Good response to grab the 3 points tonight, with a few changes to the line up from Saturday. I see Alfreton got a point in a ‘Desmond’ at Leamington. Another interesting result was Marine getting stuffed 3-0 at home. Lynn go there a Saturday.
Anyone shed some light why Buxton have played their opening 3 games at home while Farsley have had their opening 3 games away ?

Have to feel for AL. Was rightly of very critical of the squad when he came in so has spent the summer getting a squad together that more reflected him and his ideals. Seemingly with the size of the squad this season he has been well back by Joe and SC. Opening game must have delighted him and made him think he was really into something.
So to see that performance and result in Saturday must have really concerned him and have 2nd thoughts about certain players.
Let’s hope that display was a one off as we don’t want to become a soft touch for any team we play who just load balls into our box and out battle us.

Will be interesting to see on Tuesday if AL reverts back to a 4 that performed so well v Warrington or stick with a 5 that got over ran at Alfreton. Has to be back on the front foot against a team who haven’t gained a point yet.

Had a listen to AL’s post match interview and Billy Heath’s as well. Looks like the battle was won in the changing rooms before the match.

Knowing what was coming down the road at you and getting players to stand up to it is another thing. Maybe AL has leant something about certain players that perhaps surprised him. The change he made in bringing in Coulson was to cope with balls being loaded into our box.
If AL ain’t happy with certain players maybe that will be apparent in Tuesday night’s starting 11. He has a decent size squad so no excuses there.

Have to say I’m a tad surprised and indeed disappointed in todays score line. Not so much the result as grabbing points on the road is never easy.
After witnessing last weeks fine display against Warrington I thought two things. 1. We looked a team full of goals and 2. We looked decent at the back.
AL has put a good pre season into his squad so to get stuffed 3-0 by a part time outfit is somewhat surprising.
Good opportunity to get things back on track as soon as Tuesday. Hopefully todays result won’t have much affect on the gate..
Be interesting to hear AL’s interview and get a grasp on what went so wrong today.

Watched the highlights. The goal we conceded looked even worse than it seemed on the day. Sunday Morning football that one. McFadden did Jones no favours with that back pass. Should have been in the stands. Hindsight hey  We did look good though. Now let’s follow it up today

I fancy us to take at least a point at Alfreton. They tend to be a big strong, physical side but think we have the players now who will cope with that.
Taking Gold ( as he went and returned) how many in the squad were at Lynn under Widdler ?

Good to see you back involved at the Club, Backie. What role are you covering now ?

With Gold think it is a more positive outcome to look at what he can do rather what he can’t do. So much wrong with his game for sure. However he is the focal point to get us up the pitch and is a real handful for any defender. Think we have a player this time who looks much sharper and is putting in the extra yards, more so than the last time he was with us. Have to say think this is his level. 30 goals plus this season.
Interesting thought going forward will be how will AL fit Margetts into the line-up when he returns ? Nice problem. The same may well go for Coulson and indeed Wilson.
What are the rules with regard to numbers in terms of how many named subs can you go with and how many can you use ?

Have to say I was well impressed with what I saw on the field at The Walks today. So many positives. It was reminiscent of the Culverhouse’s day, albeit with a completely different style of Football.
The stand out player for me was the latest signing Cody Johnson. Once he is dialled into everyone else things will improve further. We look a side full of goals. Could have have had 6/7 today with clear cut chances. Though in fairness Warrington had a couple themselves.
Decent gate of over 1000. Hopefully for Alfreton that will get pushed up to 1100 plus.

Real buzz for the start of the season. Let’s just remember it’s a marathon not a sprint. Controlled expectations is the order of the day. Today will give us a true understanding of how well AL has recruited and put his squad together.

Was he contracted beyond this summer ? If so maybe a shake hands and move on or a cash inducement to smooth the way.

Has the Media content that’s coming out tempted you to attend on Saturday Pink?

Entertaining for me. Some good bits in there amongst some rather strange comments.
More importantly I think the media team have really stepped up to the plate with some of the content they are putting out there. I find it really engaging with the Supporters.
