Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Wythenshawe Town (A) thread

If that was our 1st, rather than 4th game, I'd be pleased - only poor finishing let us down.

As always Wythenshawe put up a stern test, They're well drilled but you can see the players adapting to Phil's style. Both Justin and Joey continue to impress. I was always impressed first half on Saturday by the same 3.

We could do with a Goalkeeper featuring against Manchester United or Macclesfield if we are going to bring in new blood - rather than Mee coming in cold mid-season.

You win leagues on consistency; not brilliance.

I don't think Ollie is a bad keeper; but any other player would get respite. Dinanga, Osborne, Hulme, Linney if mistakes are made.

Time for Phil to perform a duty of care; bring in a 2nd GK and give Ollie the support he needs. Coming from Welsh Champions behind a top-quality defence,  he's being challenged for the first time in his adult career.

Its a real mess, what about Bankholiday receipts for local sides.

They shouldn't have been allowed through AGM without a massive bond

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Club Crest

I'm an old fashioned chap and like the heraldic crest as a nod to the town of Altrincham and it's historic past.

It might not be catchy, but it is classy!

The KGR retro kits is a great example of a paired-back version. This would have my vote. It stays true to the official crest, whilst being under 6 colours for printing purposes, and can be shrunk/made giant with relative ease.

Still remain concerned that we only have Joey Jones and Marriott for CM.

Vital position and we have no quality in reserve. If Jones doesn't perform we will be in trouble in that area.

Osborne has been given the number six shirt.
Is that a significant gesture or are shirt numbers meaningless with regards to management intent?
If it's not meaningless it's a bit worrying isn't it?

Brockbank had 3 last year so I wouldn't read too much into it.

I suspect he was asked to give the number 10 shirt to Cricky and was told he could have the pick of a few other numbers if he did so.

The academy lads got numbers under 20 last year and I don't think started a conference game.

Film was very disappointing; however the book of the same name is a superb read - and very relatable.

We're a team of spells; so with the influx of new players, I don't see that changing. Top half due to less goals conceeded.

Quarry Bank has plenty of memorabilia on the walls

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Whose for the drop?

I suppose people always start with the part-time teams by default - Dorking, Maidenhead, Wealdstone - but I'm sure they'll have the capacity to surprise like usual.

Rochdale will be OK - they just got rid of Jim Bentley far too late, their end-of-season form was OK, manager knows the team well, and most of them have stayed (Toby wasn't playing for most of that period either). Harvey Gilmour from Halifax is a tidy signing too.

Solihull seem to be in a mess, but apart from that most of the contenders still seem to be southern - the above plus maybe Aldershot - possibly Dagenham to slip back?

Ebbsfleet should probably do well, and Fylde will probably be OK - not sure about Kidderminster and Oxford.

Halifax still have plenty of quality in their ranks, so I'm surprised to see them included in so many people's suggestions.

Untill the last week of March they were going down. They beat Aldershot on a heavy pitch, then a pop shot on Saturday saw them in the final. Suddenly every player showed up.

Losing to us would have relegated them

Its always hard to predict who will do what at this time of year.
My candidates most likely to be down there would be;
Oxford, Kiddy, Maidenhead, Rochdale
Not sure about Fylde or Ebbsfleet or Southend.
If we dont gel quickly I could see us flirting as well, but expect Wealdstone, Dorking and Hartlepool to do better than some think.

We will know more in a few weeks !

Think Dorking will get found out; and it'll test the managers experience (or lack of it) to get them out of that rut. Whilst they may surprise the new comers, I would expect most club to understand how to beat them (us really included). That away game was a shambles.

Anyone could go up or down; with the exception of a few in each category.

It's as open at either end as its ever been.

Gun to my head:

Down: York, Dorking, Maidstone and Aldershot
Relegation battle: Halifax, Oxford, Solihull

Playoffs: Boreham Wood, Barnet, Gateshead, Chesterfield and 2 others
Up: Woking

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: New signings
« on: June 25, 2023, 09:10:36 PM »
Compared to most, I think I'm still on the cautiously optimistic side.

It's all well and good signing specific players for specific jobs... but they still have to be quite good at football. United signed Weghorst to fulfil a specific job, and it just turned out he was pretty rubbish in general.

At this level you can't avoid having one or two complete flops, and I'm afraid this coming season will be no different.

The last time we recruited at volume, en masse... it was Neil Young at the start of THAT season. It might be a ridiculous comparison point, but I remember many praising him getting business done early and knowing his targets.

How manu of those players had played CN football. And how many could buy a pint in USA.

Last season recruitment was akin to NY

Roscoe or Byrne for me. But would give Kosy a nod in the form or VC.
