It's nice to have something resembling a squad to choose from!

Tommy will want to play 3 at the back again. A formation that doesn't suit Thompson.

In all honesty I have no idea who or what he is going to play

Looking at Altrincham's home form we don't have much to worry about

5 straight wins - 3-1 3-0 4-0 3-0 3-1

Our new defender might have a busy day.

At least their top scorer Jordan Hulme is suspended. He tortued us when they tonked us at BM.

Funny he never caused us many problems when he played for Sal£ord and probs wouldn’t have this season if Tommy Boy hadn’t fucked the squad up.

I'd be a little concerned at throwing 5 players who are all only here for a month in as starters, and if he does, that's just desperation at this point.

They are top of the last 6 games league and we are 21st so hard game ahead with our new players to gell together. I will be there and really looking forward to it.

It would not surprise me if part of the months loan deal is, if fit they play.

Poetry corner with Wisequaker

Howay In A Manger

Away to play Alty
New lads in the team
Our season starts here
Or so it must seem

The travelling supporters
Deserve a new deal
With a tightened defense
And a midfield of steel

So what are the chances
Our lads can prevail
Put Thommo where he plays best
And sign Gareth Bale (on loan)

Or if we get beat ..... They say each man has two left feet designed to trip him up
Remember that we're not yet beat - there's still the Durham cup.

Put them all in our players never train together anyway so will not make much difference as long as they play there own game and not listen to Tommy`s tactics we should be ok

First time in a few weeks I am intrigued as to how we will line up, we at last have a squad that set up right could actually turn the season round :thumbup:

You could well be right, but then it has me asking if this is wise decision making, or just desperation. Loan signings are a good thing, it's crazy we weren't using the market previously. It seems like we're going from one extreme to another now, making up half of the team with lads who don't know each other, and hoping they'll do something miraculous isn't good management either.

You've got that right - only four wins all season and winless in our last seven in the league. The fact he can't win matches is the reason most of the fanbase wants him gone.

Thommo should be in the team instead of Elliott imo, should not be on the bench.
