Title: Brackley Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on November 29, 2018, 06:38:27 PM
Another tough away game.

Think Harrop will come in for Dale and play as the 10 and Hancock will be the 11.

Armson is their man in the middle pulling all the strings. Get Richman to do a job man marking him and jobs a good 'un


Brackley 0-0 Alty .

Personally I would keep Hancock 10 and put Harrop 11,

Expecting to be there with Dad, daughter (here first game) and another Alty fan of Dad's vintage I met at church down here in the Cotswolds by the name of John Challinor in case that rings any bells for anyone.

1-1 draw

Personally we would be bonkers to move Hancock. I would start Harrop left wing, I think he could do a decent job back out wide.
Can't drop Richman or Moult in their current form.

jj on left new guy on right

Last season I was asking for JJ on the left but this season he is playing out of his skin on the right. He is opening the middle of the park up by staying wide and that makes more room for Hanks and Jordan. Putting him back on the left means he has to cut in more. This is fine if Hampson can get further up and keep our width. I wouldn't move anyone and just fill that left wing position.

Straight swap, Harrop in for Dale.

We're not going to go through the rest of this season undefeated, and if there was ever to be a time, it would be away at Brackley.

2-0 defeat, hope I'm wrong.

All the other teams at or near the top are playing each other, so if we beat Brackley this will put us in a quite commanding position. 2-1 win for me.

Lads, this will be a good time to win this game, as above, and you will still have a game in hand. Other teams will drop points.

What a brilliant win! This is some run of form we are on...that is a tough place to go and come away with 3 points. Great stuff..onwards and upwards...I think that takes us up to 4th now.

Well done boys, Parky and Neil...and the fans who made the trip. Safe journey home.

I wasnt there today unfortunately but is there any opinions on the new lad?

Sounds like a great win and wouldn’t rule out this team from doing anything.

Alty are back Alty are back

Judging by the commentary I would say he had a mixed game, but certainly has promise. Gets himself into good positions.

I wasn't there either but we'll done to everyone who was. That was one hell of a win today. Bloody hell, we could actually be in with a shout here...

New lad was good on the ball and direct although he needs to learn to track back too.
Title: Re: Brackley Match Thread
Post by: Bath Alty on December 01, 2018, 08:16:32 PM
I was there and frankly wasn't that impressed with the new lad.  When defending he just stood off and backed away rather than attempting a tackle, their full back went passed him far too easily.

going forward he gave the ball away quite a lot, I felt some of the team had lost confidence in him by half way through the second half and weren't passing to him when it was the obvious ball.

Rest of the team were spot on though a really good win

Well played everyone yesterday, superb result. Think it’s too soon to get on Mantacks back. Pretty sure Phil st al will be getting him into the game plan.

Let’s keep it going. Playing some superb football at present ⚽️😀👍
Title: Re: Brackley Match Thread
Post by: Steve from Sale on December 02, 2018, 09:33:05 AM
Agreed, give the lad a chance and time to blend in with the team, take another 3-4 games for him to find his feet. He needs to learn how we play, his responsibilities and adapt accordingly.

I back Phil's and Neil's judgement in signing him. the more they give him a chance, the better it will benefit us.

Well done to the management and team for engineering this win, as I said we are right in the mix now; plus I predicted the score correctly at 2-1!

Some highlights of the Brackley win are on here (in video player section on left):

Andy White's goal was particularly good!

Apart from the sound being out of sync with the pictures the brief highlights make very pleasant viewing!
As to Mantack - it took a few games for Owen Dale to find his feet completely, so let's not expect miracles from this young man just yet. I have the impression that the management know on what aspects of his game they want him to improve.
Title: Re: Brackley Match Thread
Post by: Jezza on December 02, 2018, 03:13:25 PM
just watched those highlights and was nonplussed by the new lads reaction to richmans goal....

after his chance was cleared off the line he seemed ok...but when simon rolled the rebound into the net he seemed furious...

perhaps PP can get some team celebrating of team goals sorted for him?

the other players were pleased enough for him when he scored the 4th v bpa for example....

We know how to welcome new players to the club, don't we.

Shall we give him and the management team a few games to get things right, perhaps?

Mantak will not have played many games as intense and physical as that and although he got caught out a couple of times he also showed in flashes that he has something- hopefully he has the right attitude and we can see him progress. He improved during yesterday’s game and it will help when he really knows his role - the impressive thing about Alty at the moment is that feeling that everyone knows exactly what he should be doing in any given situation
Title: Re: Brackley Match Thread
Post by: robininstockport on December 02, 2018, 06:51:24 PM
A bit of an odd reaction to us scoring, but obviously upset he didn't put his chance away. Not going to slate him after about 100 mins for us. The county fans speak highly of him.

Good goal from White.

Well done to those that went and got behind the team.

The reason Kallum was angry was because he thought (as did I) that he had been denied a goal by handball on the line. Not angry with Simon at all. Spoke to him after the game. He is really happy to be here and knows he is still on a learning curve.

Give him time
Title: Re: Brackley Match Thread
Post by: Bath Alty on December 02, 2018, 09:46:06 PM
happy to give him time - someone asked how he'd done and I posted my view of how he did.  Certainly not judging his long term future based on one match.

Hannigan and Richman both in team of the week.

Well done
