Poor start to the season for Workington but still an iffy place to go on a Tuesday night. Would be a big three points to claim. Hopefully we came through yesterday unscathed despite getting "the treatment" off barwell.

Workington 2/1
Draw 11/4
Alty 11/10

Can't make Shildon on Saturday so I'm doing Workington tomorrow night. Like you say they've haven't started particularly well but they're still expected to pick up and mount a challenge.

I think we'll maintain our unbeaten run with a score draw. 2-2 - Sheridan from range and a Hulme penalty late on to salvage the point. 53 travelling Robins.

Very tough place to go. Damp conditions and a strong crosswind from the sea. Come the winter not many sides come away with anything.
Workington rightly one of the favourites, but an injury hit side and a bench full of kids has done no favours so far. Unbeaten at home despite that.
It's the same squad that finished last season with 8 straight wins, couldn't hit a barn door this season. Depends if they turn up so far they haven't although should have had 6 points off the top 2. Could go either way having watched both sides this season.

Agree it's a tough place to go. Given the form both teams are in, workington 0-2 Alty.

Good luck to all who make the journey.

One of the few matches I thought would present a significant challenge before the season began. If they've got injury problems, I think we'll beat them, but a horrible journey nonetheless.
1-2

[One Foot in the Grave]

I thought they'd be one of the front runners, but they haven't won since beating Halesowen at home on the opening day.  We should be capable of winning but it's no pushover.

1-0 (Johnston). Attendance 345

Start badly every year. Went from bottom half of the table at Christmas to 4th last year. Exactly the same the last 2 seasons loosing narrowly in the playoffs each time. Are the best side in the division when they fire and it's the same young squad of local lads with 2 additions.
A few out injured but have not been second best in any game this season but are woeful in front of goal. A department Alty are far superior in. So difficult to predict they are definitely due some luck and overdue a good performance. Going 1-1 not a game for lightweights!

[Teasierbeaver]

Tough game but I think we've weathered the storm well in terms of aggression and Parky has got them thriving off it.

They'll need to thrive off it again and keep the ball on the floor too with that wind.

Biggest test since Stafford but we'll pass this one.

Any score that gives us three points will do.

Johnston, Poole and Hulme with the winner enjoyed themselves against Workington last time out in Salford colours- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNjxb64A8iE

Never easy up there on a Tuesday but we have the craft to beat them.

Be a massive three points if we bring them home.  Let's get it done.

[distancetraveller]

Can't get to Workington tomorrow but good luck to the lads.
Lets get 3 points and continue our unbeaten run.

3-1 Alty
ATT 320

Good luck to all those travelling - hope the weather isn't as bad as forecast ...

It's Workington - if we're serious about going up we should be winning at places like that

Tough place to go on a Tuesday? Last time we did we won 6-1

[Alty wanderer]

That's after virtually the whole first team had walked away to join the now defunct Celtic nation. Prior to that Workington were a top half conference north side and narrowly missed out on promotion to the conference twice.
This is a totally different team, and it's way tougher getting out of this division than staying in conference north. Only one automatic promotion place and every year there has been a team up there with full time pros who are in a different league to everyone else. Been 39k transfers at this level!
Talented side capable of pulling 2000 plus for the big league games. Lucky to get 500 tonight given the rubnish start and footie on the telly.
Alty have a front line as good as I have seen at this level, have belief. Some of the comments on here have been a bit harsh, they will come good.and they will be the difference this season for Alty. Should be worthy champions but don't underestimate the competition.

Yes that was the score but it was the end of a season where we got promoted and they were heading for relegation. The circumstances completely different tonight.

[Teasierbeaver]

If we're serious about going up we should be looking to win every game. It doesnt mean its an easy game.

This is a tough assignment.

We put 4 past Aldershot less than 18 months ago. It means nothing
