Grey to stay.

Great result. Sounded more dangerous when Peers came on.

Looking forward to Tuesday.
Rather like Boxing Day, we should have won by a bigger margin. Leamington fans I spoke to were very complimentary. They certainly missed Marsh, who signed for Forest Green yesterday for £25K. He'd scored 24 of their 51 goals in all competitions this season. Beautifully worked goal, and our third clean sheet from four games.

Onwards and upwards, a playoff spot looks increasingly within our grasp.

Their players weren't exactly surrounding the ref. For me it wasn't a red but he should know what happens next by now.

Having commented on another thread about Aaron Cresswell's red card that was overturned by VAR,  I have to say that this is not dissimilar. Even a yellow for Max's challenge would have been harsh. He isn't off the ground, isn't out of control, and wins the ball.

On the other hand Macc have a habit of escaping from grim situations.

Suspect they will this time.......relegated, but a new saviour at the helm

It's woodlouse syndrome. You lift the stone, the woodlice are there. You put the stone back - some months later you lift the stone, and the buggers are still there.

We're certainly good enough to make the playoffs, and there isn't a team in this league that we should fear. The one team I would nonetheless prefer to avoid are Brackley.

Momentum is so important in football. We haven't always been brilliant over the holiday season, but we've come out of it with 9 points and two clean sheets.

Last time, we produced the poorest 45 minutes of our season in the first half at the New Windmill, and never looked like recovering from three goals down.

Hopefully we'll be sickness-free by Saturday, and can end the Brakes' five game unbeaten home run. I take us to battle our way to three more points.

Don't be sarcy. You should know full well by now that a two footed off the ground tackle that take the player out (if that's what it was) is going to get a player sent off even if the ball end up tucked up his shirt.

Sorry - no personal slight intended. But having just watched the Cresswell incident at West Ham, where VAR overturned the red card and it was changed to a yellow, the emphasis on that change seemed to be placed on how much of the ball he got.

I was a long way from Max's challenge, so I'll not comment until I see Alty TV.

I think you're being less than kind to Curzon. They were far better than we saw at their place, and certainly gave us a tougher test than many clubs who've been to Moss Lane this season.

Whether Max got the ball or not makes no difference. It's the nature of the tackle that matters. Why people still bang on about getting ball baffles me.
Sometime when I've got a few hours to spare, you can educate me on how to interpret "the nature of a tackle". Most of the referees we see at this level have enough trouble spotting the obviously malicious stuff, without having to give marks for artistic merit every time somebody makes a challenge.

100% agree pal maybe some new signage detailing general prices rather than above the gate.

Absolutely ! Since we hand out tickets anyway, it doesn't really matter which turnstile is used.

White didn't look so bad when he went off tbh. Having said that, Connor did brilliantly when he came on and we should keep the same 11 that started the second half.
Wall, Peers and Taylor makes for a very lopsided bench however and it wouldn't surprise me to see a reinforcement or two brought in very soon.
For Taylor read Walker  ;)

As well as being an absolute fount of football knowledge, Mike was the only man I knew who had seen Arsene Wenger play. RIP.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Southport Match Thread
« on: December 28, 2019, 05:57:46 PM »
For 20 minutes or so I was convinced we would lose. Southport pressed us high up the field, and to lose Williams and White pointed to a very difficult afternoon. We ended the half strongly though, and once JJ scored the likely winner of Goal of the Season we were always going to win.

Harrop was booked for what looked a fair challenge, and I assume he was pulled to avoid a second yellow. He was becoming increasingly influential and it was a pity he had to come off.

Although there were obvious reasons for JJ to be MOM, I'd have given it to Hulme, who terrorised both their centre backs, worked his socks off for the whole match, and created so much space for his team mates. His best performance of the season for me.

We will finish in a play-off position and inevitably face another visit to Chester.



That wouldn't worry me (well, not on the pitch), but going to Brackley just might !
