It now looks as if we have turned a corner and we are now looking a very good outfit once again. I am particularly pleased that we have now gone two games without conceding. Good teams start from the back, and we are now looking good in all departments. Funnily enough, though it is early days, we only required small tweaks to the current squad to get where we are now but what an inspired re-signing Greg Wilkinson is proving to be. I was unable to make the Stalybridge game last night as we had a house party - where I quaffed 5 pints of Dunham Massey Alty Ale. Good pint.
I must say that Jim has been a revelation since his arrival, to have turned things round so quickly with the nucleus of the same squad at the start of the season. Long may his success continue. He must know now have much we are behind him, as he deservedly reaps the benefits of our backing. I was really impressed with the following I heard on Radio Robins yesterday, especially as there were over 200 of us and I am sorry I could not be there. Lots of our players are coming good now, and there is no shortage of goals, but ur organisation seems much better, even without Tom Hannigan at present.
Yes after the dark days of the beginning of the season, there is now much to look forward to, so lets close ranks and get behind the team once again - and enjoy coming to Alty once more.
Keeping it going all at Alty, I am sure good days are ahead once more.
Onwards and Upwards!!

Let's not get giddy. It was a god awful game where they had a few chances that would usually be taken. We are still making mistakes that tend to get punished, we got away with it yesterday as Stalybridge contrived to be worse than us. That said I agree that Wilkinson is a revelation!

yesterday was a bog awful game between two relegation fodder teams, still a long way to go and massive improvement required but its a start. Don't get giddy Steve from Sale

If we had not won yesterday we were down in my opinion
We have won 3 games 2 against lower opposition and 1 against a side that will be relegated
Finishing 4th from bottom is the goal this season now . Anything higher is a bonus .
We desperately need to progress in the fa cup to give Jim more cash to strengthen the squad
Sadly even with the amazing work Jim has done so far this is one of the worst alty teams I have ever seen .
-
A very good outfit once again??? Calm down
-
On a scale from 1 to 10 we've improved from 1 to 3.5

We were very flattered by the margin of victory against Morpeth, and almost the same is true of yesterday's win. There were far too many hairy moments in our own penalty area against moderate opposition & for long periods watching grass grow seemed more attractive than the fare on offer. That said, we have now got a League win under our collective belt, confidence should be boosted to a degree, certain players my be nearer fitness by the time we next play a League game & given enough of the ball Wilkinson is looking like the 'play-maker' we need. Next week brings its own pressures, but the three League games that follow will be very important too.

That's it. Regardless of performance the bottom line is we won yesterday and with now 3 home games on the trot coming up (all of which are very winnable) things could be looking up in 2 weeks time. First Matlock though which is a very big game both on and off the pitch. £12,500 prize money at stake.

probably worse teams in the 90s

i can honestly say this is the worst (collective)alty team for at least 30 years , we have had some bad teams , even when we were relegated under km with only one defender they still would have beaten us , players like darren royle being detrimental to the teams from the 90's still would have annihilated us , the only positive is that this team cant get any worse as a collective unit , we have some ok players but my god , young really screwed over the team and made decent cn players look sunday league at best ... so jim harvey and buzzz deserve all the ploaudits that they are getting but dont be fooled we are still in the cack and have a long journey up the cack motorway to get out of this mess
-
individually yesterdays team is generally ok for conf north level imo but yes agreed collectively a way to go
-
The problem is not so much the individuals we have got (though I think we are carrying some). It's more about the players we have not got. Had Luca and Scott stayed, we'd be nowhere near the bottom. Enough said.

The Bower Fold natives are not happy......
"That was Alty's first win of the season. They are a dreadful side. wilkinson may have been the best player on the pitch yet he's barely competent at National North level and ..... they beat us 2-0 at home.
I'm unconvinced there are three worse teams than us in that league. Sadly we are headed for the next tier down.
The pie hut is an absolute farce. The slowest service in any catering outlet anywhere, ever."

Really! Leather was good with someone to hold his hand and Havern left at Christmas

Read the article, so we are known as ALLY now are we ?

Yes really. Chorley and Telford are not great, but defensively sound. We are not and most of defence is on the treatment table.

As of Saturday, Hannigan & Hall (on the basis that neither of them was in the named 16 & Heathcote was). Both might be available next weekend, of course. Dawber's illness meant we had no sub keeper on Saturday; how long that situation will continue is in the lap of the medical gods, of course.
-
Like Luca and Scott, Hall and Hannigan are experienced defenders at our level. It worries me that they've both received significant injuries this season. We are very very vulnerable without them.
-
a long journey up the cack motorway to get out of this mess
Errrr........no, I'll just get my coat.
-
Hannigan was saved for Matlock and hall should also be available
-
We need experienced cool headed decision makers in defence. Hall and Hannigan have to do that from the start on Saturday. Desperately need to build confidenc.

oh dear

I agree!!
