ALTY'S SEASON: PART ONE

Over the next few days, the Alty Files will look at season 2022-23 from a statistical point of view. We start with Season Comparisons, Goals For and Against, Clean Sheets, and League Sequences.

SEASON COMPARISON

• 2022-23: National League P46 W16 D14 L18 F68 A82 PTS56 POSN 17th
• 2021-22: National League P44 W15 D10 L19 F62 A69 PTS55 POSN 14th

• 2019-20: National League North P33 W16 D9 L8 F62 A40 PTS57 POSN 5th* plus playoffs, in which: P2 W3 D0 L0 F6 A2
• 2018-19: National League North P42 W20 D11 L11 F85 A56 PTS71 POSN 5th plus playoffs, in which: P2 W1 D0 L1 F3 A3

Footnote: In 2019-20 Alty were on course for 72 points.

Altrincham lost one fewer match this league season than the 19 defeats in 2021-22, which had been the same number that they had lost in fewer matches in 2020-21 and the same total as in the previous two seasons combined but they were obviously playing at a higher level then.

GOALS

However, the 82 goals conceded (1.78 per game) were 13 more than the previous season's total, when the rate was 1.57 per game.

The 2021-22 season had seen Altrincham net far more goals than in the previous season, with 62 in the league, an average of 1.41 per match but they also conceded more often, 69 times, at an average of 1.57 per game.

In 2020-21, excluding the expunged game at Dover, Altrincham netted 46 goals, an average of 1.09 per match and conceded 60 times, an average of 1.43 per game.

The 2020-21 season's total of 46 goals scored was the fourth lowest total scored by Altrincham (in a league season of 42 games or more at any level) in their history.

In 2019-20 Altrincham scored 62 league goals in 33 matches, an average of 1.88 per match. They conceded 40 league goals in 33 outings. When the play-offs are added they scored 68 league goals in 36 matches, at an average of 1.89 per match.

SCORERS

The top scorers in all competitions in 2022-23 were:

Right: Chris Conn-Clarke, Alty's loanee from Fleetwood Town, scored nine times in 27(+1) league appearances.

• 10 Chris CONN-CLARKE (9 in league, 1 in cups) in 31 (+1) appearances in all competitions
• 10 Jordan HULME (5 in league, 5 in cups) in 31 (+10) appearances in all competitions
• 8 Regan LINNEY (6 in league, 2 in cups) in 15 (+5) appearances in all competitions

Conn-Clarke's nine league goals (which came at a rate of 0.196 had he played every game over the season) was the lowest top scorer's haul since the disastrous 2016-17 campaign when James Lawrie's 8 goals from a 42-match season (0.19 average) topped the league goal-scoring chart. It was also the first time that a loanee had headed the goalscorer's table.

In league games alone the top scorers in 2022-23 comprised a loanee and two players who were transferred during the season to other clubs, so none will necessarily be at alty next season.

• 9 Chris CONN-CLARKE (loanee)
• 7 Ryan COLCLOUGH (transferred)
• 6 Marcus DINANGA (transferred)

The top scorer in all competitions in 2021-22 was Dan Mooney who replaced Josh Hancock. Dan was also top scorer in the league games, a title held for the previous three campaigns by Hancock.

In 2021-22 three scorers reached double figures:

• 13 Dan MOONEY (12 in league, 1 in cups) in 33(+5) appearances in all competitions
• 11 Ryan COLCLOUGH (all in league) in 39 (+3) appearances in all competitions
• 10 Matty KOSYLO (9 in league, 1 in cup) in 31 (+5) appearances in all competitions

• 12 Josh HANCOCK (all in league and incl. 5 penalties) in 35(+3) appearances in all competitions
• 8 Ryan COLCLOUGH (all in league) in 23 (+5) appearances in all competitions
• 6 Tom PEERS (3 in league, 3 in cup) in 15 (+21) appearances in all competitions

In 2019-20 the top scorers were:

• 19 in all competitions: Jordan HULME (14 league and 5 in cups) in 43(+2) appearances including play-offs.
• 18 Josh HANCOCK (16 league and 2 in cups) in 38(+1) appearances including play-offs.
• 9 Tom PEERS (5 league and 4 in cups) in 16(+20) appearances including play-offs.

s In 2018-19 Altrincham scored 85 league goals plus 3 in the play-offs and conceded 56, plus 3 in the play-offs. The individual goal scorers were led by...

