Altrincham FC First Team / Re: We Don't seem to Score Headers Anymore

I think CTE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy might play a part in why we don't see them as much, players don't practice them for fear of the long term effects so are less adept at them these days.

I'm not against it though with the increase in quality FOOTball is now being played.

Lots of departures at Gateshead with several loans recalled and Stephen Wearne sold to MK Dons.

Suffering greatly from our issues last season. I do feel for them in that regard. It was also on the cards that at least one if not a few of the players would follow Williamson over to MK Dons. Olley and Booty were the top of my list though.

Alternatively, it's one less playoff rival so excellent.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Barnet (H) Match Thread
« on: January 07, 2024, 12:31:47 PM »
I actually thought Barnet shaded things in the first half but we defended resolutely, restricting them to half chances - and the timing of each of our goals couldn't have been sweeter in terms of helping us manage the game.

The team does seem to be evolving from the one that let the Fylde game go, for example - our best period by a country mile was 45-60 when we scored what proved to be the crucial third goal - and during that period, as others have stated, there should have been more.

We also seemed to be happy to go long with the goal kicks after it was clear the shorter ones were inviting too much pressure - again, something I don't think we would have seen earlier in the season.

Regan might not be sharp in front of goal just yet, but he plays the number 9 role like Jordan did and we're a completely different proposition with him leading the line. I've missed seeing Dan Mooney's combative game too, he doesn't give up on anything.

Shame Ethan made a bad mistake by his standards to set the tone for a nervy final 20 minutes.

Basically all of this. I thought as we took Mooney off that we might see this go the wrong way for some reason, he was battling all day.

We should have won 7-0 but in the same regard if the Barnet forwards had actually hit the target it could have been 0-2 at half time. Amazing they found the corner so precisely with the first goal.

CCC turning every Barnet player inside out was magical, and a two games sharper regan scores his chances as well.

Another standard win for a comfortably play off challenging team overall though.

Kosylo is a liability for 90 mins against his former team. Terrible way to get his first yellow and a complete rush of blood to the head for the second.

Up hill from here

Ross

Banks, Cooper, Bainer, Jones

Osbourne, Marriott

Amaluzor, CCC, Newby

Linney


That's our best team, Crankshaw for Newby if we're talking permanent players all fit.

I think this is the first year I've got to this stage in the season and I have been happy if we didn't change a single player in that line up.

I still think Linney is a better striker than Langstaff eventually, and he's still banging them in for fun in league 2, hat trick before half time tonight. We unlock that final ball more and we'll see it.

If I'm Phill I'm not binning off a near 10 year project for 6 months in a smaller stadium in the league above.

I agree with cult, but a slight correction on the first goal, I don't think he saw much of it and there seemed to be a deflection from the view of the camera.

Brockback looked strong when he came on defensively, which is a positive sign. Wilson also seemed to be better in the middle, in his preferred area of the park. Unlike everyone else who were trying to fit in to a different scheme.

Square peg round holing it rarely works, but injuries are a problem at the moment.

Alli is  becoming our nemesis
Quite. In football manager I buy those players then make them rot in the youth team. I think it's worth it with him in real life 😂

Also wanted to mention the pitch. Some of the weirdest bounces in that game and it can only be because of the way the ball interacts with all those rubber bits. I still can't decide though if I dislike this or a winter quagmire to play on.

Erm, just watched the highlights.   Their long throw on their first goal looks like a foul throw to me.  No one has mentioned it at all so I guess I’m wrong??!!  Any refs out there?
Good spot, I'm pretty sure the player's momentum can't bring them in to the field of play.

Not that I think we deserved any more yesterday. We were actually pretty bad in parts yesterday and in previous years that would have been another loss we put down as the reason we're not making a playoffs push. Yesterday we did what we've done a lot this year stolen points we don't deserve... I love it.

ah f**k him (until he scores the winner in the playoff/trophy final) 😏

In all seriousness, I'm always happy we make improvements to the squad and Dan is definitely that.

The Alty TV interview was pretty much what I would expect in this situation as well.

Finally, 24? Are we certain we haven't signed the non league Taribo West?

I thought about that crowd comment. I dunno how I feel about that sort of comment coming from an ex-player at all. In fact, I have nothing against any recent ex-players apart from him and Mullarky. That says something.

It will take some humility to do an interview with Alty TV and back track those comments.

IF he is on his way back.
I think I'm right in saying that the comment about DM wanting to play in front of bigger crowds was something PP said rather than Mooney himself. In which case, I don't think it should be held against him.
He said it, in an interview with Echo News - https://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/20262370.size-club-led-dan-mooney-choosing-southend-united/

He chased success rather than committing to it. It was never a good sign to be honest, especially when all the warning signs were already there at Southend.

Tbh, I even get Mullarky playing relegation team roulette in League 2 over Mooney's switch.

Just seen CCC’s goals from yesterday again! Extraordinary! He was quite absent in the game but like Parky says, he’s a match winner and can win any match with a moment or two of quality. Big shout out to Baines too who blocked a certain goal towards the end saving our 3 points.
I thought he was everywhere again on Saturday he's a part of most things and is invariably the pivot man for wider plays coming inside. He's a friggin' Rolls Royce though so sometimes it looks like he's strolling through games rather than racing.

That win was as much Ethans as it was CCC's.

Playoffs place at Christmas is it too soon to dream?
