PeteG Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 First home game under Mellon, players will have a rocket up them from Tuesday night, comfortable 4-0 home win with a Norwood hatrick. I sound like @Lee Sinnottnow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 They're doing well, Alty, and so they should with the money they've spent. Hopefully we'll react well to the shambles on Tuesday and go on another long unbeaten run... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next door neighbour is friends with the chairman and has been to a few games with him and for a Man United fan he's fairly knowledgeable about the game and he tells me they play some decent stuff.

penrhyn Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 To be honest I dont see a whole lot changing untill new recruits are brought in . The new manager bounce didnt last as long as the last one, but I expect Mellon to get it right . How quickly depends on who goes and who comes in and how quickly that happens. The last few games have highlighted our weaknesses , teams know what to do against us now. Be interesting to see if Raglan plays at CB or Mcgahey and if he perseveres with Sutton at RB .

I expect Raglan to come in at CB with McGahey returning to his CDM role. Sutton continuing at RB really depends on Freeman's fitness, or someone new coming in. Don't see much point in swapping in Shelton, one out of form player for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’m up for this one tomorrow and expect to see a much improved attitude from the players tomorrow. I also want to see two strikers up front for Latics - please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not sure what state our scouting network is in given the departure of ST. Having said that I'm pretty sure MM will have kept his eye in and between him and Brabin they must have quite a network at our level. But again, fully expect them to do due diligence before bringing anyone in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) The squads to big as it is.. We had - Nuttall, Kurt, Raglan, Freeman and Gardner doing sprints at Fylde. Then Ward and Dickinson injured. Mental. Edited October 27, 2023 by LightDN123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the long term vision? Short term, match fitness isn't important. Given RB has been a problem for at least 18 months, if not longer, it's important that we sign the right player on a two year contract to solve the problem.

Freeman six month deal wasnt it? so Eminem will either get the man playing soon or use his wage elsewhere. l want him with us tho. fit and playin l mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittles left foot Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 There has surely got to be a half decent RB we can get on loan and at least solve this RB problem for a month or so to let Mellon sort it out. Got to rest Sutton tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wont see McGahey I dont think. Mellon said post Fylde that he wasnt due to play and he himself didnt expect to play so will more than likely be rested. That would be the sensible decision anyway.

oafc1955 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 In his pre match interview I think I heard him right, saying that Gardner & Ward will be available for selection.

Monty Burns Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2023/october/27102023-mellon-pre-altrincham/ not too bad staged interview but looks like not allowed to ask about a couple yet so l'll shut up on them now. either Gardner or Ward (or both) might go straight in to the XI or at least be 'gettin stripped' looks backward more than forward in this, but does it in a way thats also lookin forward. the ones that are here have got a chance is pouring an ice bath on transfer rumours if ever you could. and actually may have been said earlier now l type. but anyway it was said! may have been told to have a full look at what he has got. to end this most hypothetical of hypothetical posts thru n thru l'm sayin Shelton may drop completely out of the squad.