• 20 in all competitions: Josh HANCOCK (19 league) and Jordan HULME (17 league)
• 15 John JOHNSTON (14 league)
• 7 Max HARROP

GOAL AGGREGATES (LEAGUE)

• 2022-23 Played 46 For 68 (1.48 per game) Against 82 (1.78) Total 150 (3.26) GD-14
• 2021-22 Played 44 For 62 (1.41) Against 69 (1.57) Total 131 (2.98) GD-7
• 2020-21 Played 42 For 46 (1.09) Against 60 (1.43) Total 106 (2.52) GD-14

GOAL TIMES (LEAGUE exc play-offs)

Despite it taking till game twelve of the season for Altrincham to score a goal earlier than in the 36th minute, overall the season saw broadly the same ratio of first-half and second-half goals scored as in previous seasons.

• First half: 29 (42.6%)
• Second half: 39 (57.3%)

Above: Far right in the image, Toby Mullarkey arrives to slot home Altrincham's opening goal in the 2-2 home draw with Yeovil Town.

League goals in the first or second half in 2021-22 arrived at almost exactly the same ratio as in 2020-21, with 41.9% first-half goals and 58.1% occurring after the interval

• First half: 26 (41.9%)
• Second half: 36 (58.1%)

The 2020-21 season saw a higher proportion of first-half goals scored by Altrincham than in recent seasons...

In 2020-21 season:

• First half: 19 (41.3%)
• Second half: 27 (58.7%)

In 2019-20 regular season:

• First half: 24 (38.7%)
• Second half: 38 (61.3%)

In 2019-20 regular season and play-offs:

• First half: 26 (38.2%)
• Second half: 42 (61.8%)

In 2018-19:

• First half: 33 (38.8%)
• Second half: 52 (61.2%)

CLEAN SHEETS

Right: Goalkeeper Ollie Byrne.

As in the previous season, there was just a single goalless draw in 2022-23, that was away at Bromley in game two of the season.

However, there was major decline in clean-sheets with only four recorded in 46 matches in 2022-23 compared with ten from two fewer games in 2021-22.

There was just one goalless draw in the League in 2021-22, away at Maidenhead United.

During 2021-22 they kept ten clean sheets, the same as in the previous campaign. Eight of those clean sheets arrived in the last sixteen fixtures of the season.

In 2020-21 Alty has two goalless draws in the league; coincidentally, these were in their first and their last fixtures. Over the whole season they recorded ten shut-outs (23.8%) excluding the Dover game which would have made it eleven.

That is exactly the same rate as in 2018-19 (see below). In 2020-21 six of the clean sheets were at home.

Nine clean sheets were kept in 33 regular league games in 2019-20, a better rate (27.3%) than the ten clean sheets which were kept in 42 league matches in 2018-19 (23.8%). Four clean sheets came at home but five were earned on the road.

In 2019-20 a further two clean sheets came in the three play-off games making 12 clean sheets in 36 league matches (33.3%).

LEAGUE SEQUENCES

Above we see the league results in 2022-23 which are colour-coded, with red for a defeat, amber for a draw and green for a win.

A recurrent feature of Altrincham's three recent seasons back in the National Level has been erratic sequences of results, with runs of good outcomes interspersed with extended spells of poor returns.

2022-23 was particularly odd as it started with nine winless games and ended with seven more winless fixtures.

Yet in the intervening 26 fixtures of the season, the points per game would have given Alty 74 points over the whole season and a play-off place (fifth).

But even in that mid-table sequence of good results there was a sequence of eight unbeaten games bracketed by three straight defeats beforehand and four successive losses afterwards!

The longest sequences in 2022-23 were...

• Wins: Three in games 31-33
• Unbeaten: Eight (games 19 to 26)
• Draws: Three (games 44 to 46)
• Losses: Four (games 27-30). Coincidentally this was almost the same stage of the season that their worst runs occurred in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns.

Above we see the league results in 2021-22 colour-coded, with red for a defeat, amber for a draw and green for a win.

2021-22 was also a season of contrasting sequences. Alty made their best ever start in the national division of non-League, winning six of their first nine games. They promptly won just one of their next seventeen fixtures in the league.

The next 15 matches then saw just three defeats and eight wins, before the season ended with four games without a win.

In the first half of the season, Alty won 7 times, drew 5 and lost 10 matches; in the second half of the campaign they won 8 times, drew on 5 occasions and lost 9 fixtures.

Their longest sequences in 2021-22 were...

• Wins: Three in games 5-7
• Unbeaten: Four, games 30 to 33
• Draws: One (games 10,14,16,18,22,27,31,37,41,43)
• Losses: Four (games 23-26). Coincidentally this was the same stage of the season that their worst run occurred in the slightly shorter 2020-21 campaign.

Above we see the league results in 2020-21 colour-coded, with red for defeat, amber for a draw and green for a win.

