Did I watch a different game to the rest of you on Saturday? Banks was the pick of our outfield players IMHO. I'd certainly start Humbles in place of Osborne, who has gone severely backwards, and I'd start Crankshaw and let him have at least an hour - Amaluzor is currently nowhere near his best.

Another abysmal showing. We now have 12 points from 10 matches, and that translates to an end of season tally of just 55. That's just three points more than Boreham Wood went down with last season. I can't be bothered to drag myself out on Tuesday evening - I'll stream it, because the match day experience has become less enjoyable. FFS I even had to stand up in the CSH pre-match because all the tables had disappeared, and a noisy kids' birthday did little for my mood.

I have a bad feeling about this one. Our record overall this season is frankly lamentable. We've only beaten Woking plus the bottom two clubs,and have only taken a single point from 4 matches against clubs currently in the top half of the table. On paper, Boston are the type of team we really should be taking 3 points from at home, but I can see things being far from clear cut, especially since the visits of both clubs to Sutton United show an 8-0 score differential in Boston's favour.

I agree with practically all of the foregoing, and have no interest at all at attending any of the games.

Dagenham are in town in 9 days time. They never allowed Gateshead any time on the ball, and we'll have to keep an eye on Junior Morias in particular. He may look as if he's been on Pie & Guinness Diet this summer, and he isn't particularly quick, but two goals, an assist, and winning a penalty testify that he's still a serious threat.

Also, Ethan's save possibly the best I've seen by an Alty keeper ever. Certainly in the top 5. Superb

For me that accolade remains with England's Number One against Nuneaton in the Cup, but Ethan's was certainly in very top class.

We can win at Yeovil. 👍🇦🇹🤞

We SHOULD win at Yeovil, and we MUST if we're to stay clear of the relegation struggle.

I thought we were doing OK until we started making substitutions. It wasn't just Osborne - we seemed to totally lose our shape, and there were players out there who seemed uncertain what their role was.

I might have missed something but who was the lad Thompson who came on?

Remi Thompson is 22, and a former Man.U. and Huddersfield youth midfield player. He's been at Merstham, Waterford, Ashton United, and Padiham without staying long at any of them. He was signed on the eve of the new season, and one must assume PP has seen something that others have missed.

Altrincham FC First Team / Today's live stream
« on: September 07, 2024, 10:32:45 PM »
I wasn't feeling at my best today and opted to stay at home and watch the live stream. The pictures were excellent, and the commentary would have been if both microphones were set at the same level - but I could barely hear Jonny unless I turned the volume up, and that made Paul so loud that I'm surprised my downstairs neighbour didn't bang on her ceiling. I've noticed this phenomenon before on RR. Quite what the Ebbsfleet fans watching at their ground made of it I can only guess - but there will be more live streaming to come, and surely this shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

I won't attempt to sugar the pill. I thought we were absolutely abject against mediocre opposition. Nuttall would struggle in the Northern Premier League, Haygarth might barely cope in National North. The penalty was absolutely naive and totally unnecessary. Reddin was the one bright spot as we plumbed depths of ineptitude that put me in mind of Neil Young's tenure. I won't be streaming it on Monday, let alone trekking all the way to Veganville. And I'm away next weekend so won't see the Oldham game. There will need to signs of improvement before I bother again.

I do remember "Cock o'the North Robins" on t-shirts at Maine Road for the Tottenham game! 👍

We should have had one reading "Cockup of the North" after Neil Young's disastrous spell in charge.

Totally disagree about Nuttall? ran his socks off and split the 11 men constantly and was kept on until late on. Linney or similar wound have provided the same cover. Try running a forward line on your own, win the balls he did and provide the service he did! Hats off to you Joe, a great debut! Keep building and understanding!

Ran his socks off? From where Nom de Plume, Hash, and I were watching on the popular side the unanimous opinion was that he had very little pace or mobility. He can only improve - and he needs to.

I would be less inclined to complain about the red card for Eddy if the referee had manned up and sent off Gorman for launching himself at him and grabbing him by the throat. In what parallel universe is that a yellow card offence? And when the little scumbag did leave the field for a second yellow, by the yardstick the referee used to dismiss Eddy, then that should equally have been a straight red. Woking were incredibly poor, and will be down at the wrong end of the table soon enough.
