pick his favourite ( MAYBE HE SHOULD etc etc)
We need a damn good performance against Chester I know that much.
-
I'm not a fan of the Sinnott out theory at present - but - I do wonder if some of the signings are any better than what we had last season.
Yep just 3 games into a brand new season but the thing that concerns me most is the seemingly lack of passion throughout the team and the inability to string simple passes together - there were a few decent performers out there today but we never seem to want to bring the ball out of defence and most players treat it as a hot potato. We also cannot create much when Clee is out of the side.
I wont be there on Monday. Not due to todays performance but for the simple reason being that I refuse to be shuffled up the end of the popular side yet again, due to the inevitable segregation.
-
I' m not sure what the alternative would be if Sinnott left? I was no fan of GH, but look what happened when he left. We got worse. It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation.
Although I worry sometimes when I see him leaning aganist the wall in his suit looking down hearted and not giving the players a deserved verbal kicking, I do think he needs more time....but not too much that Alty get into a relegation position.
For me it's not just the players who have to put in a bloody good performance against Chester, it's also the manager. I hope Lee has the fire in his belly. If not, then maybe he needs think hard about his future at Alty.

What is point of changing the manager after 3 games?

The plan you allude to has no fall-back position once the 3 points are lost today and Duncan is even more knackered having played against grown-ups for 30 minutes today.
I'm thinking of the whole season rather than Monday in particular. Monday was just an example of us playing a theoretically better and less physical side. Incidentally where did I suggest that Vauxhall are sh*te, your words not mine. My issue was Duncan possibly being less suited to the battle than Richman.
However it does seem that you, like some others, intend to twist the meaning of another correspondents post to suit your own agenda. Have you thought of becoming an MP?
The Clitheroe issuse is, IMHO, nugatory. Duncan's pace and movement would enable him, nine times out of ten, to avoid the agricultural centre backs at Clitheroe's level.
Remember please that this is the second level of Football outside the Football League and that Watmore has very limited first team experience
-
The post about not playing an 18 year old lad because of heavy pitches, 2 games in 3 days, physical league Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla is just old fashioned cliched nonsense. We are very lucky to have a bright young talent like this who has single handedly scored/created more on his own than the rest of the squad put together. Play him. Take the game to the opposition and win matches. It's not complicated. Poor decision today which backfired. Generally think the manager talks a lot of honest sense in his post match comments. Would be nice for him to admit he got that one wrong at least. Chester are nothing special. Let's get 9 pts on board by next sat 5pm.

One season and 3 games, actually. And the point is, as others have posted today, that he is absolutely CLUELESS. >:(

Well Sinnot signed Lawrie which i thing is great! And also Reeves would not be playing for us now if it wasn't for Sinnot. I know Ken wasn't a big fan, but GH proberly couldnt of kept him.
Luca and Hall have to be given time to show their worth. Legends don't appear over night

He is though or else we'd have been promoted last season ? Strange logic ! 16 of 22 clubs in the league were going neither up nor down after all. Not happy with him despite having faith last season. But I'll be delighted if he proves me wrong.
-
Most on here did not go tuesday so have no idea that richman did well when bought on. Lee can change games as he did tuesday.
-
What is point of changing the manager after 3 games?
It is actually 3 games and one full season.
However, there is no point in sacking a manager unless there is a definate alternative available and one who can attract decent players which at this time of the season is going to be very difficult for anyone.
I remember Man U sacking a manager (Dave Sexton after an end of season run of 6 wins) thinking they had a better alternative who then turned them down.

What does it say about our training regime when even the manager gets injured!! Watching him walk to the dugout was torture yesterday.
Questions need to be asked.
-
the writing was on the wall in the friendlies with the casual wear.....but the main problem is the man chops and changes and doesn't seem to even know what his plan A is attire wise.....why wear casuals throughout the pre season if you intend starting the season with a more formal look??...and then why change a winning side???...although I do understand the muted observations about it being vauxhall motors and a possible injury....I'd go back to shirtsleeves and smart suit trousers and when we hit the colder winter add a jacket....wether the man will or not we will see...I doubt the board even cares!!
-
My issue was Duncan possibly being less suited to the battle than Richman.
I'm not starting on Richman again as he does have some good points.
This phrase did send me into fits of giggles though.

Guys you crack me up.
Close season everyone was excited about the players coming in, Reeves returning and the club is going places.
No the players we signed are sh*t and they dont give a toss and we are as bad as last year.
I dont believe the players are sh*t. Some are better than others of course, but we have the centre back pairing who won the league last season.
The issue for me is that our training methods, tactics and formations dont seem right. At least not at the moment.
LS will want the team to play how he wants them to and new players take time to form that understanding. Admitidly after preseason they should be there now though.
Calling for LS head after 3 games is crazy. However if we dont show a marked improvement by Christmas something needs to be done somewhere.
For the time being though we should all get behind the team. You could see at harrogate how the fans cheering the players on worked, and when we were quite the team went quiet. Maybe more encouragement couldo the trick rather than slating them for every little mistake.
As for Watmore, I agree with ATS early on in the thread, that keeping him off the pitch until later was probably what i would have done and i dont think LS did anything wrong here.
I await a load of post pointing out my spelling mistakes.

Coventry have just pressed the panic button by sacking Andy Thorn after just 3 games. Be interesting to see if their results improve.

He did take them down last year, though why you back a man through the summer and then get rid after three draws is peculiar to me. Coventry are a club in general decline. Are we? No.

They probably will for half a dozen games, then go back to normal. As is the case with the vast majority of panic sackings.

3 years ago Norwich sacked Bryn Gunn after 2 games and replaced him with Paul Lambert. Look where they are now.

What is point of changing the manager after 3 games?
One season and 3 games, actually. And the point is, as others have posted today, that he is absolutely CLUELESS. >:(
He's not though or else we'd have been relegated last season.
He is though or else we'd have been promoted last season ? Strange logic ! 16 of 22 clubs in the league were going neither up nor down after all. Not happy with him despite having faith last season. But I'll be delighted if he proves me wrong.
Surely that means he's only partially clueless ;)

Most on here did not go tuesday so have no idea that richman did well when bought on. Lee can change games as he did tuesday.
Richman did great against Harrogate, obviously scoring the winner aswell.
And he also played well yesterday. Our best player on the pitch in many ways.

Remember that when more than two items are compounded, the conjunction comes between the last two, and commas separate the others.

Right, sinnott has had a very poor start i cant disagree with that statement and that clean sheets have been hard to come by.
However, we cant just go round sacking managers, I believe we give him this season and then most of the next, let him keep bringing more players, as i believe this situation needs paitence as who else could we get really?
As Heathcote had come to the end of his time so why everyone wants him back i dont know

This season and most of next?! really. I don't think we are a million miles off this season, with a fully fit reeves we should be pushing top 4. Now there is the rub, we should hve been top 4 last season and we should be this season. If we don't perform today how much longer, two or three games I would say.

Of course we a club in decline, last season was one of our worst ever and this season looks like being even worse

I don't think this club is in decline at all, it is probably in its best shape off the pitch for many, many years. Don't confuse that with poor performances on the pitch.

No body wants Heathcote back
Gary Lowe who won this league last season is out of work, and has been at most of our games this season

Correct. I wish people would calm down and stop over-reacting to a few poor results. I wont be getting too excited even if we win today and just think that today's match will almost fund another player.

Coventry were relegated last season. I didn't think you could get relegated after 3 games unless you have had a massive points deduction.
