First of two difficult home matches in four days against sides who are in really good nick at the moment. If we're going to be serious playoff contenders, we absolutely have to pick up the six points.

Hopefully the loan striker who was expected by last weekend will turn up. We need to freshen things up.

No prediction from me. I'm just going to grit my teeth and think positive.

An entirely different proposition from the Haig Avenue Southport I'm afraid.

Same starting 11 as at Chorley. Hopefully we can replicate our first half at Chorley but convert chances.

Alty 2-2 Southport. Hulme Hancock

Is it segregated?

We'll need another striker and a change of direction in the goalkeeping department to stand much of a chance here unfortunately. Southport no longer concede goals (aka Stockport) so we will have our work cut out. As things stand, I think we'll struggle and I'd take a draw all day long.

Need to get back to playing the smooth fast passing game that we were playing pre Xmas.
Do that and we win... Would still like to see us change tact if were struggling.

Alty 6/5
Draw 13/5
Southport 9/5

Most money going on Southport at present they’ve been backed In some what. Think we are always worth a go at home when odds against

Southport say they are bringing a big following tomorrow. Hopefully the game is organised as well as the stockport fixture and they are in the correct area of the stadium rather than having a big following roaring them on in the home end

Not feeling optimistic about this (or Tuesday). Tossing off the Trophy has had a real impact on momentum. Would be pleased with a draw but suspect a defeat.

It would be astonishing if we went into this game with the same lack of options off the bench as the Chorley game.

And where would such options come from ? There's no apparent movement on the loan front - we could call some of our loanees back, but otherwise we have a bench with all the impact of a soggy tissue.

I am no great fan of Man City or Pep Guardiola, but I do admire the point that City put out very strong teams in recent cup games getting resounding victories just when they were wavering a bit. Good management for me, that.

Yep the Stockport situ worked well.
They won't mind standing in the away end, It will be the same as us going to their place.

If they are coming on mass then segregation is key.

Quite sure that will be no more than 250-300. Away end should be perfectly capable of accommodating them and ensuring they have adequate facilities.

As for the game to be honest I’m expecting a defeat, hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised but they have all the momentum and will doubtless be a big strong physical outfit (a la Chorley) who we might struggle with. Granted, the amount of cash that’s been put in there Watson should have them right up there so it’s no great surprise.

Of course they'll be "a big physical outfit".

Elementary, my dear - Watson !
