Alty 2/5
Draw 10/3
Stalybridge 5/1
Can’t f**k about on Saturday, with Warrington hosting Grantham and shaw lane at witton who have designs on gate crashing the playoffs. Dust ourselves down and get it won
-
Three points could look huge at full-time with the fixtures highlighted above.
We usually follow below-par league performances with a response (of the previous four league defeats, we're W3 D1 next time out including a 6-0 victory over Farsley.)
Altrincham 4-2 Stalybridge Celtic ATT: 898
-
No excuses with them playing Thursday night. Nice and windy between then and now, so hopefully the pitch can firm up good.
-
Will be a very tough local derby as I can see Stalybridge being keen to do us.
Let's get our best XI on the pitch please and get this bloody league sewn up.
-
100% Dens for White
Hannigan for Jones
I would give Moult a rest and have Richman alongside Harrop.
-
Never fancy us against 'Bridge tbh.
I'd have Densmore and Hannigan starting, Moult I'd leave in and toss up for Peers or Hancock.
Where was Walsh last night?
Alty 1-1 Stalybridge. Poole.
Attn 732
-
We'll murder them.
Alty 4 (Hulme, Harrop, Poole, Harrison) Stalybridge 0
Attendance 702
-
Hmmm. The away match didn't go as well as expected. I still expect a strong win and a decent crowd. Hopefully Staly will bring a few.
-
To repeat Dens need to come in. The results with him at RB speak alone.
The only reason I said to drop Moult for Richman is that he looked sluggish/tired on Tuesday. He was way off the pace and because they came at us on the floor rather than constant long balls up top meant he wasn't winning those important headers in front of the back four. The game passed him by.
-
I think we'll certainly see Hannigan in for Jones, and Id also start Densmore for White. Can't see PP dropping Moult.
Tuesday was a blip, but the good news was that the team responded positively to being 2 down at half time. We were a good save from JJ's shot in the second half at 2-2 away from winning that game. We'll be back to our best on Saturday.
-
Lets get back to winning ways lads
3-0 Alty
att 777
-
5-0.
Stroll in the park and back to winning ways.
-
Here we bloody go again. Weather forecast is for snow overnight, and snow showers throughout the day. BBC forecast suggests the heaviest snow in our area will be between 3 and 5pm.
-
No overnight snow, sun is shining.....who writes these weather forecasts ? Matt Doughty ?
-
Well, the snow has arrived up here! Hoping (a) that the game will be on & (b) that the weather doesn't disrupt public transport so I can get there. If we were playing at Bridge I'd be worried about prospects of play.
-
Just started snowing at the ground....
-
Really, it's just a few flakes hanging in the air at the moment. I can't see any reason why we won't be playing.
-
Biggest risk is that the referee won't be able to get here. I don't think we'll have much snow
-
Heavier now and beginning to settle on the lawn.
-
Didn't last long and lawn clear. Sunshine and a stiff breeze. Still brief flurries but I still don't see real problems.
-
Richman needs to come in for Harrop for the run-in.
We need experience at this stage of the season FFS.
-
You could make a case for Richman coming on for any of them. Just terrible.
-

Hey?Harrop is only one trying to shift it and get us moving. Moult is playing like he's 70 years of age.
-
Any stayaways who were persuaded by calls to come and watch the amazing enjoyable football must be scratching their heads.
This is absolute gash against a sh*te stalybridge in a sunday park league.
Thank you mr rowley
Come on alty
-
But yes we need Richman and Hancock on.
-
Moult just looks really slow. It's such a shame.

Come on alty
No excuses but this is absolutely shocking. No tempo at all. We look deflated and no confidence.
-
Squad suddenly looks thin on options. Sam Heathcote as plan B isn't going to see us win the league.
-
Utterly shocking performance
PP hasnt strengthened the team and 2nd game in a row we are behind and pinning our fightback on sam.
Lots of happy clappers quite happy paying a tenner to watch that sh*te coz "we are top of the league"
-
Where was the new signing ?

A bit of respect for your fellow supporters wouldnt go amiss. Yes we were terrible today but a lot of us have really enjoyed watching this team this season and we've played some great football. Try and remember we all support the same team!

