Just back.

You obviously watch different football to me

Doubt it. Different interpretations of where we are right now maybe.

We are rebuilding and today we looked to have 2 more decent players to add to the mix and a third ready to give it a go.

We'll see how the season pans out.

Difficult to judge progress today against such a poor side.
One excellent and one brilliant goals took the pressure off

You can only play the game in front of you and I was nervous about today, especially when the team was announced. Bold call by Hurst to throw Smith in at the deep end in an unfamiliar position but I thought played very well. I did worry early doors that 2 debuts in our back 4 was going to be disastrous as Altrincham seemingly got past our defence and into the box with ease 3 times in the first 7 minutes.

As the first half wore on and we became a bit more patient, the signs were there that we would be victorious today. If it wasn't for a great save that their keeper knew nothing about we would have been 1-0 up at half-time but I think our start to the second half surprised Altrincham and what a goal by McAtee who just seemed to lurk outside the area and got himself into the right place to smash home the attempted clearance.

McAtee and Maguire-Drew both have a lot of class and McAtee closing down their keeper which forced an error created that perfectly placed second. I really like Maguire-Drew, whilst he prefers to use his left, he's pretty handy with his right.

Taylor put in a very good shift today but the 3 players behind him really got at Altrincham in the second half. It was great to see the shackles come off at 1-0 and us play with confidence again. How did McAtee get taken down by two players and still manage to get up, run with the ball and get a shot away?

Pitch invader; what a plonker and probably the worst one I've ever seen. Had his moment on the BP pitch and didn't know what to do.

I actually thought that McAtee looked a bit rusty for most of the game and was far from his best. If he can score goals like that, I'll allow him the odd off day! Hopefully he didn't hurt himself too much when he stretched and trod on the ball. He seemed a little laboured near the end before he went off. Have to say, JMD was pretty poor in the first half but improved a lot in the second and that was a great finish from him.

The two full-backs did really well considering they've been thrown in at the deep end and are probably still learning the names of their new teammates. Burgess didn't get much chance to show what he's about. Another nice cameo from Wright as well. Not sure if he might prove to be more useful coming off the bench after Sousa has tired out their defenders.

It certainly feels good to get a win under the belt.

We were better last week against the league leaders but didn't get the goals we probably deserved.

Was a patchy performance today, which is understandable given their penchant for theatrics and the bizarre ref who seemed to be making it up as he went along.

3 points, 2 stunning goals and a clean sheet. A Saturday night not spoilt again. Let's just enjoy that and forget the last couple of months for a night at least

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

Mcatee is the son of god

Amen to that Brother 🙏🏻

Playing against a side who had no intention of attacking and looked to disrupt continuously. They were very poor

We controlled the game and deserved 3 points.

Coke my MOM. Thought he was excellent today

Great to win again. The new lads fitted in very well and are attack minded. 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. Mcatee sublime and everyone put in a great shift. Special mention for Pearson, so pleased he came back. Like the Halifax home game he again made some excellent forward runs, just brilliant. All in all a great afternoon and my drive back to Yorkshire will be a happy one. UTM!!

Probably would’ve got a 3 year contract and game time last season
