Im sorry everybody, but i cant see how Mcniven playing would have made any difference at all tonight.
Altrincham set up with 3 center backs and 3 central midfielders to out number us through the middle. they played wingbacks who had no other instruction other than follow Thompson and curtis around like a second skin. add this to an absolutely outstanding workrate to close down space and you have to say it was a well deserved 3 points for the away side.
Tactically we did nothing wrong, we kept trying to do the right things, we worked the full width of the pitch time and time again. good movement and a good tempo in the second half.
At times we lacked composure and quality, but its not the end of the world.
We can actually take a big positive from tonights game, we can look at the Altrincham players performance, and copy their heart and desire for our remaining fixtures.
