Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Dorking Match Thread
« on: March 05, 2024, 01:04:36 PM »
I'd imagine Dorking will have most of the ball which might play into our hands a little bit as we're now much more a counter attacking side. Outcome depends on the old cliches of how we defend under pressure and if we can take the chances we get as I'm confident they'll come.

Dorking have a few defenders who are getting on a bit. Maybe it could find them out on a proper pitch which will be soft (in racing terms) and only a few days since there last game.. having said that, our lads need to up their game also.

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.

I think Maxi is still on loan but United have him back when they want him

The squad isn’t big or good enough for playoffs or Lge football. What needs to happen is to get a bigger squad going forward, not loanees, squad players have to be capable of stepping up into the first team not be on the bench making up the numbers.

If I am honest I always have been of the opinion that this season is a little to early to be dreaming of getting into Lge two.

Predicting this fixture is indeed a quandary. We need an outcome other than null points.

SW I’m sorry to say it is Amateurish and rude, it is part of the club that really does need improvement.
Hope you do eventually get a response

If the idea of sending Donowa to Chorley is to get him match fit, bringing him on as an 83rd minute substitute at Brackley this evening seems to make it a fruitless exercise.

I think I could have managed to play for 7 minutes (as long as they didn’t play too much added time)

I watched the Stream tonight and it was identical to the Maidenhead game..

Fortunately Solihull, Gateshead and Barnet also lost tonight. It’s quite simple now. We have to win games now and go on an unbeaten run akin to the one we did at the beginning of the season. I agree that loans are required. I did read somewhere that Ethan could be back for next Tuesday..

I think Parky gets too engrossed in players stats facts and figures. Lots of players manage two games a week. They are fit young lads not Sunday pub teams who get rat arsed the night before a game.

Finally ……
WE NEED A PLAN B when things aren’t working

I’ve got the stream, let’s hope they can get back to winning ways. Cmon Alty..

Hopefully, we will see a selection picked of the like of when we last won against Rochdale. Let’s get back to our sharp passing game moving the ball quicker than of late…

Southend 1 - Alty 2.

Con Clarke & Linney.

Sadly, an RIP.
Still remember him from the CSC final vs Witton when, as a youngster, he was part of strolling Ken Barnes's side along with (Peter?) Mellor.


Yep Peter Mellor he was a big man with shocking white hair, a very good keeper.. who went on to play for Fulham.

RIP Chris Nichols.

Just watched Parkys interview.. in fairness he didn’t try to blag it he said we were poor today in all departments. Let’s just hope it turns back round to where it’s been for most of the season, like others, I do believe once Ethan returns things will pick up again.

I usually leave around 12.00 to go to home games,  does anybody think that there is a risk of it not being on.
Cheers

I think it will be fine. Crucially there’s no rain forecast tomorrow & should actually be some sun a couple of hours before kick off. If there was going to be a pitch inspection (assuming part time Maidenhead will just be travelling up on the day) sure it would have been announced by now as guess they’d need to leave no later then about 0930. Pitch will be heavy again needless to say.

Cheers SLA

As others have said, there is still plenty to play for, we win our game in hand and we are back in the play offs. At the end of the day it’s where we are at the end of the season that really matters.

Knowing Alty, I expect watching them play Maidenhead will be an enjoyable experience.

Onwards and Upwards.
