Only choice is Mantack or Hemmings I guess.
Alty 1-0 Telford. Hulme. Attn 747
Another massive game, not contemplating it being off

Which of them has more experience at this (or higher) level? That's the one I think will get the nod!
-
Same team but Hemmings left mid.
I would also have Harrop ahead of Mantack for the wing just because he knows what we are about and it is a big game.
Excited.....again.
-
Telford are more often than not, a big physical team and I expect them to be just that on Saturday.
We will need to match their physicality without picking up cautions but still play our free flowing football.
I think it may well be one of our hardest games to date,.
Having said that I live just 12 miles from Telford and would love to beat them.
Alty 2 - 1 Telford
Not sure they will bring many fans.
Att 856 hoping not to many fans are dragged away Xmas shopping
-
I don't think physicality comes in to it. From what I have seen so far we just play around the opposition. It used to drive me nuts when we had a centre forward up front and we hoofed it up hopefully. #no wonder we got relegated

Spot on. Just play around big lumps with pace and high tempo,which this team does very well. Use to send me nuts playing Kyle Perry for the long ball tactic which we were shocking at and is very dated tactics. The game is played at such a higher standard and pace nowadays.
-
The Run continues
2-0 Hulme and Hemmings
Sod the Xmas shopping get down to the JD and watch the boys
Attendance 1000
-
I've not seen nearly enough of Mantack or Hemmings to pick one over the other.
-
It’s due to rain all night. I presume then raincovers will
Be deployed at some point today after all the water we’ve had so far this week
Alty 10/11
Draw 13/5
Telford 11/4
-
I have a nasty feeling that tomorrow is going to be wet, horrible but just about playable, and Telford are going to be physical & very hard to beat in heavy conditions. I was born a pessimist - but that way the only surprises you get are pleasant ones. I hope to be surprised ...

More info added to the article now.

Without sounding to hard are we not at the time of year were the pitch should be covered
Pretty much through the winter don't get me wrong everyone does a great job at the club
But after all the fund raising done last season it seems farcical that yet again we are in the same
Position as last season with possible games been postponed.

The updated article on the club website explains why the covers could not be used yesterday or today.

I'm not having a dig at the ground staff but, this arrangement with MUFC seems to only benefit them.
Due to them playing on it midweek scuppered the opportunity for us to cover the surface.
I have nothing but admiration for the generous folk who donated to purchase the said covers, I'm just a bit surprised that a club of the size of MUFC didn't give us them at a vastly reduced rate (perhaps they did).

My son represented Man Utd at Anfield in a junior Premier League tournament a few years ago. All the other clubs gave their junior teams full kits and kit bags etc. Man Utd gave them a three year old away top(no shorts and socks) and made them return it after the tournament so it doesn't surprise me that they do us no favours!

It is my understanding that we did get the covers at a heavily discounted price, albeit MUFC had no involvement. All donations.

Hi Mike yes I read the updated Article
My point was last season the fans and the club invested 10.000 thousand pounds to stop this
Happening we now have the technology but did not use it,the heavy rain during the week was
Well forecast so why were the covers not put on before hand.i am sure the last thing anyone wants
Is a fixture pile up like the end of last season having to play three times in some weeks.
Anyway I am sure the Groundsman has done all possible to get the game on tomorrow.

Cheers . Nuff said.

