MotM: 29-03-24 Altrincham (H) Emmanuel-Thomas

[brumkidd]

Out of the relegation zone as it stands.

[brumkidd]

As you were.

[TWG85]

Sounds a helluva a game!

[tonythescout]

Good half very encouraged.
Looks a 442. Awful goal to concede tho
Jet absolutely running the show first 25. He hasn’t been as effective since he went down injured. Hopefully he is ok.

[HarrierN2]

That was a great half of football and Harriers have played extremely well.

Altrincham are very slick, fast and dangerous going forward though.

Very exciting to watch but very tense.

[TWG85]

S***, s***, s***!

[tonythescout]

That goal is a terrible one to concede. Whole Back four atrocious for it

[TWG85]

Nail in the coffin.

[tonythescout]

Yet again more awful defending. We’re done. I’m sorry but we are. Acted far too late. Done well to Be in with a shout. Needs a good clear out in the summer in the final third especially.

[TWG85]

Guess that's why they play the three centre backs. Despite the position first time conceded three or more since October, then being Chesterfield.

[tonythescout]

Probably why yea but can see why we went as we did as we looked better going forward for it. Richards all over the shop fir the first and one at fault for the second along with penny. Weak as piss from Pearce for the third: they’ve had their worst games of the season today tbf it’s the worst I’ve seen richsrds play. All three are consistent performers. We lack something in the final third again

[HarrierN2]

Altrincham just too strong for us going forward. Razor sharp to be fair.

I think that might be it sadly.

[HarrierWolf]

Awful all round. Midfield has been poor and our squad just looks ragtag with no quality for the league.

We are, in my opinion, going to be relegated. The relegation has come in 3 stages:

- Terrible recruitment last summer and keeping players who were simply not up to it
- ⁠Sticking with RP too long, meaning we’d played 60% of our games before a change and leaving us with just too much ground to make up. The football was poor for 15 months before we did anything. It’s telling that he’s now managing two divisions below.
- ⁠Failure to win big games against teams around us, even under PB. Woking, Maidenhead, Boreham Wood, York, Dorking, Oxford, Fylde, Wealdstone yielded 20/48 points.


We must go again in the NLN, sadly. I’ve supported the club for 30 years and it’s just been disappointment after disappointment since 2005.

[Bewdleyharrier]

Zak Brown getting MOTM is a poorer decision than sticking with Penn for as long as we did

[TWG85]

Altrincham just too strong for us going forward. Razor sharp to be fair.

I think that might be it sadly.

Yep, minimum of three wins out of four needed from here. Just not conceivable form they're in. And that's discounting playing the top two!
