Going early, as tomorrow is always mayhem.

Praying Ross will be fit.

Guessing Osbourne is banned for this game? Short in CM and FB positions.

Got to be starting Linney up top tomorrow.

Would also give Donawa a run at RB, if fit. Thought both Banks and Dackers had a poor game yesterday.

                     Ross

Donawa    Cooper     Baines     Jones

                Marriott    Wilson

Amaluzor        CCC          Newby

                    Linney

Subs : CB, Kossy, Mooney, Dackers & Banks

Just seen that E.Jones is going to be out for a while….. anyone know what the injury is? Big loss

Bringing another 7 to this game on Boxing Day. Not been to Boxing Day game for a few years now, usually a pub session in the afternoon, but having one at the club now.

Halifax are one of those odd teams who seem to do much better away from home but we have a v strong home record so something will have to give. The injuries & suspensions we have in defence/midfield are a concern so we will have to be clinical with our finishing I think (unlike Fylde home game for example) as Halifax play a dour style & don’t give much away.

I foresee either a 1-1 draw or a 2-1 home win. Not much in it as usual because both clubs know each other so well. Forecast mild with no chance of rain which will be a relief to all concerned. I reckon the attendance will surpass last years 3,008 as we are doing much better in the league this year, I reckon 3,500ish with 5-600 grumpy Yorkshire folk in the away end.

[CRT Butty]

Me plus 5 will be on the Golf Road.

2 1 Alty win.

[MarpleAlty]

We definitely have to start with proper full backs in my opinion

Brockbank was on the bench on Saturday, so hopefully he'll be deemed fit enough ti be able to start - with Lewis Banks returning to right back instead.

Alli is  becoming our nemesis

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 😂

[MarpleAlty]

Manager's got this one badly wrong - what's he playing at?! Trying to be far too clever and it's absolutely no surprise we look so incoherent.

Kosylo at right back
Banks at centre back
Baines at left back
Amaluzor left wing
Newby no10
Chris Conn-Clarke right wing

That's over half the team out of position - I don't understand what he's trying to do, and neither do the players from the looks of things. An absolute shambles so far.

[Wilmslow Alty]

Brockbank coming on.

[Wilmslow Alty]

Switched to 4-2-3-1

It's not often Parky gets it wrong. Hopefully a one off. Well played Halifax; always in control and wanted it more. Could and should have been more.

Yeah, they were first to everything, stronger and deserved to win by more than a one goal margin. We looked like a patched up side and missed Osbourne in CM. Too many players were way off it today, unfortunately.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Well, that was abject. Easily our worst performance of the season, to my eyes.

We managed merely three shots on target, and the first of those didn't arrive until the 74th minute. The other two came in additional time.

You just got a sense that the players were not comfortable with whatever system we were set up to play. The absence of two key individuals simply served to illustrate that the depth of our squad was found wanting.

Halifax were sharper, better organised and fully warranted their victory.

I do wonder whether Ross' mobility had been hampered by Michael Cheek clattering him in the ribs during that second half at Bromley. That opening goal looked like rather a soft one to concede and was redolent of some of Byrne's mishaps last season.

Amaluzor looked totally off the pace; Kosylo was fortunate not to be sent off for a dreadful challenge; Conn-Clarke and Newby struggled to impose themselves on the game and Dackers failed to impress, once again (he doesn't merit his starting place, in my view, and it looks as if he might have peaked 14 minutes into his debut).

I think that I would have quietly retired that man of the match award today!

The sole consolation was the attendance of in excess of 3,900 (without the massive away following of a Stockport or Wrexham).

An afternoon to banish from the memory.
