Well then, that wasn’t too bad. We achieved back-to-back-to-back promotions but it wasn’t just that… it was the emphatic way in which we did it! We absolutely walked League Two and 111 points smashed the previous record points haul.
David Parkhouse got 18 goals overall and was named player of the year.
He was one of 8 Altrincham players who were named in the League Two Team of the Season.
And the manager of the year was no surprise…
It truly was a team effort, we scored 91 league goals but there wasn’t really a standout scorer as every team member contributed.
The goal-scoring contributions from our central midfielders James Olayinka (8) and Tyrese Fornah (9) as well as centre backs Aaron O’Driscoll (4) and Timi Sobowale (4) was vital throughout the season.
Having said that, Mitko Mitkov and David Parkhouse were the two standouts and had the highest average ratings in the league.
It still baffles me how we managed to get Mitkov on loan. He contributed 11 goals and 13 assists and his contract expires in the summer but he’ll surely be picked up by a club better than us.
One player that continues to deliver the goods is Callum Stanley. He joined us in the Vanarama North and in 3 seasons at the club has got 3 promotions.
What’s more impressive is that he’s played a pivotal role in all 3 seasons and despite picking up a few injuries this season, he still managed 10 goals and 9 assists in all competitions.
Sadly, we’ll also be saying goodbye to some players who played an important role for us in the past 3 seasons.
Callum Wright will be released after 2 seasons at the club even though he performed out of his skin this season.
Captain Joe Lynch and left back Ryan Campbell-Gordon were pivotal players in our promotions from the Vanarama North and National Leagues but are no longer needed.
And after 3 loan spells at the club in our 3 promotion seasons, Tyrone O’Neill’s Middlesborough contract will be expiring but I don’t think he’ll be good enough for us to take him to League One.
I started planning early and have already prearranged some transfers ready for our League One campaign. Once again a big summer beckons, but doing a big rebuild seems to have worked every season so far!