Well said

Well. Mr Parkinson doesn't like criticism. I was thrown out because I criticised his short corner routine!! So he's not going to take kindly to criticism in the forum. But the truth is that this is now two defeats on the trot. Nantwich situation all over again?
-
And a bit of respect to fans who only have enough voice left to shout come on sort it out after supporting the lads for 87 mins behind the goal after another lazy sloppy pass to be told to shut up support the team and "we're top of the league ffs".....
We have the right to voice discontent at such an inept performance.
They take the plaudits ok dont they?..they either want passion or they want to be cheered when they score by 50 apathetic fans like ashton..

Really or was there foul and abusive language involved? If you were thrown out for merely questioning the managers tactics then this is another low.
-
Another complete over reaction. The complete disrespect and poison on this forum for is embarrassing. Yes today was awful but it is still in our hands. We are not going to win every game but neither are the chasing pack and the few morons actually booing the team get a f**king grip.

I totally agree. The booing was a disgrace. Didn’t play well today but overall this team has done very well and played some lovely stuff. Some minor tweaks needed for the run in

I didn't boo mysef but today is not an overreaction because I think it is only 3 wins in the last 7 (could be wrong ) and they are 4th from bottom. We are losing home games.To add we were shocking and a 10 point lead is down to 3 points with one team (Warrington) getting the results so the panic and critism today is warranted.
-
Did we really deserve to lose today? We were poor today compared to what we have come to expect, however they created little except what we gave them through poor play. As poor as we were, we somehow created more, hitting the post twice in the second half and there keeper making a few saves.
PP now needs to be bold and do what is necessary to get us over the line. We need striker alternatives up front, bring back loanees or get fresh blood in. Winger required and need to get Richman back into midfield, he impressed me when he came on. First half we should have had a penalty but decision went against us. There forward should have gone for the foul on Hampson and wouldn't have scored.
Agree it is time to give Deasy a go in goal TT has lost form and needs dropping. Hopefully Tim will step up to the plate.
Not time top panic, but certainly time for PP to earn his corn. Back to winning ways please on Tuesday,

I perhaps wouldn’t have worded it as strongly but I do fundamentally agree with this.
It’s easy to cheer us when we’re rocking up and demolishing teams, and Lord knows its been a pleasure to watch at times, but these lads need to be able to count on our support when things aren’t clicking. We owe it to them to do so given the run they’ve been on to get us into this position in the first place. It’s the best Alty team we’ve had in years.
We’re all frustrated but it’s football. We need to be really careful here, reading tweets that question the players’ commitment and passion is so disheartening and I’m not the one wearing red and white doing all I can to get us out of this sh*thole. Negativity like that can, and will very quickly translate over to the players.

Not commenting on todays game
But steady on with comments like it's the best Alty team we've had in years - half this team won't be good enough for the conference north never mind the best team in years
-
We haven't turned into a bad side overnight but we do need to recognise the difference between a corner and a goal. Too often we settled for a corner.
Apart from that the first half against Stourbridge we were closing them down whereas against Workington and again today we were standing off far too often. Shades of the last two seasons. Even if we do get promoted it doesn't bode well for next season. Move up a division and the sides start to get more physical.
I'm worried at the moment. Today it felt like pass rather than shot on goal was the safer option. I am also worried about Tony. Has he been tested enough for him to justify his place next season? There is no excuse at all for hoofing the ball in to touch.
-
Hi, I very rarely post and will try to do so more often, however I don't think people weren't supporting the team today there was lots of positive chanting right until the full time whistle today as there was on Tuesday. I honesty believe all are fully behind PP and the team.
I also agree and think most fans accept how well we've played under PP this season, I've certainly enjoyed some of the best football for a number of years.(accepting we're playing at our lowest level ever) However we've now lost 3 at home in 2018 and two in two against teams in the mid or lower table. That is not championship winning form with the best will in the world. I appreciate the weather problems too, however don't think as a management team we've adapted our play accordingly and more physical/direct teams seem to have our measure at the moment.
I'm still confident the team can do the business and get us up, yet today there was a distinct lack of leadership ( nobody talking on the pitch at all today ) and also a distinct lack team spirit today, it appeared at times today players were just standing around hands on hips. I hope I'm wrong but unless something changes big time we'll be in the playoffs! On Tuesday I expect Mickleover will come at at us just like Workington and Stalyvegas and if we leave the space in midfield like we did in both these games they are likely to get something from us too.
More energy like the Stoubridge game from minute one; the team pressing and all working as one then hopefully this is just a blib COYR

Snork maiden. I can assure you that there was no foul or abusive language. I said that I felt that the short corner routine was often ineffective and for that after the match at Coalville I was told that I was no longer welcome at the ground. PaP has this season insisted on censoring the media including Radio Robins

Who threw you out and why - are you barred etc

Please be clear

I have heard this before that PP asked Radio Robins not to make any negative comments, apparently he thought they were being too critical at times earlier in the season

How many years is 'years'? I've not seen much of this season but that's a bold statement.

