If they had 10 we might just win!

I'd go with that team minus cyrus....strict instructions for the midfield to play defensively and hit it long for the 3 attackers.....so sort of a 7-3 formation....
lets start keeping clean sheets and seeing if we can nick one or two on the break...a 0-0 is better than a 2-3...or a 0-3....or a 1-2.
I actually saw that starting xII and thought that's a good line up so maybe no-one will notice if we sneak 12 onto the pitch...however I'm sick of half arsed clearances and challenges from Mr Cyrus I think he is the weakest link....

4-5-1. Jones and Taylor sit in front of the defence. Hoof it to Owens and hope it sticks, Lawrie and Clee feeding off of that. Richman for his work effort. Taylor could get found out on Saturday.

we will concede at least three so can't see it

Best defence in the division (how I miss Scott Leather ) and in the mix despite Josh O'Keele. They don't score hatfuls. We'll lose 1-0.

Bit unfair to only single Heathcote out as rubbish this season!
-
Don't play Heathcote he is rubbish
He was definitely ball watching for the goal in the Gloucester game and his languid style can be annoying when we are losing every week but I still think he has more about his game than a lot of the others in the team. Patterson gets drawn all over the place when playing right back and his defending for the second on Saturday was awful.
-
Heathcote's languid style is indeed very annoying, but poor Cyrus is constantly an accident waiting to happen.
-
Field the kids, Jones and Owens, the rest are a joke.
We're going to get beat.
I just sincerely hope for the brave 100+ that travel theres a bit of effort and you all have a good day out with a few nice boozers on the way.

Chorley sign strikers jack Sampson from macc & Robbie Mcdaid from york on loan until the end of the season
-
A very good lad Miller I like his praise for the fans well done Alty
-
We will get beat 3-0
-
3 goals against is about par. Oddly, think we might get one back, though I've no grounds for thinking this. Lose 3 1
-
1-0 to them or 1-1, closer game than we think

See club site - injured ankle ligaments in training, out for a further 6 or 7 weeks. As Dire Straits (how apt !) put it : "It never rains around here, it just keeps pouring down."

Chorley sign strikers jack Sampson from macc & Robbie Mcdaid from york on loan until the end of the season
Sampson was the target of a lot of criticism on the Macc forum regarding his lack of goals.
Inevitably then, he goes and scores on his debut for Chorley against us today!
-
I could have scored it. He was completely unmarked. No centre backs.
-
From a corner according to the updates. I suppose everyone would have been back again so Heathcote's tactics not really paying off....again!
-
Standard1st half, conceding 2 soft goals.
-
The best thing about that half was the cup of tea and to be honest that was pretty sh*t.
-
Symbolic of this awful match, Lawrie just took a corner that was so bad it even missed the side netting.
-
We've had Lee Sinnout and now have Matt Outy !just a name that's cropped up deserves the chance to turn it round!
-
We've had Lee Sinnout and now have Matt Outy !
Be fair the bloke inherited this shower and is doing what he can with it. Nothing much can be now until players become available and willing to move in the closed season. At least the promising youngsters are being kept rather than being allowed to drift off prior to the reserve team link up. This season is done, we all sadly have to accept that. This club will come back, terrible as this is, it is this, we must stick together, continue to support the team and be a bit more patient than we already have had to be.

not much different to Jim really and he was let go
If things don't improve it would be absoloute insanity to keep this manager into next season
-
No different to Jim and Doughty publicly slagged him off, in fact on average Jim's record is better.
-
How many games has Doughty had?
-
The board need to make a decision. The season has gone and we could quite easily lose every remaining fixture. So, are Matt, Robbie and Graham the men they want ? If so, let them get on with putting together a squad. If they aren't , then please don't let them tie players down to contracts only for the next man to come in and not want them. Make a decision and let the fans know.
We were clueless today, defending was awful and the attacks in the second half were so predictable. Chorley used the second half as a cool down.
-
The board need to show some leadership. Eighteen rudderless months and we're on the rocks. Piss PISS poor.
-
I felt a bit sick watching that today. We deceive the opposition into thinking we're ok, until the ball enters either of the penalty areas and then they realise that we're not really an opposition at all. I wish fans would stop having a go at Owens - how is he any worse than anybody else? Was Lawrie even playing today? I didn't see him. No central defence again, and today no full backs either. Yes, the ref was awful, the pitch was awful, the atmosphere was awful, but our sh*tness stole the show.
-
How many games has Doughty had?
Matt Doughty:
Six league games as manager: one point gained.
Neil Young:
Six league games as manager: three points gained.

