[AFC56]

Time for a few to step up and show their mettle in the next three games. When the tide is with us we play some terrific stuff but what has worried me in the last few games has been the lack of leadership on the pitch. Ethan Ross is such a massive loss , not only for his goalkeeping but for his leadership qualities. Haven’t seen one bollocking on the pitch since his spell out of the team.

agree

It looks like we have an excellent first 11 and not a lot else. Yes, Ethan's loss has been huge, but also losing Justin hasn't helped.

Also agree.

As mentioned above, Ethan is a leader, who the defenders trust. No coincidence we have let in so many goals in his absence. Gives the defence huge confidence.

This extends to the mangement team. Some strong leadership is needed here too.

PP is still learning his craft and this is only his third season managing at this level. The same players were on top of their game a month ago, getting them back on track is as much his responsibility (if not more) than the team captain or goalkeeper.

I’m writing this year off as a realistic attempt at promotion. I hate to think what might happen to us (on current form) in the play offs if we made it.

Still, you never know…

We are not quite there yet as a team for Div 2. I would like to see at least 5 more good players added to the squad for next year plus some of the current squad do need to be moved on. This season has not been a disaster by a long chalk. Yes the learning curve has got steeper of late but perhaps that will turn out to be no bad thing in the bigger picture going forward. Yes we need another considerable injection of cash but as a progressive club that isn’t beyond the realms of possibilities.

I will be there on Tues night and I am sure the rest of the Alty fans will also be there also to give the lads’ support.
