Immense today and deserves a special mention. Had we had Byrne in nets we’d have lost. If there’s the money please buy him now and make the loan permanent

Of the players that played today I’ve put where I think we’d finish in the league with them in the team. Some of them just aren’t up to it unfortunately

Byrne - relegation battle
Welch-Hayes - playoffs
J Jones - bottom half
Baines - mid table
E Jones - mid table
Marriott - playoffs
Lundstram - playoffs
Kaja - bottom half
CCC - playoffs
Gyasi - bottom half
Hulme - relegation battle

Dinanga - bottom half
Pringle - mid table

Whatever is said at half time to the players isn’t working. We have conceded 7 goals now in the first 5 minutes of the second half (Boreham Wood, Chesterfield x2, Solihull, Notts County, Torquay and now Wealdstone).

The start of each half the players should have clear instructions of what needs to be done. Parky clearly isn’t up to it in this league tactically

A work colleague spoke to me today about some potential worrying news. Don’t know how true it is but

Has he taken us as far as he can? 4-0 down at half time (10 men or not) is an embarrassment at any level of football.

He’s totally out of his depth and something has to change soon otherwise we won’t pick up another point all season.

Hopefully it doesn’t cause problems for the club. @kaylum_green on Twitter seems to be the bloke. 21 from Wythenshawe according to his page that has endless tweets of video footage.

With Kevin Ellison’s celebration at weekend it got me thinking of some great players we’ve had in the past and what an ultimate XI would look like from my time watching Alty from 1991.

I’m bound to forget someone but here goes mine. Not including loanees.

                  T. Kelly                  I. Craney

D. Watmore            R. Colclough               K. Ellison

Alty TV (along with RR) is the best coverage of football at this level. I don’t know if they volunteer or get paid for doing it but I don’t think they get enough recognition. I said on another post that the club should set up an Alty TV site where fans pay a monthly fee to have access to the site. The goals from games could still be aired free but the extended highlights and the game in full should have to be purchased. Player and manager interviews could be put on there as well as a Q&A with a different player each month (Soccer AM style) and kids could tweet questions to their favourite player. During the off season people could vote on which game is shown on a Saturday through the summer to keep the interest of fans.

This would be of benefit to exile fans who can only make it to a home game a handful of times per season, be a revenue stream for the club and also connect the fans and town to the club and players. Having seen the 10 year plan for the club I think this could benefit the profile of the club in the media
