Alty v BRFC highlights

I thought it sounded pretty bad on the radio, but deary me, not good!! Which team are the part-timers again?

It's excellent, credit to Alty TV. I remember thinking the same when I was watching some Duncan Watmore clips a while back.

So far any highlights for our games have been watching BT Sports replay of our Grimsby game and that was at great speed! Barnet goals from Barnets youtube channel and now Altrincham highlights from AltyTV. Still nothing from Rovers. This is just something else to add to the list of shambolic stuff from the club.

No excuses now the club now producing its own highlights.

The goals we conceded sounded poor on the radio. But watching them now, wow, its school boy errors. The 1st goal with a complete plonker of a header to set them up (good finish mind). The corner which led to the own goal should have been cleared easily 2/3 times before the cross came in where McChrystal scored our own goal. Our defence looked shocking, we never looked like scoring apart from Brunts header and obviously the goal we scored by Mansells header but even that was lucky with the head tennis in the box prior to the goal.

The Barnet highlights were just the goals, so only commenting on the Grimsby game and the highlights here at Altrincham, I can only see 1 change from last season. Defence looks a lot worse!

Defence still doing route 1 football if they havent cocked up 1st of course.
Midfield looks the same issue, not enough support going forward, not enough creativity, passing poor, not enough urgency and not good enough service.
Up front looks like we will never score due to not getting the service, not creating enough chances and lack of skill with the ball at their feet.

Same as last season, crap on our travels, goals scored will be an issue and this time 4 gets relegated not 2.

That second goal is as bad as anything I have ever seen.

Disgusting that Altrincham outplayed us and outshine us in the media department,

We really are a shambles.

(No disrespect intended to Altrincham)

We're a shambles because the weight of expectation causes us to make elementary mistakes and in an effort to put it right, we try too hard and everything we do goes pear-shaped. Confidence is eroded and instead of nurturing the ball and letting it do the work, we get rid of it quickly like a hot potato to somebody suffering from the same condition. It's the fear of losing.

Yeah, it's pretty clear all this amateurism, all this making do, all this crappy service, the general feel of crap and cheapness around pretty much everything Rovers does has nothing to do with where we are in the league or how much money we have; it's an attitude.
