The Robins pull one back on 57 minutes.
Is it because I’m a lifelong Witton fan that I’m fully expecting a second half come back and a last minute winner for Ashton?

Great win :clap
Fantastic result. Gutted I wasn’t there. Ashton away on a cold Wednesday night isn’t a fixture any team in the league would look forward to.
Up to 4th but as unlikely as it is, if all the teams below us with games in hand, won those games in hand, we would be 7th. Looking at this weekend’s fixtures I’d argue that all 6th of those teams that are above us or ‘could’ go above us have games they would expect to win so imperative we get behind the lads on Saturday, keep this momentum going and pick up the 3 points

Never a doubt in my mind. Can’t be doing with all the doom merchants.
Ashton weren’t very good at all, though their home form isnt great whereas our away form is.
There was a bit of a melee second half, with a shocking two footed leg breaker by their number 5. It turned into a bit of a brawl and put it this way, you wouldn’t mess with Powelly :laugh: Yellows for both when nobody could have complained if it was two reds.
Shocking officiating again but then what else do we expect in this league.
Commanding performance from the Albs and a very vocal showing from the travelling fans B)
Gutted I couldn’t be there tonight, sounds like a cracking win. Fantastic to be up in 4th place at this stage of the season.
Probably our biggest game of the season on Saturday… PLEASE get behind the team. Too often its the same 15 people behind the goal; everybody make noise and lets inspire this team to great things.
We’ve got 11 games left, we may not get into the play-offs, but throw everything at it, every ounce.

Top result ! :clap Here’s hoping for another 3 points on Saturday .
Great result and played very well in the first half in very cold and windy conditions, second half was harder but we still had chances witton looked a much better team than Ashton all round we seem to be hitting a bit of form at the right time uta