2020-21 was a curious season insofar as the first seven games (excluding the expunged win at Dover) witnessed no wins, whilst the next 13 matches saw eight wins, three draws and only two defeats! Well over half of the season's points' total (27 out of 46) was gained in just those 13 fixtures.

In the first half of 2020-21 Alty won nine, drew six and lost six. In the second half they lost twice as many games (12) and won just four times, drawing the other five fixtures.

Their longest league sequences in 2020-21 were...

• Wins: Three in games 11-13
• Unbeaten: Five, games 16 to 20
• Draws: Two (games 3-4, 16-17, 41-42)
• Losses: Five (games 21-25)

In 2019-20:

• Wins: Six in games, 31 to 33 and the three play-offs; in the regular season five consecutive wins came in games 18 to 22.
• Unbeaten: Seven, games 17 to 23
• Draws: Two (games 12-13)
• Losses: One (eight occasions)

• Wins: Four, games 16 to 19
• Unbeaten: Eight, twice. Games 12 to 19 and games 31 to 38
• Draws: Two in main season (games 41,42) or 4 if the two play-offs are added.
• Losses: Two, twice (games 4,5 and 8,9)

ALTY'S SEASON: PART TWO

LEAGUE POINTS ACCRUED

• Games 1-23: 29 points
• Games 24-46: 27 points

2021-22 witnessed Altrincham garner more points in the second half of the season than the first, the first time that had happened since 2018-19.

• Games 1-22: 26 points
• Games 23-44: 29 points

In 2020-21 Altrincham performed far better in the first half of the season than in the second half.

• Games 1-21: 30 points
• Games 22-42: 17 points

In 2019-20 (season not completed):

• Games 1-21: 33 points
• Games 22-33: 24 points

In 2018-19:

• Games 1-21: 35 points
• Games 22-42: 36 points

DRAWS IN LEAGUE

Right: Eddy Jones proved to be a dependable left back who converted from a Stoke City loanee to an Altrincham employee during 2022-23

2021-22 brought ten league draws, with just one being goalless (away at Maidenhead United). The highest scoring draws were 2-2 at Chesterfield, at Aldershot Town and at home to Woking.

• Goalless draws in league: 1

In 2020-21, for the first time in three seasons, Altrincham played a goalless draw in the league; in fact they played two, one in the opening match versus Weymouth and the other in the final fixture against Torquay United. Both were games at Moss Lane.

• Goalless draws in league: 2

As for other scoring draws in 2020-21: 9 in league (4 home, 5 away). Seven of the draws were 1-1, the other two were 2-2.

In 2019-20, the record was identical but from nine fewer fixtures...

• Scoring draws: 9 in league (4 home, 5 away). Seven of the draws were 1-1, the other two were 2-2.

In 2018-19 Altrincham had eleven draws in the league proper plus two more in play-offs which were settled by penalty shoot-outs. Until the end of the season Alty had never drawn two successive league matches under Phil Parkinson but they finished the campaign with a run of four draws if the play-offs are included!

• Goalless draws in league: 0
• Other league draws: 11 in league (6 home, 5 away), 2 more in play-offs

BIGGEST WINS IN CUPS

2022-23 was a much better year for cup-tie results with five rounds played in the FA Trophy as well as the Cheshire Senior Cup, albeit one CSC round was a walkover. Only two FA Cup ties were played, however.

The biggest cup wins were two 4-0 successes in the Cheshire Senior Cup against Sandbach United and Runcorn Linnets.

The three cup defeats were all after ties which had finished level after ninety minutes. In the FA Cup that led to a replay defeat at Gateshead, whilst both the FA Trophy and the CSC exits were the result of penalty shootouts after ninety minutes.

s In 2021-22 the only cup win was 3-2 at Southport in the FA Cup.

In 2020-21 the biggest cup win was 3-0 v Barnton in the Cheshire Senior Cup.

In 2019-20 the biggest cup wins were 2-0 at Halesowen and 3-1 at Southport, both in the FA Cup.

In 2018-19:

• 5-0 at home to Whitley Bay (FA Cup)
• 4-0 at home to Bradford (PA) in FA Trophy

ALTY'S SEASON: PART THREE

In short the last two years have been tumultuous as the team moved from part-time to a full-time model of operations.

Only Matt Gould, Ben Pringle, Matty Kosylo and Brad Jackson remained at the club at the end of 2022-23 season who had also been at the club at the start of 2021-22. And none of those four made more than five league starts for Altrincham in 2022-23.

Above: In front of keeper Matt Gould we see, left to right, defensive trio Harry Perritt, Kyle Ferguson and Lewis Baines, with Elliot Osborne and Jordan Hulme.
