The good news is, they're on a long winless run. The bad news is, they don't often leave here with nothing.
Still, if Stalybridge can put 4 past them on their own ground.....
Alty 2 (Harrop, Hancock) Workington 1

We owe them one. If the pitch is half decent then I expect another comfortable 3 points

we will struggle , to a 1-2 lose with a crowd of 487 due to getting in touch with my inner protester and expecting the worst and wanting something to have a rant about , or maybe a 4 - 1 win with 729 fans and supporting the team but still respecting other peoples reasons for not agreeing with me .... i hope this was politically correct and i have not upset anyone whether you are a happy clapper or or a stay away moaner...... love to all

I think they are struggling to find 11 players at the moment.
6-0

I suppose it is disrespect to Mickleover to some extent but I'm happy that the game didn't go ahead on Saturday if it means we have a better chance of getting three points on Tuesday. Certainly, no excuses about the pitch
-
Really hope the match is on and the pitch is decent? Any update? Quite a bit of rain forecast is it a worry?
Alty to win 2-1

My main concern will be that it is forecasted to rain for much of the next 24 hours (though not on Tuesday) so likely be touch and go again.
As for the game I think they’ve lost 6 on the trot & are very stretched player wise. If it’s on we’ll win comfortably I’d expect 3-1.
-
Forecast rain all day, can't see it being on. No idea how we will fit all these games in.
-
Depends how bad it is overnight - it's due to be bone dry (and mild) for at least 12 hours before KO (if not longer), but the damage might have been done by then.
-
The brook at the back of the ground by the golf club was up to the top of the bank yesterday 3 to 4 feet higher than normal!, will try and post a picture. Water table so high, hence water on ground not draining away. That is some rain we are having. I do miss the football when not on.
-
Play it at Trafford.
-
Fully agree time to switch games to Trafford, otherwise we won't complete the season
-
I walked the golf course this morning and there is more standing water on there at present than I've seen this season so far - and my wellies have a split :-(
-
Whatever our fixture list looks like, Shaw Lane are still 3 games behind us. Their game tonight is already off!
-
Workingtoff ?

I retired yesterday.....so it's Notworkingtoff ;D

I think we need to recognise Warrington as the chief threat at this point, Shaw Lane have far too much left to do. Warrington's pitch drains superbly and they're creeping back into form.
-
Workington are a complete mess. Players leaving, injury crisis,, if you fancy a game bring your boots.
First 11 are quality at this level, too many missing to be any threat though. Hence the slide down the table. Last away game at barwell. Could only name 2 players on the bench - a teenager and the manager in his mid 40s. Having said that they outplayed hartlepool and Bromley (home game) in the fa trophy. Anyone's guess what turns up. Bad attitude from too many of them, play when they feel like it.
Reckon it will be on?

I said weeks ago that I was more worried about Warrington. They are a solid decent team.

Indeed. but they also have the same number of league games to fit in as ourselves.

I can see us having more postponements going forward than they do. All it takes is one or two more postponements with them playing and winning, the impetus is then on us to pull away rather than them to chase. Its a possibility if we don't keep pace with them. Whether it would actually have any affect on the outcome of the season remains to be seen, as I think we're capable of dealing with that should it happen.

congratulations can you fork the pitch for us ? 😁😁
-
Pooley's injury-time equaliser in the home game, and its subsequent 3-point swing, could yet prove crucial - although hopefully it won't have to.

Has it stopped raining in WA15 yet folks

Barely, been on for most of the day with only occasional breaks. I wouldn’t have thought there’s much chance of it being playable for tomorrow night....and if it passes inspection I dread to think of the state of it after 90 minutes.
A real shame considering the great efforts made in getting the pitch in much better shape for the Stourbridge game.
-
Very wet here near the ground but rain has eased, forecast has improved for next 24 hours, so lets hope the pitch can drain a little and firm up enough to get the game on without damaging it to much.
-
Dry night, and I’m told the pitch is looking in decent shape. Should be on. Will share pictures on Twitter when I have them.
-
Pretty mild day and apparently the sun's coming out later as well. Fingers crossed.
-
Looking promising, thanks in advance to all that have worked on the pitch to get us where we are now today.

