This will be a lot tougher than yesterday, and we'll need to improve our finishing and keep it tight at the back. If we channel our FA Cup performance at their place, we are capable of taking three crucial points.

Much harder game. Don't like watching Watsons teams but I'll be there.

Really hope Johnson plays on the right.

didn't get to Ashton due to not having use of car and lack of trains from Leeds but sounds like we won ugly and were pretty profligate.  But its still a vital 3 points and its crucial we build on this tomorrow and in the next few games.

This side at its best has already proven it has the beating of Southport - so I am going to be optimistic and go for -

Alty 3 Southport 1 - Hulme, Hancock, Jones - att - 1235

Then we kick on and get into the top half of the table early in the new year and stay there

gut feel is a score draw.

So long as we beat Curzon again seven points from nine would be acceptable. The frustration is the team can go out and win this three nil, then fall a cropper v curzon.

Has anyone else noted that our current league record evokes the number of the Beast (to detour into Iron Maiden territory for a moment)?

Won: 6.

Drawn: 6.

Lost: 6.

I have no idea whether that could be an omen.

Don’t forget you can buy match tickets for tomorrow’s game in advance. I found it great at the last home game. No queuing at the golf road end. Straight to turnstile 5 at the main stand, showed them the code on my fone which was scanned and straight in. Give it a try it’s the future and takes pressure off the turnstiles

Can someone please explain to me in less than a thousand words what the advantage of being full-time at this level is? Southport were made to look like a pub team by people who let's not forget (despite the fact they are paid to do so) are playing football on their day off.

Yes, I've always thought at this level some of the full timers will be stealing a living.

Full marks to Max today. Played well and unlucky to get booked in my opinion

On the evidence of the Radio Robins commentary this afternoon, that sounded like another victory for Alty's progressive and entertaining football over Southport's antediluvian and mind-numbing hoofball.

Max showed what he's capable of today, although one or two of his attempted tricks drive me mad.
Sorry to sound like a stuck record but we seemed to get forward much more effectively with Richman and Hampson on for Williams and White.
Jordan won the battle of wills with the centre-half today without losing his rag, which was good.
If Max's tackle was a booking why weren't their's in the first half (which I think is what Jake was explaining to the ref.
