Burroughs  at right back ?

That's probably correct. For instance, I would have thought a factor in Lundstram moving to Oldham would have been, in his eyes, playing at a bigger club for much more money.
Not having a go at the lad, by the way, I don't really blame him. You only have one career.

Sure Rob Esteva did a pre season interview maybe through the club or the KOGR podcast where he said we were now about mid table in the budget league which sounds about right to me. You’d expect the bankrolled sides plus the recent EFL clubs to have more ££ than us still.

We made a bank rolled team look very ordinary. Some fantastic attacking play with Dackers making an excellent debut. Finishing was much more clinical.

Disappointed no clean sheet.

A brilliant win and to put 6 past a team in the top 6 was tremendous. That said, we're probably a bankrolled team these days too...

Good point Bob. Whenever [insert struggling L2 outfit here] sack their boss, someone on Twitter always pipes up ‘what about Parkinson (not the Wrexham one lol) doing it at Alty on a shoestring’. Which is clearly not the case anymore when you look at our signings & the clubs they are coming from. Not to decry what an excellent job Parky has done, but the reality is he does have a few quid to play with these days, which he has fully earned. But this poor little Alty myth is just that these days-good.

Also I do think there is a clear difference between clubs like say us & Woking who are traditionally at this level & have decent Fanbases & yesterdays opponents (plus Fylde & Boreham Wood for two more). These kind of sides have come from nowhere almost entirely due to large cash injections & there is a large degree of plastic here today, gone tomorrow about all 3 clubs. None of them have properly earned any of their relative success.

It would be interesting to know where our budget is relative to the rest of the clubs in the National League. Are we in the top 10? Top 12 maybe? We used to consistently be in the bottom 4 for budget which I’d guess is not the case anymore.

What's the situation with Ollie Byrne and Joey Jones? Could they be available?

Good shout re: Ollie Byrne, I suspect he'll be given a go in goal assuming there's no reason why he wouldn't be available.

I get the impression that Joey Jones might be a little while longer, but hopefully Matty Kosylo can feature a bit - and Regan Linney can be given his first start since returning.

Yes, think it will be a strong team tomorrow, as per Parky's post match interview against Stalybridge.

Should be a good game as they have a few x alty, Palmer and Wilkinson

After hearing Parky's post match interview, it appears he's worked with the forwards about that.

How refreshing was it to see players pull the trigger at every opportunity?