Wonder why the lad on loan from Wigan wasn't involved ?

With Ken Dodd and Jim Bowen gone, there are vacancies for comedians. This idiot obviously hasn't heard PP's post match interview.

Not heard it but whatever he said bet he sick of you idiots!!!!

Ive been on this forum since its inception
Im talking about the previous forum to this one
We had "fans" who would berate a draw at Oxford
They will never be happy

Where were you when this criticism took place? There's a time and a place for giving this feedback, of it was in a public arena I can understand the shutdown of this.
I'm not sure what censoring you allude to but I can totally understand the manager of the team asking the official radio station not to be overly negative.

It is clear from his post match interview, which I watched on YouTube at 8pm last night, that PP is prepared to give an honest assessment of what he has seen on the pitch, and anything relevant that is happening off it. Of course there are things that he would not put on offer via this medium, because they are either sensitive or irrelevant.
I expect his contribution on Thursday to be along the same lines. Ask him there about tactics and I think you'll get reasonable answers. Ask him to comment on your personal view that a particular player isn't good enough however, and he'll diplomatically sidestep it. That's perfectly correct in my view.

Yesterday was woeful. Utter dross. Arguably at times worse than the football under Harvey Young and Doughty
Phill promised us players would be fighting to wear the shirt. What happened yesterday? 11 bone idle players wandered around the pitch. There was no urgency or spirit.
At least with Witton we played with a bit of fight, we were just poor. Yesterday was poor effort and poor football.
They deserve all the credit in the world for Stourbridge but part and parcel of that is getting criticism when playing like a shower of sh*te.
If a team like Buxton or Witton play well and we play with energy, tempo and don't make silly errors, and the team drops points, then whilst it's not good, you can take the odd dropped point.

Overly negative or banning all negativity?

Wow. The difference being last season yesterdays type performance was the norm, this season that type of performance has been few and far between. Ok, yesterday wasn't good, but I think there was effort, just bloody awful conditions and below par performances (with individual errors) from everybody apart from Max Harrop. Can't believe this team can be compared to the garage under Doughty and Harvey even on a bad day.
-
There no competition for places, Hulme, Poole, JJ and Hancock all know they are starters when fit. Thankfully three out of four have been on form at anyone time this season. We now have a situation where they all look off the pace, Hancocks been injured but we don't have able replacements. If I were PP I would go out and get Liam Dickinson for one, he was such a hand full and is a completely different option to what we have. Hulme has been class for us but needs to be kept on his toes, Heathcote will not do this.

Effort wise, it can be. Heads down, no communication yesterday. Only seemed to want have some get up and go after the second went in.
-
I didn't see a lack of effort yesterday but there was a definite lack of belief and confidence throughout the team. JJ is usually a chirpy lad who looks like he's really enjoying his football and has a bit of banter with the spectators near him. Yesterday his head really dropped after his early mistake and it spread throughout the team. This team hasn't had to deal with too many setbacks this season and certainly not a run of them. That is the test of character now.
-
I agree with Paul, there seems to be a drop in confidence across the team. Need to start by keeping a clean sheet and then get back to being more clinical in the final third. IN PP I trust. Looking forward to see how the management respond and that flows through to the team. We are still top and in our own hands to stay there.

Been on RR since the start, never had anyone say anything to me about negativity etc, i think we always tell it as it is.

Richman needs to come in for Harrop for the run-in.
We need experience at this stage of the season FFS.
Hey?Harrop is only one trying to shift it and get us moving. Moult is playing like he's 70 years of age.
As I said. Experience at this stage speaks volumes. Harrop has contributed well, and he'll be managed well by PP. But I know which 2 I'd want playing alongside each other when it comes to getting results.

Indeed, and we know what Harrop can contribute from in front of them ! My only fear is that he gets himself sent off when we really can't afford a suspension during the run-in.
