Altrincham winger Matty Kosylo says he has never played in conditions like those he experienced during his side’s penalty shootout defeat by Notts County in the FA Cup.
The 34-year-old has established himself as a fan-favourite since his move from AFC Fylde back in 2020 and has been a key part of his side’s success so far this season, with Alty currently seventh in the National League.
Saturday’s narrow loss to League One Notts was played in heavy fog with many fans inside the ground, as well as those watching the match live on Two, unable to see the ball from the second half of normal time onwards.
“It started to come in more so in the second half but by the time I’d gone off in the 89th minute, I think the lads after me had it worse,” Kosylo told Radio 5 Live.
“Where we were sat on the bench, our vision was seriously limited. As soon as it went to the other side of the pitch, we were guessing what was going on.
“We’re very proud of the lads and the effort they’ve put in. Taking it in those conditions in tight areas, and being brave to go forward and make passes in that weather, hats off to the boys.”
