In the original fixtures this of course would have been at GGL, but a later kick off for us tomorrow
As far as I'm aware all the other fixtures kick off at 1230 or 1215.
Torquay are not playing so this is our game in hand over them. Defeat will mean we're neck and neck. Defeat by more than 2 goals will mean Torquay will go above us on goal difference. Form wise we're pretty similar, but Alty don't seem to do well at home to sides challenging for a play off spot. We really can't afford to leave there empty handed as that will put us in a position of not being in control of our own fate.
Other games of note tomorrow Chesterfield V Bromley Halifax v Kings Lynn Notts County v Eastleigh Stockport v Maidenhead Woking v Wrexham

As we are all aware our main problem at the moment is scoring goals. Maybe other teams have worked us out but i'm thinking that if Donovan is fit then maybe him or Tanto could play on the left flank with the other partnering Omar. With David going down the right teams would struggle to cover all positions at the back. It seemed to work well in the last 10 mins against Torquay so maybe worth a go from the start.

I would opt for Ben Wyatt on the left - that would give us some real balance.
And my two up front - Donovan & Issac.
Omar is brilliant as a battering ram - he is a little goal 🥅 shy at the moment (his first chance v Torquay was a good one and he is just slightly out with his shooting at present).

After a mid-season surge, when they climbed briefly into the play-off zone, Alty have tailed off rather and they're now in 14th place with only eight games left to play. (Only Hartlepool have fewer games remaining.)
They've won three of their last eight home games, but those victories were against Wealdstone, Woking and King's Lynn, all of whom are well down the table and have been struggling for form lately. Wrexham, Boreham Wood, Dagenham & R and Halifax have all won narrowly at Moss Lane during that spell, while Hartlepool drew 1-1.
This is a game that I think we should be looking to win. But yes, to do that we need to start scoring again!

We’re still in a great position. Would be a welcome 3 points if we can grab them. Let’s be positive! We can do it.

We need to do what Arsenal did last night, go out and prove a point, show we are the best team in the league and take 3pts and no prisoners.. And credit where credit is due to Alty for being kind enough to move the KO to 4.30pm..

The 16:30 KO is good for us.
I’ll be tuned into AB on MIXLR as I drive to Norwich.

We are indeed, although the 3 points are a bit more necessary than welcome at this point. Not as necessary AND welcome as a goal! Proper non-league club, Altrincham. Should've been a league club back in the days of election had it not been for some murky voting. On any other day, I'd wish them well!

I'd be feeling somewhat smug right now if I was a Hartlepool fan. Come on U's, let's keep the pressure on them.

And Chesterfield of course who are in exactly the same position as Notts in terms of games and points. If we win today, I'd say it would be more of a 2 horse race. Us and Torquay. 3 games in hand to make up 1 point shouldn't even have Hartlepool in the running even if they are currently top. We need to make sure we get back to winning. And to do that we need to get back to scoring goals.
