We lost to a better team . Alty defending was first class and they blocked everything by getting loads of bodies in the way and not letting us get shots away. Their passing was better and their no 7 ran us ragged. Time to take stock, learn and move on.
We were beaten by a resurgent (and massively budgeted) Alty/Nantwich team today. Their two wins after a dreadful start must have infused them with positivity and in the first half they did us good and proper. We were deep and didn’t press, had every single player back for corners and they could have stroked the ball about for ever more. Matty was a big miss for us and our shape didn’t have what we have had so far. The first goal was a gift and the second was brilliant. We had several efforts blocked and two just over the top in the first half and despite being much better and more in the game in the second half didn’t really get at 'em. We stayed at the Lostock end for the second half and an Alty fan was escorted from the ground for a racist comment, I hope the idiot gets a banning order for that.
