I've never seen Sutton. Ceesay is interesting. When he first turned up he looked very raw and unfinished, like he could be anything. Unfortunately, I think he just looks raw and unfinished. He looks ungainly, but he's faster than you think. I saw him have maybe 2 great games for us, the rest...

DarkSithLord - I hear Alfreton have signed Ritchie Sutton on loan from us, and that you have also signed Yusifu Ceesay?

Just seen Jim Gannon is the new Hyde Utd manager, interesting.

Say it every time we play Halifax, bogey team for us for a while now, think it's 7 without a win.

Coming here and reading about Andy Owens and Craig Hobson is causing me to re-experience the shittiest Alty side I've ever seen, the 2016-17 shower. Next, someone will say Danny Hattersley has signed for them.

Johnston was consistently very good and occasionally unplayable at Alty, I find it quite sad what's happened to him.

Yes, I was under the impression that Welsh Premier League is NLN level. Some ex-Alty players in there too over the past few years, and lesser lights at that.

We've signed another one, Joe Bunney. Reading about the circumstances of his leaving Grimsby, all seems somewhat odd.

I went there in 1985. Very big, uncovered thing? Don't recall the toilets, I was 16 with corresponding bladder control.

This guy reminds me of that very short-lived Kings Lynn fan earlier in the year. I think it was Kings Lynn anyway, definitely Norfolkian, older man. Can't remember if he got banned or left of his own accord. Exploded on to the scene with many posts, very quickly descended into name calling.

First opening day win since 2013

Andrew Dales played for us on loan for a couple of games last season, seemed half decent then got injured and disappeared. Think he was a Mickleover player before his Scunthorpe move. Meppen-Walter to Radcliffe is another interesting chapter for him

We've just signed one in Ben Pringle, but it seems he was only a loan player for Grimsby

No score bore draw with Torquay. I guess they were saving their legs for their proper game next week, but they didn't look at all special, kind of on a par with Eastleigh the other night. I see they've now gone 4 without a win, that would be somewhat worrying for them.

Got to agree with the Pieman there (not often that happens, ngl). If Eastleigh do make the playoffs I wouldn't be remotely worried about facing them. They looked fit and worked hard, but were toothless. Should have done them really, it took their soft goal to drive us into action. Always nice...

I wonder where and when the "welcome to non-league" moment will occur? My money is on our place, mid-August 2021. Mansfield Town's welcome to non-league match report meltdown from 2008, posted on our forum a few weeks back: "A gut wrenching display from The Stags at Altrincham that really...

Yes, that was quite the rollercoaster, considering it was as dead a rubber as you could possibly find. Was that not a strong Yeovil XI then? I was late into the ground, first thing I saw was the GBH on your player. I think that is the first time this season we have scored four.

Well this is very dispiriting, I missed the fourth, which apparently was a Tony Thompson howler, the likes of which we haven't seen for a while, admittedly.

No, I looked it up, Fax were 2nd at that time.

For a big man, he was remarkably easily outmuscled when I saw him, a very diffident looking player. When he left us, I think he stopped playing altogether, which I think is telling.