Lies damm lies and statistics

1,000,000 times correct

Like watching jeremy Beadle lose away at Joey Deacon. Clubs needs a full reboot, never mind a "five year plan"

Its pointless comparing who did best. They are all sh*t stats even if you collectively add them up. The team has gone tits up ever since our FA cup run ended last season.
-
I think it shows that Rowley isn't getting any better with his appointments. Doughty should never have been given the job. You csnt sack Harvey and then give the job to someone who hasn't managed before assisted by a man who has effectively relegated 3 clubs in his last 3 jobs.
-
Another home defeat and I think it's petition time.
At some point it's time for a real survey of the fans who go to moss lane week in week out. I understand some being sceptical when it came to a poll on here on having changes at board level. Enough is enough now, the famous phrase is that the board aren't owners they are custodians of the club. Well from here it looks to me like they've done a horrendous job of that in recent times. The fans want a football club not a social.

On another typically sh*t day that actually made me laugh!
-
There's been a lot of talk about our downturn in form since the Colchester game and it's understandable that this has been identified as a significant turning point in our recent fortunes. However, I can't help thinking things started going wrong before that after we achieved safety in 2015 and took our foot off the gas for the rest of the season instead of pushing on and achieving a higher league finish. It was this complacency which I think may have been the start of the rot. I'm not saying Colchester wasn't hugely significant, but things had already taken a turn for the worse before that.
-
densmores injury was probably a pivotal point as well.
As for today's game; Richman was we had a very sh*t ref today. He could have easily had a straight red.

your spot on . I remember going to Torquay and being disgusted with the attitude then

Never have I been so pleased at having a huge bag of sand to shift by the barrowload today. At this rate, I'll be looking forward to shopping trips on a Saturday afternoon........says it all!!!

The trouble is, once the seeds of complacency have been sown it is a bloody long way back. The question which now MUST be answered is how do we stop this terrible sequence of events and start moving in the right direction again? We can't just bury our heads in the sand and assume that playing in lower leagues will see us start winning again. There has to be accountability and an honest admission that things aren't working.

Sadly, I think you are right.

Not saying that at all. Densmore's attacking wing back role was a big part in Sinnot's team. We failed to invest in decent cover for densmore. And we stopped winning games.
-
Get rid of the chairman and start again what a joke we are to other teams we used to laugh at
-
I expect those who appointed Young to leave the club. I want it done properly, realistic names to step in already lined up and ready to work to get us back from this absolute shambles.
Sadly we hear nothing to suggest those necessary changes are being planned. The clock is ticking. My patience is running out.
-
Unfortunately we're not gearing anything. The Chairman has been heard twice since the last fans forum. When he sacked Harvey and then when he gave Doughty the job to the end of the season. Does he have a plan? Are we recruiting a proper manager for next season? Does he anything to say?

tick tock. The season starts in August so we have circa six months to resolve these matters. The chairman has to leave, a manager appointed for next season and players recruited. There needs to be a strategy (maybe this comes from the recent review?) which gets us back to North level and a direction of how we get back to national level within a stated number of years. This is a huge piece of work that needs to start NOW. Tick tock. Tick tock.
-
There should probably be a bomb attached to that clock.
-
Cannot understand the point of this notion we have a six month pre season. At this rate confidence will be completely shot and we will continue this losing streak into next year. Sign players on for 2 years who's confidence has gone, marvelous self fulfilling nonsense. Action is required now to stop a third relegation
-
Whoever gave Tim Deasey a contract until the end of next season needs to be be shot. He's finished. He was at blame for the first goal yesterday and has Sam Heathcote take his goal kicks. He's done, finished, yet he will be on a good wedge and first choice next season.

