Boss Darren Patterson was left angered and frustrated at Altrincham, seeing his side squander possession and chances to slip to defeat. Darren was in no mood to pull punches afterwards:

"As we said in the dressing room we are not looking for anyone to feel sorry for us because it has happened on a regular basis. The goal was like slow motion. We had started ever so well, completely dominated, and in the second half started really brightly again but in the last third of the pitch we were nowhere near it. It's too hard sometimes for some people and there were a lot of times when we got into good areas but then it was just too difficult for certain players.

"We are still conceding the sloppiest of goals, it's ridiculous, and we have to freshen it up I think. I have backed the players all the way, at the end of the day I brought them in, but now they just have to keep believing

"In the end we were running round like headless chickens trying to make things happen, especially in central midfield, and we lost a little bit of shape. In the first half we were nice and solid and dominating the game. In the second we got into good areas but didn't look like scoring goals. That's the key.

"I was very pleased by the two young lads who came on, Matt Taylor and Sam Deering, because they gave us hunger and enthusiasm, which is what you're after. We should definitely have got something out of the game but I've ended up playing two youngsters and a central midfielder up front to try and get a bit of presence up there and if I was a wide player or a centre forward I'd be pretty ashamed at that"
