Perhaps Coo is the best of what is available, would you prefer we signed nobody and went into the season with 15 men?

No, I'd prefer that we signed a better standard of player rather than just someone who will make up the numbers.

I'm sorry....but Cavell Coo is simply not up to the required standard.
So easily knocked off the ball.

As Ballers has commented, tonight's performance was a replica of so many games from last season.
We lacked creativity and any threat down the wings and made very few chances.

 

Do we run a pre-match sweepstake to see who is going to play at left full back?

Why is it the same price for a STAR member and a non-member?  I thought there was a discount for STAR members?  About the only benefit members get from their membership 

But never mind, it is still a far more co-operative and useful organisation than it used to be at one time with certain people running the show!   

Can't help but think that you are a little out of order with that last comment.

You may dislike certain individuals who represented STAR but they gave up a lot of their time to raise funds for Altrincham FC. 
Have you forgotten the successful Birmingham 20 event already?

Besides, as we are still awaiting Part II of the STAR AGM...I'm not quite sure who is elected to be "running the show" these days!

Agree with you that Warren struggled today. But hey Cult, you forgot to mention our left winger, who ran their full back a merry dance.

I don't have a problem with Chris Senior as a left winger, as he gives us some much-needed pace down the flank.
It's just that I don't regard him as a central striker and still believe that we need another option in that department.

That was a very attacking formation that we began with against Rotherham.....and I doubt that we'd start any away games with both Potts and Senior out on the wings!

Just wish that we could unearth a proper left back in order to free up Peyton for potential midfield duties.

So who was the odd one out then?

Of the 12 players who featured in the first of the Tottenham FA Cup ties, only John Owens and Barry Howard were clean shaven.

I would have thought we were probably rather tach heavy in those days?!?

You're not wrong!

Just dug out the programme from the 1979 FA Cup tie against Tottenham and the Alty team photograph shows the following players with facial hair:

Stan Allan (moustache);
Jeff Johnson (moustache);
Mal Bailey (beard);
Peter Eales (beard);
Graham Heathcote (moustache);
Mickey Brooke (beard);
John Rogers (moustache);
John King (beard);
John Davison (moustache);
Ivan Crossley (beard).

Have Alty ever fielded a more hirsute team?!

If the statement "About the ony benefit members get from their membership" is not a political one I don't know what it is. It certainly isn't a factual one, since the main benefit you get from being a member of STAR is the knowledge that your membership fee is helping the club.

But on that basis, surely I could simply achieve the same warm feeling by just giving the club a £10.00 note each season instead and not even bother to renew my STAR Membership?

I have to say that I am confused about exactly what STAR offers these days (and, yes, I am still a member!).

Any guidance?
