Altrincham FC First Team / Wealdstone Match Thread
« on: March 25, 2024, 09:31:40 AM »
Cooper had a bad game on Sat, maybe still has hamstring issues. Could start Banks as right CB.

                         Ross

Donawa      Banks     Baines     Jones

                Osborne   Wilson

Amaluzor           CCC           Newby

                        Linney


Got to be starting Linney, with CCC back as 10.


If Amaluzor is still injured then either Kossy or Mooney.


Subs : Mooney, Kossy, Roscoe, Hancox & Cooper

Altrincham FC First Team / Loans needed
« on: February 27, 2024, 09:44:13 PM »
Parky needs to give his head a wobble. All his rotating and overthinking has really messed things up. There have been some terrible decisions made.

Lack of movement and strength up top tonight was very obvious.

We played our best CM at right wingback. Terrible decision to loan out Donawa.

Wrong team selections are resulting in us chasing games, which is even more draining on the players. Having to constantly attack at every opportunity.

Play your best team and formation. Get in front, retain the possession and choose your counterattacks. Making the opposition work.What Parky is currently doing is running our players into the ground.

The season is rapidly fizzling out. Need to dip into the loan market ASAP.Priority is a young hungry striker to push Linney, CM and FB cover.

An update on Ross and Amaluzor would be appreciated.

Get in touch with United.

Altrincham FC First Team / Pitch
« on: February 06, 2024, 06:25:26 PM »
Not having that a high water table is the reason why the game was called off today.

Need an official update from the club.

What are the issues with the pitch?

With the pitch guarantee, was it 10 years? Does it include repairs, because it is clearly not draining as it should.

Have the club investigated the local water drainage from the ground for a mile or 2. Could be a blockage further away from the ground, restricting flow……

Why are we advertising that we were confident the game was going ahead and no update until just before 5.

Has the sprinkler pipes been checked?could be a leak there…

180k on a pitch and it is really poor, after only 2 seasons.

Altrincham FC First Team / Chesterfield Match Thread
« on: January 14, 2024, 03:50:59 PM »
After yesterday, we need a result.

I hope we get at them from the whistle. High tempo and positive.

Hopefully, PP is brave and we start our best 11 and formation.

We dramatically reduce our threat, when we play wingbacks and Chesterfield would eventually pick us off.

Team near enough picks itself.

                    Linney

Think he will start Cooper over Roscoe because he likes right and left foot CB’s. I have been impressed with Roscoe recently, wins a lot of headers. I personally would have him and Baines on Tuesday.

Amaluzor is due a good game, can go missing in away games.

Think it will be a draw.

Altrincham FC First Team / People’s mid season first 11
« on: December 29, 2023, 12:24:04 PM »
What are people’s first 11?

If we had everyone fit and playing at their best.

Excluding loan players and Crankshaw.

For me…..

                     Ross

Donawa    J.Jones     Baines    E.Jones

              Marriott  Osborne

Amaluzor          CCC             Kossy

                    Linney

Subs :Cooper/Roscoe, Banks, Angus, Mooney, Wilson

J.Jones just beats Cooper, but needs to hit the standards that he was playing in the second half of last season.

If given a run of games and can keep fit, Donawa could become our first choice RB. Would bring more to the team,in my opinion, especially overlapping the winger.

Kossy, just over Mooney. My only concern with Kossy is whether he can ever get back to his best and his best was in the 10 position and that position belongs to CCC.

Going early, as tomorrow is always mayhem.

Praying Ross will be fit.

Guessing Osbourne is banned for this game? Short in CM and FB positions.

Got to be starting Linney up top tomorrow.

Would also give Donawa a run at RB, if fit. Thought both Banks and Dackers had a poor game yesterday.

                     Ross

Donawa    Cooper     Baines     Jones

Donawa  Cooper  Baines Jones

            Osbourne  Marriott

Newby           CCC       Amaluzor
   
                      Linney

Need more pace and threat up top.

