Is Denham still not 100%?
Surely he should play in a game like this where we are trying to score on the break. Maybe come on at half time?

Looks like 3-5-2, unless it's square pegs in round holes with Youngy at LB and Williams at RB, but I doubt that.

Come on the Alty!

In the system we're playing, and with a big man up top considered a must, it's between Senior and Denham. I'm happy to give Senior first crack, Denham can come on later if required.

Feel sorry for Nicky Clee, he deserves a place in the side but I think GH has rightly gone for safety first, i.e. Danylyk and Lawton accompanying Kearney.

Denham went off injured on Tuesday night, so not a suprise to not see him start today

Post by: robininstockport on December 05, 2009, 03:20:46 PM
I would have McAliskey on from the against the giants.

See he's had a couple of attempts. Don't want to judge him too soon as I wrongly did about Clee.
Title: Re: Histon match thread
Post by: Darren on December 05, 2009, 03:22:32 PM
Looks like were having a go

16:00
Corner taken by Matthew Doughty from the right by-line to the near post, John McAliskey has a headed effort from close range and clears the crossbar.

15:45
Chris Senior sends in a cross, blocked by Matthew Langston.

13:53
Effort on goal by John McAliskey from 25 yards. Save made by Danny Naisbitt.

13:45
Shaun Densmore delivers the ball, Callum Stewart makes a clearance.

13:04
Free kick awarded for an unfair challenge on John Kennedy by Anthony Danylyk. Danny Naisbitt restarts play with the free kick.

Post by: Paul Cain's Chip Pan on December 05, 2009, 07:53:06 PM
A few brief thoughts on today's game:

Williams, Young and Smith were superb all afternoon.

We had the better chances to win the game. Senior went close several times.

Denham looked short on pace when he came on and is obviously not fully fit at present.

Most of our tackling was top notch.

I don't think Coburn had to make a serious save all afternoon. The defence looked strong throughout.

4 points from our two games against Histon this season is a vast improvement on our previous meetings and I think we can rightly feel pleased about that.

Title: Re: Histon match thread
Post by: Leon on December 06, 2009, 05:46:32 PM
I thought we put in a very solid performance yesterday and in particular defended superbly. It does limit our attacking options a bit but the back five of Densmore-Williams-Smith-Young-Doughty looks so balanced and strong that I'd be tempted to play that system in every game.

I also thought Danylyk had a really good game and McAliskey looked pretty good, on balance. He's clearly not the quickest and it did seem like he simply didn't react to Senior's second half shot across goal, which should have given him a tap-in. But he won a lot of headers in the first half especially and showed some nice touches. He is exactly the kind of player we needed and the team fits together much better with him in it.

So a good day for Alty, which could easily have been even better. As for Histon, on the pitch they're clearly not the team they were. And off it, they remain as soulless and pointless a club as always.
Title: Re: Histon match thread
Post by: Longman on December 06, 2009, 06:01:11 PM
Excellent performance yesterday, with Danylyk, Williams, Young and Senior being my stand out performers.

We are so much more solid away from home it's crazy, we worked hard all over the park to a man yesterday and deserved more than a point.

We need a prolific goalscorer now that Little is getting on, as we are simply not clinical enough in front of goal, not easy to come by though!

That's a bit unfair really. Their fans were certainly quiet but it's a nice enough and welcoming place to visit. Very "Unibond" in many ways.

Post by: Sarf London Alty on December 06, 2009, 09:43:09 PM
No, Leon has this spot on for me. I'd say as with last year the actual crowd looked more like the 500 bracket than the announced 650 odd. For virtually the entire game there was no vocal support/backing or passion from the vast majority of the home crowd for their team either, it was like being in a morgue. It's a pointless rich man's plaything a la say Colne Dynamoes back in the day and now Baldwin has left them they will only be going one way. Give me a Dover/Woking/Bath anyday rather than Histon, ie a proper club with a bit of heritage and support from the town than some plastic plaything who have been promoted way above their natural level on the back of one mans cash.

I wouldn't disagree with that: the Histon fans I've spoken to at the three games we've played there have all been perfectly pleasant. But I do always get the feeling during the matches that none of their fans really gives a monkey's and that, say if it was announced the club was going to fold, the people who do turn up to their games would simply do something else every other Saturday and it would disappear without a whimper. I may be wrong about that but that's the feeling I get.

I couldn't believe this when i heard this, but the Histon team that we apparently (wasn't there) outplayed on Saturday, had a wage bill of £15,000 a week!

Considering that is 2 and a half times the size of ours, i think a big well done is due all round!!

Also been told that their directors were saying how they need to cut down to the size of our wage bill.  Wouldn't be suprised to see Histon drop down the table in the near future if that's the case.
