Agreed, but we have plenty of time and, I suspect, the ability.

I suspect FGR will do quite well this season and we will play many a worse team.

AS for Staffords attendance - wouldn't pay for a part time side, never mind full time.

I think we should start with Rod and Potts both provide more options and always make a nuisance of themselves, I even think Liitle could be used as  a super sub beacause this season he will be marked out the game early on.

This result is not as depressing as our defeat to FGR a couple of seasons ago when they stuck 5 past us.....As someone else posted earlier on this thread  I agree that FGR may be one of the surprise teams this season.   However, with Grays next, and them having scored 5 today, we've got to tighten up and get things right at the back.   With Tinson and Lane back there I thought we'd be a bit more solid but this habit we have fallen into already of conceding a couple of goals in very short periods is somewhat concerning.  Lets get it sorted and push on,  come on Alty!

Fgr fans view
Just got back, good result but not the best game, spoilt, what can only be described as the worst ref for a very long time. Some very poor decision, including what should have been a straigth red for an absolutely awful challenge on Jon Smith.

First goal was an own goal after a cross from Dodgson. We had more play but Altrincham added a extra midfielder which swung the game. Their goal came from a free kick.

Second half saw JH change tatics. He put Lawless into midfield with Fleetwood going wide on the right. 451 formation. Two early goals which settled the match.

Still along way to go, 6 points from 3 games is very good for us.

Plus - Good team display with everyone chipping in. Hardiker named MOM. Thought Smith looked good when came on for the injured Brough. Dodgson also played well

Minus - poor attendance. The weather and holidays didn't help but only 750 odd is poor.
Ref was totally inept and that was both team.

Surprisingly the thread on the FGR forum is absolutely bang on the money (well, more or less). I'm too depressed from yesterday to pass comment, other than it's exactly the same well documented problems that got us relegated last season. Fwiw I agree with the poster called laughing giraffe on page 3 of the thread.

Post by: Bath Alty on August 20, 2007, 12:10:32 AM
My first game of the season on Saturday and I thought we looked better than last year apart from up front. 

Tinson is immense when dealing with long balls pumped up the middle they didn't get anything passed him, all goals came from them getting behind us / crosses where we looked much more iffy. 

Whalley improved as the game went on and looks a class act. 

I'm usually a big fan of Joe but he didn't seem with it at all yesterday, admittedly he was out of position but he didn't seem to want to get forward, he stuck to the simple ball back to Warren and then just stood there 5 yards in front of him rather than breaking forward.  It helped hold on to possession better than I have seen us do before but we didn't create anything with it. 

Senior ran around a lot as usual chasing everything and their giant centre half (may only have been 5'10 but lokked big!) kept feeling the need to lean on him to win headers giving us a number of freekicks but personally I'd have put him on the wing and Joe up front.

Overall a reasonable performance apart from first 5 mins of each half and much better at holding on to the ball which will help with preventing tiredness later in games but we need something more threatening up front.

There now follows a ref rant, feel free to ignore obviously but I will feel better for getting it out of my system  >:(- he was truely very poor.


The comment on FGR forum that the stand side liner was even worse than the ref was spot on.  From sitting just behind him we could see Little have the shirt practically pulled of his back in the area but he gave nothing.  The rip in Tinson's shirt referred to in JL's report also occured in the area in full view of the linesman and what the non-offside decision was about that riled Stu and most of the rest of the team at the end of the first half I have no idea, there were clearly three players a mile offside.

The FGR references to Sedgemore'c challenge are a bit harsh, he did lunge in at right abgle to the direction the player was running but his studs were safely out of the way and he actually led with his knee, unlike the challenge on Joe in the first half which really could have been a  straight red - dreadful challenge and the first really bad one of the day, so don't believe the FGR fans about them sinking to our level, they were at least as bad.

Munroe's booking was for intent as much as anything, he actually got the ball solidly before the player but you could tell that he wasn't bothered whether he did or not!  Having said that he was provoked by getting caught very late after playing it back to Stu and the ref did nothing, the forward got up and walked into Karl just to wind him up a bit more, ref said nothing and then second half the same guy clattered Karl from behind after the ball had gone for only a free kick.  Shortly afterwards Rose came on, a sound move as they were clearly targeting Munroe and the ref was missing loads.

Somehow by the description you give he was lucky not to be sent off.

Went in at right angles with his knee - mmm ok !!!
