Just back.

Great to get a win and a clean sheet but Altrincham were dreadful, possibly worse than Dover.

Very impressed with Andy Smith, excellent with the ball and an improvement on Sears. Amos very steady and more progressive than Crookes. Same issue as ever with Sousa, fantastic in possession but no end product. Is Max ready to start?

Giles Coke my MoTM for a very steady performance. Goals were amazing both scorers would run him close.

If Fox had buried his header Sousa would have had an assist. Can we not praise him for that or shall we just write him off and say he has no end product ffs? He’s getting better, can we try and encourage him ffs.

Lots of negativity aimed at those who don’t think it was the best performance but I have to agree really. First half we didn’t look like we had any real plan. Felt like the sort of game where it was just going to be something out of nothing to nick it and we did that twice.

New guys did well. Not much going down the right hand side of the pitch today but Smith isn’t a full back so unlikely he was going to be bombing on all game like Efete. He did well considering he was just covering and Amos did ok too.

Middle of midfield lacks something definitely. Coke was improved again today so the last two games where he’s completed the 90 mins I’ve been impressed which is a step in the right direction.

Both goals absolutely superb and worthy of winning any match.

Echo again what’s already been said. McAtee has played a lot better than he did today but he was still my MOTM.

Sousa is very frustrating at times but he definitely didn't run up blind alleys and look to do everything himself today. It will have been tough for both wingers today as they will have only met their defensive partners yesterday.

Surely after a bad run what matters is a win and 3 points.  Just enjoy that instead of moaning about the performance

Of course. But having just listened to PH interview, he clearly thought we could and should have been more clinical.

There were some very good chances today:

Taylor put through one on one but Thompson was straight out to get the ball from his feet.
Pearson header just before half time that forced a brilliant save followed by another header on target from the next corner.
Another header from a corner blocked on the line.
Fox heading over from 8 yards out.

And no meltdown, thank fk

How was the shopping trip?

Quoted from oochiad

Unfair to say Sousa can’t cross the ball when he placed a perfect cross on Fox’s head for him to inexplicably put it over from 5yrds……Sousa I thought had a cracking game and kept them on the back foot on so many occasions.

It wasn't perfect it was too high hence why Fox was under it and it went over,his end product was unfortunately the same this game as ever, zilch.

But I agree he had a good game, won the ball in the middle and dragged us up the pitch, always open to receiving the ball, they couldn't get it off him in the middle of the park. Definitely got them on the back foot but In the final third nothing really came off for him though, again.

As ginny said, the moment Wright came on the quality of crosses went up a noticeable notch.
