His goal on TV against Bromley away was a superb finish though. Highlight of his Altrincham career that.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - like many others, O'Keefe wasn't a bad player and was simply deployed wrong at the time.

He was often played out on our troublesome right hand side - a good example of this was the Macclesfield farce when it had all started to go wrong.

I still firmly believe we'd have stayed up playing a 4-5-1 with Moult holding, him and Richman just in front, and proper wingers either side (Ginnelly and Lawrie, or Mottley-Henry who clearly had raw pace but we never got to see him. Even Crowther or Bowerman would have done at the time for the sake of the balance of the side).

The above formation was the source of our purple patch in the new year the season before - we can't live with full-time sides man-to-man, so why we didn't pack the midfield I have no idea.

Instead we tried to accommodate Lawrie in his 'best position' in a 4-4-1-1 and got steamrollered.

Would have required an actual manager to come in once Sinnott left.

It took us a long time to replace Sinnott with an 'actual manager'  >:(
