Re: Guiesley Away

On reflection and having took two days to thaw out, we were improved on Saturday . My other thoughts are that Ellis and Lawlor are not the CB pairing answer, shipped in alot of goals, many bouncing in 6yd box and TT is not so commanding coming for crosses and all teams in playoffs conceded alot less...

Re: Fans Forum

AA looking for a striker to replace Charman and a decent wide player who can regularly put in good balls. Most likely arriving in the summer. Those widemen not performing will be moved on. Nelson seeking a second opinion on injury looks unlikely to be playing soon. Louis Lang off contract unlikely t...

Re: Relegation places

With everyone below us (except gloucester) having games in hand it is likely we will move closer to the bottom especially if we do not obtained 3pts each against Guiseley and Chester need a battling performance from somewhere

Re: Darlo v Kettering

So the chance finally comes around for Alun and the team to start to right the wrongs of the Telford performance. It feels like it's been a long week and I think we'll all be looking not just for a good result but a good performance to go with it. Ketterings prep for this game has involved a narrow...

Re: Telford V Darlington

From the highlights if Ellis and Griffiths start Saturday ahead of Storey and Hedley then they might as well not stay with the club because they will never get a better chance of standing in for two players who looked 100% they hand planted the white flag and were thinking about what they would have...

Re: Farsley game

If he didn't have a good view of it, which is likely because two bodies were in the way, then the linesman should come into play. Your previous point about the linesman having to look though other defenders isn't valid because he didn't, his view wasn't obstructed. Also if a linesman can't make a d...

Re: Farsley game

Frankly last season, I don’t think AA really knew his best combinations up front. He wanted Campbell and Charman on the pitch and tried to fit everything else around that. We will need the likes of Lambert and Rivers to really step up in Charman’s absence. Rivers in particular for me needs to show s...

Re: Tyrone O’Neil

I am hopeful that Charman will stay until the end of the season, I think the signing of Tyrone shows how far Nelson is away from playing. The Nelson signing was a gamble but it hasn't paid off unfortunately. I might have to retract that, I see Scunthorpe has sold Ryan Loft to Bristol Rovers, that's...

Last nights game pretty much summed up the season so far. Soft early goal conceded, actually played well in spells with some nice football, lots of chances at both ends, but didn’t win ! Could apply that to any number of games. As you could AA comment “ the full back didn’t close the cross down and...

Unfortunately we’ve lost any sort of momentum. Gray got us to the play offs purely on the back of the steam we’d built up in previous seasons. The season after was a similar story to what we have now. More had to be changed in the summer than Alun would have liked and any team bringing in 10 or so ...
