Definitely a case of mixed feelings.

Fylde certainly deserved a point, but having been 2-0 and 3-2 up respectively, it's disappointing that we have been unable to secure a victory.

After a nondescript opening 30 minutes, some timely poaching from Linney (although the goalkeeper should have done better with Angus' initial shot) and a splendid piece of finishing from Angus gave us a somewhat flattering lead.

It was frustrating early in the second half to see Marriott replace Linney, as it seemed to signal that we were surrendering the initiative to the team who possess the worst defensive record in the league.

James Jones was done again for their first penalty and then outjumped by Omotayo for their second goal.

The penalty awarded for the apparent foul on Amaluzor did look a trifle generous, to my eyes.

All afternoon, we had looked vulnerable when defending crosses and it was no great surprise when Obi duly outjumped Cooper to nod home their third goal in the dying embers of the game.

I hope that the injury suffered by George Wilson is not serious.

Extremely sad news, on what has been a grim few days for the club.

I first took note of him as a winger to fear in that powerful Runcorn team of the 1970s, alongside the likes of Mal Bailey, Alan King, Barry Whitbread, Phil Wilson and Trevor Finnigan.

What delight then duly unfolded when Alty finally contrived to sign him from Stockport County in the summer of 1978.

Such a valuable and entertaining member of that all-conquering Alty team. He was so good that we even forgave him for adopting that Keeganesque perm!

I particularly recall him mercilessly tormenting Stewart Houston and scoring two goals in our 3-0 FA Cup First Round Replay annihilation of Sheffield United at Moss Lane in November 1981. One of the great Alty nights.

Simply a class act.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Mark Maddox scoring the opening goal in the 2-1 FA Trophy Third Round victory at Leigh RMI on Saturday, 15th January 2005:

We suffered the consequences of failing to capitalise on our first-half superiority. Conn-Clarke was guilty of squandering three excellent chances due to overplaying or taking unnecessary touches (our old chum, Mister Dinanga, would have been slaughtered for such profligacy!).

Splendid finish by Linney, but it all rather went downhill in the second half, especially after our two most effective attacking players were withdrawn.

Kosylo endured one of those afternoons when virtually nothing went right and I'm still waiting for Angus to offer me a glimmer of promise.

Boreham Wood deserved their point on a somewhat frustrating afternoon.

Does this mean we can afford another central midfielder? (one with a good engine and no injury problems)

You never know, Main Stand season ticket holders may even see the appearance of those promised personalised “Seat Reserved” stickers on our respective nominated seats...!

For my money, the recruitment of a new goalkeeper should have been a priority this summer rather than an eleventh-hour decision.

Having said that, I am relieved that Phil Parkinson has seen the light and taken action to remedy what had become a difficult situation.

Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek.

Not much to be said about that, utterly embarrassing & a black day for the club.

A lot of players are nowhere near good enough & clearly defensively PP & NS really have to think hard about their approach in the summer. 93 goals conceded in all competitions, Aldershot sling enough crosses in on Saturday night & we’ll have a good chance of ‘achieving’ 100.

Shameful.

Spot on.

A mortifyingly abject performance, as our wretched finale to the season concludes with six home games without recording a solitary win.

I've not been so relieved to see a season limp away into the distance since those infamous days of 2016/17.

Congratulations to Congleton Town. I certainly didn't begrudge them their victory and, in truth, I would have been rather embarrassed if we had somehow contrived to have won that match on penalties.

I don't want to see Gould, Bennett and Burgess ever again and it's manifestly time for Pringle to move on.

After a week during which Parkinson haughtily lectured Alty supporters about taking the Cheshire Senior Cup seriously, it's a pity that he didn't express those same views to his players prior to kick-off.

I can only hope that he possesses the humility to apologise for that debacle.