Seconded! A performance like the first half last Tuesday would reward their efforts suitably - and a consistent electricity supply this evening would do the same!
-
Good news that the club states the game will go ahead.
Well done to all who work on the pitch.
See you tonight. ;)

Maybe before the season is out there could be a bucket collection to buy the pitch guys a beer or three.

Good idea. They have spent hours of graft trying to sort the pitch out.

100% - Hopefully their hard work will be acknowledged at an end of season awards' do (should we have one.)

Two hours of partial sunshine and 9 degree temps between now and KO. Bring on the Alty.

Don't want to be too negative. Peers certainly stepped up second half. Hulme and Harrop gave their all.
However it was clear that we needed Richman alongside Harrop at half-time. He should have taken Moult off much sooner.
Dens needs to come back in for White,not all impressed with White. Glad to see Hannigan come on for Jones.
It was a bad night and it does worry me that against teams that play high tempo and get in our faces we struggle. They aren't as good as Warrington but play a similar way.
Second half we maybe should have gone 3 at the back with Dens and Hampson as high wing backs. Then had Harrop,Richman and Poole (slightly forward ) in centre mid with JJ behind Hulme.
-
Oh dear. I don’t think anyone saw that coming though Workington have generally been a bogie team for us over the years. From the RR commentary sounded a bit like one of those nights for us & maybe another team raising their game against us. Still with Warrington failing to win at Stafford it could have been worse. Focus now on Shaw Lane vs Stalybridge on Thursday night. Fingers crossed for an away win.
-
As dreadful as the defending was, he decision making in the final third was woeful.
Felt sorry for Hulme who worked his arse off with no help from the officials.
Could have been a whole lot worse but other results haven't been to damaging.
Massive reaction needed on Saturday.
-
James Jones was very poor tonight, got turn inside out on countless occasions by their number 9. Hannigan needs to prove his fitness and play the remainder of the season.
I think Dens gives us abit more energy going forward aswell.
-
Im cursed . Fought hard second half thought we were going to nick a point
-
After the first 15 minutes Workingtoin had weathered the storm. We seemed to stand off them far too often and they manhandled us as often as they could. Big difference between Stourbridge and Workington's approach to the game. I think the pitch was too soft again for our style of football too. Bring on Spring.
-
To add Thompson gets beats far too easily by low shots from distance.
-
We need to get back to the winning formula
Dens hannigan and richman in
Parky has needlessly messed about with the team..apart from toms injury...
Get the title won boys even below par we should have won that..
Worst officials of the season apart from the liner who gave their pen the ref and the other liner were terrible
-
I think we need to be careful how much we nitpick some of the lads’ performances tonight. They were all part of the same XI that blew Stourbridge away last Tuesday - let’s not go all Championship Manager on the back of a disappointing evening. They should be afforded the opportunity to regroup and respond on Saturday.
We’ve set ourselves a high standard and our failure to reach that in the first half is what cost us. To their credit Workington looked prepared for much more than we threw at them. It was nowhere near good enough and they don’t need us to tell them that, they certainly don’t need a few crackpots booing them off at half-time. Weirdos.
Completely different team in the second half. Much more like it. Again, not to the level we’ve hit at times this season but we aren’t a team of robots. We’re humans and we’re top of the league by six points still. I’ll take that in anticipation of a big response against Bridge.
-
Workington play a similar style to Warrington. We don't cope well with fast, direct teams I'm afraid.
I felt really sorry for James Jones yesterday. He'd have wanted better on his 21st birthday.

He played like he'd been on the ale celebrating all afternoon.
Let's hope Tom keeps fit for the run in as the Jones & Harrison partnership simply isn't good enough.

100% agree.
I would also say it's a timely reminder that although it's useful if Warrington and Shaw Lane drop points, it's up to us to keep going. If we carry on winning, there's nothing they can do. We need to keep the focus on ourselves and 3 points on Saturday gets us going again.

Didn't see that coming, a kick up the arse that nothing can be taken for granted. Alty will still be champions, on another day could have got the win.
Workington are a rag tag but talented bunch. Seem to play when they feel like it. More fringe players than regulars last night and 4 17 year olds on the bench who have yet to play first team football. Produce talented kids - Scott Carson, grant holt and Glenn Murray all came through the youth ranks.Way better than the league position on a given day. Worth avoiding in the playoffs if they sneak in.

Better still, avoid the playoffs by hanging on to the top spot.