The thing is with ground sharing is you can't have it both ways. So if we take the £ we can't moan about the fact we didn't get the covers on early enough or pitch isn't A1.
-
Another great result, and especially under the conditions. Well done to the ground staff and all the people sweeping the rain off the covers before the match.
A very hard fought contest, Telford looked a decent team, but they didn't really create many chances, I thought our defence today were immense.
Up front we took our chances brillliantly, whilst our defence was fairly water tight, I though the back four for Telford looked slow, in particular the two centre backs, it was just a pity that JJ was running down a rain soaked right wing, in the second half, in the first half he was causing all sorts of problems.
The real talking will be the last 10 minutes, when we were a different team with Hemmings on the pitch, Max also came on and looked lively. I am sure there will be some debate on the board about this.....
-
Just brilliant again lads.
Hemmings without doubt should start left wing. I saw class in only 10 mins.
Credit to Dens aswell. He played really well,considering he's been out so long.
-
Continue to impress Telford are a decent team I saw them at Kiddy early season and although they didn't create much they were well organized and difficult to break down so to get 3 against them is a stellar effort. Momentum and confidence continues to build
-
Wow. Did Thompson make a save 2nd half? Hard to pick a mom but I'd have also given it Hampson.
My only gripe is in the 2nd half, why keep feeding Johnson when he's on right. Either swap him to the left or give it the left winger. Don't see why we want play through the Amazon.
I know Hemmings only came on for 10 but he looked different class.
As BPA are top and Telford were 5th there's no reason why we win this league.
-
Very professional today. I thought we looked poor for first 20 mins of 2nd half but result says it all.
Thought James Jones was immense. Only negative was my eggy smelling pint of Wainrights . Rowley Out.
-
made a comment about the beer a few weeks ago.....they need to sort it out....
superb performance again by the lads and excellent subs by PP
-
Thought James Jones was immense.
Yes, MOM by a country mile
-
I stayed at the golf road end in the first half due to the heavy rain. I have to say I enjoyed watching the defence. James Jones was superb, but I also thought Hannigan was brilliant. For their goal the weather conditions played havoc with our attempted clearances. I even got hit on the forehead by a chunk of mud from Udoh's foot when he reacted to score. So did John stood next to me and we were behind the first barriers!
The defence are as good to watch as midfield/forwards. I agree to start with Hemmings, but saying that Mantack did ok too.
Is Hemmings cup-tied for Stockport?

AFC Fylde haven't played an FA Trophy game as yet this season, so he should be available for selection (unless they have issued a specific request that he should not become cup-tied).
-
Another excellent result under difficult playing conditions for both sides. Thought we got better as the game went on, but overall our defence looked very solid again.
Hard to pick individuals out as they all did v well. Loannee Hemmings looked very capable and lively when he came on for last 10 mins, plus Mantack also had a decent game and looks to be settling into the side too, showing good promise down the wings and good options for PP & NS. Ringo also had a v good game. Hope Andy White is OK but good to see Dens back too, plenty of competition for places, especially when Williams & Poole are available again, but not much need to change a winning team at the mo.
Top stuff, keep it going lads!
-
Another amazing win well done lads
-
Running out of plaudits for PP NS and all the Squad
And a special thanks to all the ground staff for working there buts
Of in such horendous conditions

Luckily we've got the right chairman to sort that out...
-
If fair play, a long way to go (to where we should be) and we shouldn't get too excited but any sort of hard fought win at this time of year (that we've lost plenty of in the past) has to be a good thing
-
Another fantastic result against a very good Telford team, in difficult underfoot conditions.
Fair play to everybody concerned incl the match officials who did there utmost to get the game on.
Another great effort by our defence .
The lad on loan from Fylde really did impress in his cameo roll when he came on as a late sub.
One last thing.. I think we should set up a fund to get JJ some armbands for when he is attacking down the right wing towards the Golf road end..😉
-
Has anybody noticed how much harder it is becoming to single out a player for the man of the match award?
-
Lets all agree that Telford were no pushovers. They came to get three points. They are a very good side, physically strong but lacked a little class IMO. They also seemed to tire in the last ten minutes or so. That said our team performance was worth 10 /10. I agree that it was so difficult to choose MOM but wouldn't disagree with the choice. What a sweet goal that was!
For all the stay a ways, boys you are missing some really good stuff!
Congratulations to all involved.
Can't wait for the Mickelover game another toughie ha SBL
-
Hancock and Johnston made team of the week.
Well done
-
Brilliant. Really enjoyed that.
Not been for a while. I had my doubts about the way we were set up under Parkinson but I’m being proven wrong. We’ve really stepped up a level. Another great performance and looking like real promotion contenders. Well done.
