Re: BTB - It's back

Well done everyone I thought in present economic climate £100k would be a satisfactory target and give AA a decent chance, the news we passed £120K is fantastic would be great also (now being greedy) if we could increase slightly the number of season ticket holders? Really proud to be part of this f...

Re: BTB - It's back

This time last year we were at just over £70K , Griifiths and Mondal signed with Alex Storey signing on for another year. Day before in AA interview with Ray AA stated that " he wanted to wait while other clubs were signing players early; alot of league players will struggle to find clubs and it had...

Re: Retained list

Also surprised about Cassidy as AA has continually praised him despite the winter /spring goal drought, unless he has someone similar in mind. Don't believe Rivers & mondal performances this season justified being retained hope it is on reduced terms as expect both to be squad players with Mondal li...

Re: Kidderminster V Darlington

Don’t think we need to make any improvements in terms of defence. I’d keep everyone we current have including Storey good 4th choice and young. One issue I do have with defence because it’s old we play too deep and with our current midfield crop we pretty much have a midfield full of CDMS. What we ...

Re: Farsley match thread

Very disappointing game , Lambert tried but needs someone to drive forward with him in the centre. Oneil was not working with him and never really got into the game, still not match fit thought we would change him sooner. Thomson again not quite up for it and couldn't find oneiil. Mondal started bri...

Hoping for draws between Chorley v boston and Kettering v York,
defeats for Evenwood utd v BPA and Alfreton at Kidderminster,
expect Curzon to lose at Brackley just to kill any faint hopes they have.

Re: York v Darlington

I have to say we played ok, until goal, they lumped ball up most of the time and we know that is a weakness in our team with a ball over the top. Was not sure about AA's formation with Cassidy instead of O"Neil and no Lambert or Rose in team, (arguably two of our better players), but when I looked ...
