Should be 2-1 up. Killing them everywhere aside from Sheridans  brain fart.

1st game for me and very impressed

I presume that's a typo?!

3-1 up, late dubious penalty makes it 3-2.

FT alty 3-2 Chester

First back to back wins since November 2015

[Sale Holmfield]

And thoroughly deserved. I think Chester only had 3 shots, including the dubious penalty.
Peers and Wright both scoring against one of their former clubs, too.

[Hale Alty]

Some very impressive performances against some frankly not very impressive opposition. Lot's of players who seem very confident on the ball and able to take people on.

[robininstockport]

Solid performance against a very poor Chester.

Were Kidsgrove that bad?

[andrewflynn]

I'm sure Chester will improve as precseason goes on, they've a decent squad.

Take nothing away from us though, that was a very promising showing. JJ is going to be some player for us.

[RageAgainstTheFirstTeam]

It's looking good! I really like Lewis Short who has bags of skill. Honourable mention for Tol Omitola who looks pretty fast and powerful, something we've lacked for ages.

How is PP going to whittle our squad down to 18-20 players, let alone select a starting 11?

lets have a home and away team with 10 different outfield players

I think the problem is we were so used to the Sinnott outlook of having 11 players and a bench that he didn't even trust, followed by last season when the same players were starting because they were the only ones with any credibility. Squad depth and competition is something PP has said he's all for and will have at the club. Some are meant to be on non contracts, hence why we can run with a squad of say 18.

[JTH]

The website confirms the following players as contracted for season 2017-8:-

    Kyle BROWNHILL
    Tim DEASY
    Shaun DENSMORE
    John DISNEY
    Josh HANCOCK
    Tom HANNIGAN
    Ben HARRISON
    Sam HEATHCOTE
    Jordan HULME
    John JOHNSTON
    Chris LYNCH
    Sean MILLER
    Jake MOULT
    Tomoli OMOTOLA
    Tom PEERS
    James POOLE
    Simon RICHMAN
    Sam SHERIDAN
    Lewis SHORT
    Laurence TAYLOR
    Anthony THOMPSON
    Jerome WRIGHT

I make that 22 with decisions to be made on James Jones and Josh Amis. Competition for places is never a bad thing.

[MarpleAlty]

I appreciate some players have been playing interchangeable, but this is what he's got (I think):                    

                        Thompson   Deasy

Densmore         Hannigan     Harrison            Brownhill
Disney           Lynch  Heathcote  (Jones)        Short

                           Moult     Sheridan
Johnston              Taylor     Richman              Wright
 Peers                                                         Hancock
                           Poole        Miller
                          
                        Hulme Omotola  (Amis)
      
Pretty much every single player has staked a claim in these friendlies, which is amazing to see (although Heathcote can go for me).

It also remains to be seen whether we can get enough out of Hannigan and Miller given how many passengers we've had over the past couple of years. Given their undoubted ability, I hope they get the benefit of the doubt for now.

[Chrissy A]

Something has to give soon. It's only fair on the players that they know sooner rather than later whether they are in the long term plans or not. Some extremely tough decisions coming up for PP.

[Jimmy]

2 very easy decisions Richman and Heathcote can go
