MK would definitely be though of as south. i went to work near oxford many years ago and they were appalled that i thought it was the midlands.
Probably down to a touch of geographical snobbery.

Same lineup for me, Sithole won’t be fit just yet, use him as a sub by all means.. the rest of the team I would leave well alone for now.
Alty 3 -1 Dorking.

Definitely the best. No doubt at all.
Haha there's no chance Parky's taking a job in the south
I'd actually assumed Williamson had been Newcastle born and bred, which is why I thought he'd go to a Yorkshire club if anything - but it seems he's been all over.
I bet he would go South if the right offer from a bigger club in a higher league came a calling, who would blame him.

I was hoping we had seen the last of the over cautious passing back formula that was to the forefront last season but sadly it returned with a vengeance yesterday.. we are never as good when we take an age to get the ball forward. One day the penny will drop. We have played some cracking games this season by not playing the way we did yesterday

« on: October 14, 2023, 09:33:58 PM »Not that bothered about losing a cup match we are never going to win, romantic yes, but with our good start to the season I would rather get 3 points at Boundary Park in a fortnight and maybe a good run in the trophy.
Dorking up next followed by Kiddy both winnable to keep us on track.
Not sure giving up half the ground to away fans is the way ahead to be frank. It’s not ALL about money folks.
The view from the pop side for home fans wasn’t good unless you are 6’ 4”
The tannoy needs adjusting or the bloke who operates it does…
Marriott was MoM
Isaac Marriott was definitely MOM. I couldn't believe it when Amaluzor was announced - they must just let the nearest young kid to the microphone pluck a name out of thin air.
Their additional squad depth definitely helped - they cranked it up a gear when Reid came on, and the goal followed a sustained period of pressure from them - we had nothing to turn to ourselves.
Although - that said - not sure what Sithole's meant to do with 5 minutes plus stoppages.
I do fear that, when Chris Conn-Clarke doesn't show up, we don't show up - the lad can't have a worldy every week, and he obviously can't do it all on his own. I agree that Newby was the only one that looked sharp, and the other three forwards were well off it.
Probably a good reality check, and a reset going into two winnable home games.
I think the matchday sponsors choose the MoM.

I wasn’t aware that Tom Jones was a striker, to me he seems to need to be a bit stronger but glad to see him having an outing. He has a lot of competition in his position so can see him going out on loan once the injury list gets a bit better.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Alty's youngest player in a competitive match?
« on: October 11, 2023, 04:13:46 PM »
Possibly recorded in last evening's Cheshire Senior Cup tie.
In the post-match interview with acting-manager Ross Speight, he mentions that the substitutes Jack Chandler and Harrison Howells are both aged 16.
So, the question now remains: which one is the younger of the two..?
I believe that Harrison Howells is just 16…

« on: October 10, 2023, 11:42:00 PM »Can we class that as 6 in a row and 8 unbeaten???
Indeed we can. Won on pens but still a win.
It was Good to see the young lads representing Alty, as a couple of seniors guiding them through.A good experience and hopefully a start of a flourishing career.
381 souls watching.
We sat in the main stand for the first half. Not for me, far too many people walking about. Much better when we stood up in the second half
Well done

« on: October 10, 2023, 11:32:57 AM »Just seen PP post Gateshead interview. I think even PP and Neil are having a night off but will be there obviously taking notes etc, , I think reserve team manager and other team coaches will be running it Young lads given a go plus a couple of trialists, plus fringe first team players such as Tom Jones, Owen German etc will get a chance. Phil is using this game as an opportunity to give experience and bring on the development throughout which I think is a good ideaBased on that interview bought tickets for tomorrow, now 47 sold!! Thats poor, though some will pay cash I guess.
I like to see the young lads and fringe players get a run out and I’m one of the few who watch The CSC.
If you watch the Managers interview the camera framing made it look like PP has an Afro but in actual fact it was a Tree behind him.. Quite amusing. Good interview as well.
We are going to pay on the gate so two more on the total.
