injuries to key players

summer recruitment

lack of a leader on the pitch

refs / unlucky

LS tactics / team selection

not getting loan players n early enough

the board appointing NT

[wayno]

Sinnott has done ok for me doubt he will stay any way

[Mick]

I put my post mortem in several weeks ago - and it is a sequence of events for me

Poor Summer recruitment in first place leaving us with a weak squad

Unlucky with injuries

Then failure to replace injured key players which I assume is down to having no money - I really doubt we would be in this position with a fit Dens, Clee and Marshall

If any of the above had not happened or in the latter case happened, then all the stuff with Lee Sinnott / Neil Tolson would not be an issue at the moment ie maybe no cause for LS to walk or need to find a replacement to salvage matters with ten games to go

[Jimmy]

So far this vote is being won by injuries,therefore are fans still don't find anybody accountable they just put it down to bad luck

[GB Alty]

Sinnott has done ok for me doubt he will stay any way

he may of done ok in a third bottom team, but he isn't good enough for conference national

Being ok is not enough at this level

And that is where the problem is, we started the season with an inept  manager after an inept summer of signings, that follwed by injuries which merely highlighted the dreadful summer recruitment which in turn wasn't dealt with early enough by a poor manager with no ideas who ultimately jumped ship because he was out of his depth. Leaving his feeble assistant to try and produce a miracle because he is a nice loyal guy and the chairmans friend

Farce of a club, many will not forgive the club for how they have let things come to this. Trust? Respect? You can decide

But the club is in a dreadful place now, and your crucified if you say so

Domino effect Jimmy. The injuries were the initial cause of our trouble.....without them the rest of the crap just might not have happened.

[Jimmy]

The squad was to small to cope with any injuries,so that is another reason the full backs this season have been a moderate midfielder and a man who has put on 3 stone

[im not really here]

The blame rests fairly and squarely at the board, or more importantly the Chairman. He/they let Sinnott go on for so out ng, then made 2 awful decisions, firstly letting Sinnott go before the end of season and secondly by effectively not replacing him. We have also not looked visibly for investment and so not moved forward as a club. Bill Waterson's plan is what should have been implemented following last  year's successful season or the one before and the board/club may have become stale. New ideas desperately needed.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

With the fixtures at the end of the season we would've got out of it if we picked a proper manager,Christ we might've stayed up with Sinnott

As it is, the league is so poor that even the Altrincham Fringe team are still in with a small shout of staying up

Very true.

The standard of this league has deteriorated markedly.

We've managed to scramble the meagre sum of merely six points out of a possible total of 24 since the unjustifiable promotion of Tolson and yet, somehow, all is not yet lost.

Halifax's defeat at Kidderminster was the only piece of good news last evening and they do face what looks to be a tough run-in including away games at Cheltenham and FGR respectively, a visit from play-off hopefuls Eastleigh and the finale of a home match against Macc.

On the sanguine premise that we can actually contrive to overcome Welling at the J Davidson Stadium, the prospect of us having to pray for a Macc victory on the final Saturday still exists.

Desperate times, indeed.

Indeed.................It's not looking good at all, but still the fat lady refuses to sing

A win against Welling and a point away, and if the other duffers continue their poor form...........who knows?

[distancetraveller]

of that list I would say the main reasons are
Poor Summer recruitment
No replacement early enough for the injuries

and one that wasn't on the list .... Not playing Damo Reeves enough.

[Jimmy]

On this vote it says the board for appointing Tolson,in reality it was Rowley and Rowley alone who made that appointment

If so then that makes it even worse. Why have a board...

[Jimmy]

Because we like having plenty of people in Alty ties in the social club that is bigger than it needs to be

If the board doesn't have a say in major decisions they aren't doing their job.

If they are then they got it wrong and all the blame should not fall on graham
