Why do YOU think Sinnott started this duffer today.
I haven't a clue because Duncan did not appear to have any problems. >:( >:(
-
Just to give you something to criticise him for.
-
so you and lee could have something in common VofD; you are both now clueless!!! ;D ;D ;D

Cos its April Fools Day?

It shows on the striker front as we all know there is not a great PlanB, needs to be corrected for next season.

I reckon Lawrie down the middle with Reevesy and Buzz left mid would've been a better bet but I suppose LS wanted to have someone who could hold it up which Brooke can do. Must admit I thought Lee was up to some tactical masterplan and "Duncan's got a knock and Nicky has a virus" was a bit of a cover. If we'd started with those two and had a go I reckon we could've won. Tragically for me (and him of course) I had a chat with the manager in the car park after the game who said exactly the same. By all accounts Duncan would've come off much earlier vs Vauxhall if we'd been winning and Nicky shouldn't really have been playing at all but insisted. So apologies due and here's to 3 points at Halifax.

Thank God someone has spoken to him and he has confirmed that was the situation.
People might have wanted to see doctors note to prove it otherwise or brought him in front of some sort of forum jury.
Can't believe there were people sat in that great support fuming at a big cover up that never was.
-
I also presume with the resources Chester have that they have had us watched and that he probably wanted to give them something different to think about. Although we lost I think we had a fair crack second half and they didn't steam roller us considering they're 5425643 points ahead at top. Just one if those teams that has two chances and scores them both. Our season won't be based on this game, onwards to Saturday ....

Disappointing performance Leather and Richman excellent not much else to shout about however still think we will make playoffs
-
Well i guess you guys didnt listen to Radio Robins.
Watmore was injured and was advised to play 20 minutes at the most. He came on little earlier than expected as we needed something. Clee was also suffering from a virus.
I wonder what people would have done in the same situation? I think there are only one or two possibilities really.
It just goes to show that critising the manager / players without knowledge of the situation does indeed sometimes backfire on the poster.

Confirm that Duncan has struggled all weekend with a knock and wouldn't have made 90 mins without putting Halifax, Guiseley etc at risk. Lee made the right call and got 20 mins out of him. His balance was affected as was seen when he slipped during a "trademark run". With Ben Mills injured I think Ryan Brooke will be needed in the run in. Probably not a popular comment, but I think we should cut him some slack. He's young, does well in training by all accounts, and popular with the other players. He did OK today, and we should be trying to give him the confidence to play whatever part in the run in he may be needed for. Whether he is right for the future is a decision for another day. Finally, I know Chester thought they were in a real game today and if one of the two equalizing chances in second half had gone in, who knows what might have happened. Performance better than result, but against the runaway champions a result was always tough, so what we need is more of the same performance, starting with Halifax on Sat.

Agree Jimmy, thought Luca played well again as well.
So frustrating that if we could have started with the team that started against Vauxhall with Richman for Moult I know we could have got something.
-
To be fair people who criticised were probably just thinking about previous times when Duncan was dropped rested which have cost us points yes he probably had a knock

Have to disagree about Luca after an excellent month he had a off day but with a fit Watmore and clee could got something I agree

Disappointing performance? Are you serious? What were you watching? We were playing a Chester team that hasn't lost at home, and without two of our most important first team choices. So some of Densmore's and Lawrie's passes went straight to the opposition, but they always do. That was the most committed I've seen an Altrincham team this season. I can't remember the last time I saw them win so many 50/50 balls. To say that was a disappointing performance takes no account of the opposition they were up against.
-
Yes I am serious we played for twenty minutes in the second half for rest of the game like the teasers we didn't turn up
-
I can't comment on Brooke's performance, but I do remember when he was given the task of taking a penalty many moons ago. It was an excellent gesture to give him this when he was not the main pen taker and the reaction afterwards showed his popularity in the squad. What we need to remember is that this is a man who has had very little match time so, realistically, I don't think we can expect him to be at the top of his game.
-
People were calling Simon Richman useless last season but he's improved hugely this season. Maybe Ryan will do the same?
-
Fair point however with us having one forward who will play at championship level and the other scoring 40plus goals a season I'm not sure he will get the chance
-

the teasers don't tease any more !

Perhaps I'm being harsh you had as many teasing as you had flags

Well, I thought that it was disappointing, in that I was disappointed that we didn't do ourselves justice, in my view.
Their goalkeeper didn't have a save to make.
We managed about a twenty minute spell in the second half when we gave them a game but otherwise our passing was haphazard and they looked physically stronger.
Densmore had an afternoon to forget but I was really impressed by Leather, who did a fine nullifying job on Dave Hankin.
Hope that his substitution doesn't indicate that he has incurred an injury.
Brooke has simply been a huge disappointment and is just too easily knocked off the ball.
If he is, indeed, 'needed' in the run-in, then I fear for our prospects.
-
I feel a bit sorry for Brookey. He obviously try's hard and by all accounts is a top lad to have around the dressing room. That said he never really looks like scoring or indeed creating chances for others.
I'm not sure what Lee saw in him elsewhere that would suggest he could have led our line this year - thank god Reeves signed in the summer and Duncan has developed so quickly otherwise we would be 13th in the league and this forum would be worse than Portchat.
On a separate note, what has happened to Mitchley, is he still on loan? I wonder if its worth recalling him and loaning out Brooke to get some experience. That is assuming Brooke will be here next season, which on the face of it would be a bit odd.
-
Mitch on loan at Kendal Town
-

Yes, he been bizarre dropped or rested so many times before. We don't believe the manager when he says the lads injured
-
Just to give you something to criticise him for.
he is garbage to be fair

It was a very very disappointing performance
What were you watching?

I would say it was between disappointing and good. We didn't start off well and were on the back foot for most of the first half. I don't think Reeves actually got a touch in the first half!! 2nd half was better and like some people have said, if that Reeves chance went in we would probably be talking about an excellent draw/win. Whilst we missed the attacking threat of Clee and Watmore, I was happy to see Richman was fit, as if we were going to get anything we needed him chasing for every ball, and he did. Leathers tackling is supurb, didn't put a foot wrong.
I'm confident we will get 2 or 3 points at Halifax and Guiseley (drawing both or winning one), and then we can get some more points at Moss Lane.

My point EXACTLY, you are commenting on something you dont know about and calling people for it. Suggest you know the facts first.
