Well done lads. ;D we needed the result, the midfield and strikers looked on magnificent form but everytime they get the ball into our defence we fall apart. befor Rod thornly scored in last min and finished the game of they looked as though they were going to get the equilizer because our defence looked weak under the pressure they were being put under. the defence is missing barass get back soon lad…
Great result today. A fantastic hat-trick for Adam. Not a very good performance though, we must give a lot of credit to NFU who will surprise a few teams this season, I feel sure. A very determined display from us today. I was biting my fingernails for the last half an hour, but I remember doing that last season during the home games against Leek and Grantham. Difference this year is that we hung on to take all three points. We can’t play exciting football every week, so these three points today are an indication of how to win the league. Grind out results when you play badly. Once again, great win. Well done Witton.
Lots of people viewing but not many comments?
Perhaps you are all out celebrating the fact we maintained our position (probably a home banker pre-kickoff), despite a good away win for the cod-pieces!
What was the atmosphere like considering the JV comments in mid-week?
What was the team?
Team was from memory
Kennedy
Coo replaced by spearitt
Kearney (who had a great grame)
Pritch
Brownhill
Wilson replaced by wood
Lloyd
Macca
Peers replaced by Brodie
Warlow (3 great goals)
Thornley who to be honest did not have a great game but scored a lovely goal to finaly settle the game got cught offside about 12 times!
My assesment of the game was that we didn’t hit the heights of previous performances, the pitch was waterlogged due to heavy rain beforehand and maybe this affected our play but overall it was one of those grind out a win games that people on here seem to be so keen on. I disagree that the defence was poor and the midfield great, macca dissapeared for a large portion of the second half and I’ve never seen Lloyd give the ball away so much, the defence was under a lot of pressue and Kearner was superb against a very quick forward line
Not Brazil today folks,but a result ground out with no lack of effort from every player.
Adam clearly MOM for such a magnificent first half trio of goals. The pitch was very heavy due to a lot of overnight rain, so praise to the groundstaff for their efforts.
Nice to see Kearney back he had a great game both at centre and right back when Coo went off. Thornley had one of his quieter games but stuck in there and got his reward in the end to calm the fans nerves.
Not much noise behind the goals again despite the managers programme notes thanking and praising them for their support ! 
Match Report from yesterday…
Witton Albion 4 North Ferriby United 2
Ferriby refused to lie down in this encounter and produced a performance not befitting their place of 20th in the league – for long periods of the game the away side threatened to spoil Albion’s perfect home record.
Adam Warlow’s fourth hat-trick of the season ultimately proved to be the difference and made it nine successive home wins for Jim Vince’s side.
Warlow’s first came on 10 minutes. Mark Peers was fed by Rod Thornley on the right and the Witton winger’s measured cross was met by a powerful Warlow header at the back post.
Despite long periods of Ferriby pressure Witton and Warlow doubled the scoreline on 38 minutes with an individual piece of brilliance from the former Crewe Alexandra striker – he picked the ball up inside the Ferriby box and drilled a fierce right foot shot across Pecora and into the net.
The visitors pegged a goal back within a minute. A deep cross over the head of Brian Pritchard in the Witton defence fell to the feet of Gary Bradshaw who made no mistake from close range.
In the final minute of the first half Warlow completed his ‘perfect’ hat-trick, this time despatching a left foot shot from fifteen yards out – taking his tally for the season to 16! (Note; Mr Simpson from The Guardian has since corrected this to 17 and I bow to his superior knowledge - numbers are so dull)!
Albion’s two-goal half time lead was reduced to one within a minute of the restart – Bradshaw again profited from a defensive lapse and coolly slotted home his second.
Midway through the second period Ferriby came close to equalising as the ball fizzed across Albion’s six yard box from a right wing cross. Minutes later Witton keeper John Kennedy was called to produce a finger tip save to turn a driven shot over the bar.
In the dying seconds Rod Thornley earned himself a deserved goal that secured Witton the three points - a long through ball left Thornley with a defender and the keeper to beat, which he did with a delicate chip over the advancing Pecora.
Witton will be tested by a run of three consecutive away games between now and Boxing Day all against sides in the bottom half of the table – whilst yesterday’s performance was not on song they look favourites to be the Christmas number one!
Match Rating; 3/5
Star Man; Adam Warlow. Clinical finishing from the Albion front man proved why he widely considered the Unibond’s hottest property!
Attendance; 373
Witton Albion; Kennedy, Coo, Brownhill, Pritchard (Cpt), Kearney, Wilson, MacPherson, Lloyd, Warlow, Thornley, Peers. Subs; Spearritt (71 forCoo), Wood (57 for Wilson), Brodie (80 for Peers).
What a tough game that was, full credit to North Ferriby who can consider themselves very unlucky not to have come away with at least a point. Not playing well at the moment, but full credit to the lads for sticking at it and eventually grinding out a result and a valuable 3 points. Agree with the other posts that the mom must be Adam with his perfect hat-trick, header, left and right. Ian Kearney again solid at the back.
Opposition teams looking at the result will just see 4 - 2 and it looks emphatic. That will do for me!
We’re there to be shot at, and teams will turn up and put us under alot of pressure as Ferriby did yesterday. Mid-table teams will probably be easier opposition than those fighting at the wrong end.
A very true comment.
well done witton three points well earned.
during the course of a season we are going to experience a dip in form, just ask hednesford an telford last year, wasnt everyone else playing for 3rd place then.
also lets give credit to the teams we play, anyone notice hucknalls result at the weekend?.
its when you have a dip in form, and still grind out a 4.2 win that you think it could be our year at last.
again well done to jim and the team.