Didn't go, doubt I will see another Alty game this season.
We are now actively planning days out down here by looking at the Ryman fixtures. In the past we'd have gone up to the likes of Telford/Darlo 4/5 of us from London without thinking. We've already arranged 2 Saturdays out now at Ryman games in Feb/March. As someone else has said very easy to fall out the habit, especially for exiled fans. My first game was in 1987 but I am totally disillusioned and the feeling grows stronger by the week. We are a national embarrassment. I am truly astonished our pathetic excuse for a football team are still somehow pulling in 900 at home.

I hope this post is highlighted to the people at the top. This is a disaster, what the hell is going wrong. It was TEN QUID to get at Chorley yesterday and look at them compared to us, double loan signings of people you've heard of and sitting in the top 3. We need something constructive and quick.

Yes, he was awful, but I wouldn't have panicked and given Tim Deasey an 18 month contract that's for sure.

Fair point. I have the same qualms about bringing Nicky Clee back in to be honest.

No issues with Clee for me. He is a top left winger, we were mugs to release him in the first place.

Another exile feeling the same way here. I've been back for two home games this season - Fylde and FCUM. Two spineless pieces of garbage that sum the entire season up. There are a few games I could haul myself to from Cambridge, but I just can't be bothered, and I've even stopped listening to RR - making better use of Saturday afternoons by going for a swim or a walk. The whole thing is just a joke, an absolute joke. Kudos to those of you still going, especially away games, but I must say I don't understand it. I'e gone from despair to anger and through to total apathy regarding the team now. The most depressing thing is that when we look forward to the Evo-Stik, we should be imagining a chance to revitalise the club through building a winning habit, going on long runs unbeaten, etc. But with the current set up (from board to players) this just doesn't seem plausible. If the current brains trust are in charge in August, it'll be indicative of the utter farce this club has become. The best way I can sum it up is that coming back from the baths yesterday and checking the score, I was pleased to see we had only lost 2-0 at Chorley.

My feelings are very similar. I genuinely forgot we were playing a couple of weeks ago and that has never happened to me in my adult life before.
I feel that, in terms of fan discontent, the reason there haven't yet been that many protests is because we don't really know the board's attitude to it all (what's happened to those promised Q&As with GR by the way? - we had one about the CSH but since then he's gone strangely silent...) How they react to our relegation, once it's mathematically certain, will dictate what happens next. I think it's possible that:
a) the board are fully intending to stand down and are in discussions with possible successors but are just waiting for our relegation to be confirmed to announce it
b) they've no intention of standing down but are in fact labouring under the delusion that they're the people to turn things round
c) they don't know what to do
So I think one thing we as fans can do is let the board know what we think. If they know how we're going to react to them staying or going, it may influence their decisions. So I will not be attending home games and will not re-join the Patrons Club or support any other club schemes if there aren't major changes at boardroom level, including a new chairman.
Last season was a massive disappointment. This season is an utter disgrace and nobody with any sense of integrity, decency or shame would even think of trying to cling on to the chairmanship of this football club after what's happened.

This is how I feel, travelled 300 miles to watch us not have a shot at Stockport, 200 to not have a shot at Gainsborough the list goes on. I'm going to Brackley on Tuesday but only because it's 30 minutes away, after that I don't think I'll be at another game until August. Sick of it and finding it harder and harder to care.

[/quote]
Full agreement with this.
I do not believe anybody wanted this to happen, but it has. Waiting for mathematical relegation makes no sense to me, so I hope it's option A but am fearing it's C.
Like the fella from Gambia, it is time for GR to leave with some dignity.

The Chorley forum has had four replies and less than 200 views for the game.
This thread had 77 replies and well over 3000 views. Not relevant to the team performances but does indicate size and support of the two clubs and yet we lost with ease. Its truly awful.

I live about a 15 minute drive from Fylde, but there's not a cat in hells chance of me going. I watched the 6 0 earlier in the season and have no desire to see it again.