Personally,  and if available, still feel Donawa should be our right back. Defends equally to Banks, but attacks much better.

Amaluzor on his more natural side.

Need to be positive, have full-backs overlapping and get numbers into the box.

There is no reason why we can't take all 3 points. Just need to be more brave than Saturday.

Banging them in for Chester.

Only 20. Strong and direct striker.

More than happy with Linney but looks a real prospect.

What I really liked about Parky in previous seasons, is that he just played every game with his best 11 and formation. Now he talks about adapting to teams, he said it again after yesterday and that is a worry.
It is so clear we are much better with an attacking front 4. We can be a playoff team.
When we have become defensive, wingbacks etc we have conceded quite a few goals and look disorganised.
Keep attacking teams, let them worry about us. We beat the best team in the division, Chesterfield, playing that way for the entire 90 mins.

                                     Ross

Donowa     Cooper/Roscoe    Baines     E.Jones

                  Osborne       Marriott

Amaluzor                CCC                 Newby
     
                             Sithole

I would start Sithole for the higher press. The above team has loads of pace and would destroy opposition on the counter.

Really believe Donawa can be that RB we have missed since Senior. He is actually decent at defending, bags of pace and overlaps, which Banks doesn't do. Him and Amaluzor on one side is frightening.

Concern is Osborne picked up a knock and J Jones has to start. Really short in CM.

Hopefully we continue to be positive.

Altrincham FC First Team / Injuries
« on: September 13, 2023, 11:56:28 AM »
We have terrible luck with injuries. Gutted.
Linney and Crankshaw are massive losses.
We will need to replace both, or we will drop off.
Angus is good but we need someone more busy and direct.
I am happy with Amaluzor as a starter, but now we are another winger short.
CM needs strengthening, Joey Jones is a big worry.
Will be unexpected cost but will need to get some quality in, otherwise the season will become just an average one, or worst, relegation fight.

Altrincham FC First Team / Playoffs
« on: August 28, 2023, 08:52:06 PM »
We should be aiming for the playoffs this season.

The only thing, which I think will stop us, is the depth of the squad.

We are already having to convert to 5 at the back and 4 CM's in games, just because we have two wide players injured. We look even more vulnerable and disjointed when we play this formation.

I appreciate Parky stated a lot of playing budget has already gone into this current squad and you can see the quality, but I am sure I heard part of the new investment will be used towards playing operations.

If we are not planning on signing any more players until Jan then we need to dip into the loan market. Turn draws into wins by being positive.

I am happy with the fact we are unbeaten but also feel we have dropped a load of points, because of poor game management, we don't see games out. Sit back in this league and you get punished.

Just using a couple of last year loan players, as examples, if we had Maxi and Sinclair to bring on at 2 nil today and Parky was brave and doesn't remain defensive ( which we are terrible at doing ) then we would have had 3 points.

Same if we started our strongest formation against York, we would have won .

We go toe to toe with Woking and Chesterfield, attacking, in our best formation and we pick up 6 points.

If we do play 5 ( 3 cbs and wingbacks) then at least have 3 attacking players on the pitch.

Love the area.

But, in reality we want more fans in the ground so we need  1 hut for food and 2 huts for beer to sustain the demand.

If it can't be done, just keep both for ale.

Would be great to have both but money wise, two huts pouring pints would make the money and less queuing.

Going early.

Felt like we missed out on 3 points last night by starting out so defensive with three CB's and three CM's in the 11.

In the first half we looked all over the place at times and invited pressure from an average York side.

I think Managers can over think tactics. Even with the taller players we didn't defend well.

We have quality attacking players, so let teams think about us.

Back to our current best 11 and formation.

                                Ross

Banks       J.Jones        Baines      E.Jones

                      Osborne    Marriott

Amaluzor              CCC              Kossy

                             Linney

Hopefully get Donawa back soon.

One of the first to criticise Osborne but he was excellent last night. He was positive, with forward passing and wanting the ball.
