Altrincham's draw at Chester was overshadowed by a double injury blow, with assistant manager Neil Tolson seeking reinforcements. The club's quest for new players has been stepped up after the injuries to Damian Reeves and Nicky Clee. The draw lifted Altrincham one place in the Vanarama National League to 19th, two points clear of the drop zone. Michael Rankine's header on the hour cancelled out Ross Hannah's 20th-minute opener. Tolson praised his team's performance, saying they were good value for the draw. The injuries to Reeves and Clee have added to the squad's woes, with Tolson admitting they are low on numbers. Nicky Clee was due to see a specialist about a hernia, but the injury has now completely flared up. With Reeves, hopefully, it's not as bad as first thought, but the club will have to be very careful with him. The result was a welcome boost for Altrincham, who have been playing some good stuff. They started strongly, moving the ball around sharply, and were unlucky when Michael Rankine hit the post. The club will now focus on finding new players to strengthen the squad. Altrincham's next match will be crucial in their bid to stay clear of the drop zone. The team's performance at Chester showed they have the quality to compete, but the injuries have added to the challenge. Tolson's comments suggest the club is ready to act quickly to find new players. The fans will be hoping for some positive news soon. The draw at Chester was a good point, and the team will look to build on that in their next match.
