Not reached a point where we change formation just yet, (the next 2 games may change that).

Assuming Hampson and Poole are unavailable.

                                  Thompson

Densmore    Goulding   Hannigan   White

                          Moult    Richman

             Johnson    Hancock    Daniels

                                 Hulme

Whilst not making wholesale changes , I certainly expect a much improved performance. Would like to see Bannister on the bench with view to coming on as an attacking option.

A clean sheet would be most welcome.

Darlington 2-1 Altrincham (Hancock)

[One Foot in the Grave]

On the above selection, the attacking option from the bench would be Peers, with Harrop behind him.

[JD]

I would be inclined to have Peers in for Daniels

[Mrs Warbouys]

Darlington 6/5
Draw 5/2
Alty 21/10

Back to winning ways with a 2-1 win at Darlo.

[One Foot in the Grave]

They've only won one of their opening five games, and shipped five goals last Saturday. We really should be beating teams lime that.

I agree on a 2-1 win.

[Quakerz]

We've had a difficult run of fixtures to start the season though...

Brackley, Spennymoor and Kidderminster all away and all fancied to be pushing for play offs at least.

Blyth at home who beat Chester 8-1 in their previous match.

The only "easy" game on paper was Curzon for the season opener, and they just happen to be a massive bogey team for us - and they aren't bad either, grabbing a draw at York after beating us.

There are obviously big question marks over our defence after last week, but we were after all away to Kidderminster who are probably the best footballing side in the division - and also we had to play with 10 men for 75 minutes which didn't help. Conceding 5 may have been a blip, we will see.

One thing we will do this season is score goals with Ainge, Styche and Thompson as well as Nicholson

I'm not expecting Alty to be an easy game, and who knows, you may well win - but I just don't think you should be looking at us yet as "the sort of team we should be beating" based on 5 matches.

[Alty Dave]

Hi Quakerz, you need to take most posts on here with a pinch of salt, I believe today is a very tough game for Alty, both teams have quality. It will be down to who shows the best on the day.

[Quakerz]

Yeah I suppose, it just narked me a bit to see someone rate us as a team that you should be beating, when we have plenty of quality and play off ambitions. Obviously time will tell if we are good enough for the play offs or not.

And to be rating us as a club that you should be beating when you've made exactly the same start as us, is rubbing a pinch of that salt in the wounds a little bit

darlo 0-3 alty at the moment

[wayno]

We really should be beating teams like this .. no disrespect etc

[oneedham]

Great result and guess what.... a clean bloody sheet.Right decision to drop Thompson,should have been done last season. Wynne two great saves.

Good decision to play Jones, as he has played really well this season apart from Spennymoor away.

Always good to have Densmore back. I think it allows JJ more freedom as Dens is reliable.

I couldn't make it to the game but Moult sounds like he had a great game. Winning a lot of headers,that's his sort of battle.

Hancock sounded immense in the number 10, which for me is his main position and he is quality there. Hulme seems to enjoy playing with him, they play well together.

Anyone have any idea what injury JJ has?

That all backfired a bit.

Defence rare  poor and greatest footballing side posy Brazil 70 drew with Curzon.

You might need to edit that again.
