I'm impressed with everyone's optimism here but I'm struggling to find many positives with losing one of the most exciting players I've ever seen here. Especially at a point when the team was racing up the table.

Agree entirely.

As things stand, we face the prospect of starting February having lost Newby (four goals); Colclough (seven goals) and Conn-Clarke (eight goals, to date).

That leaves us with Dinanga (6 goals - three of which were scored against Gateshead and one came against ultra porous Dorking! Hasn't scored since 22nd October); Hulme (two goals); Jennings (one goal) and the elusive Kaja (one goal).

Our creative and goalscoring departments are going to need some very shrewd acquisitions ASAP.

A very one-sided game that in typical Alty style we failed to win convincingly.

One downside of the evening was the behaviour of some of our supporters - the bunch of kids behind the goal shouting relentless, tedious and crude abuse at the Curzon keeper can perhaps be forgiven due to their age. However, the blokes who nicked the Curzon flag at half time really should have a word with themselves. It’s a shame that the stewards didn’t seem interested when they were pointed out, despite the repeated PA announcements on the subject.

Looks like the lads all went out on their Christmas do afterwards. Hope they had a good night.

Also heartwarming to see a few alumni (Thommo, Dens, Connor, Andy White, Ringo) out in town together too - once a Robin, always a Robin.

Nobody spiked Tonys drink I hope.

From reading this fascinating thread, it occurs to me that the board's next project should comprise the construction of a crèche.

Amsterdam Alty sounds the ideal candidate to entertain all of the ebullient poppets now attending the JDS, as I suspect that he is a dab hand at making balloon animals.

Just to respond to Bob's very fair and measured post, it is not difference of opinion that I have any issue with, it is the damaging tone of some of the topics on here that bothers me. Some fans on here would doubtless see us go back to crowds of 600 and regional, part-time football.

Of course, all is subjective and this does not apply to all posts or users.

What you say about the very narrow demographic of users on here is spot on, where as many fans have moved on to talking about Alty via other means, there will be equally as much disagreement but it is more balanced out by a wider range of views.
