Match summary from anyone who attended?
How many of their goals were from corners?
Told you Garnett could score goals bangwall
Just heard that Billy Reeves was missing through illness, Wes Benjamin unavailable. Apparently, Belper had two very good forwards - one who had a brief spell with us Ruben Wiggins - Thomas. Had one penalty should’ve had others, had one cleared off the line.
The other stat from the game - 10 Yellow Cards (5 Belper, 5 Witton).
Note to self---- Don’t bother going to Belper again. Got beat again, suffering from severe hypothermia and struggled to digest the leather encrusted pie .sick . The game itself was OK, Belper were sharper than us and deserving of the three points. Pretty high number of bookings for what wasn’t a bad tempered game, five each side and maybe a linesman or two, just to show who was the boss out there. Couldn.t fault the lads effort or commitment, it just didn,t happen for us today.
only are second defeat of the season so no need for us to get down hearted.UTA.
Well said postyred!!

Not the result we wanted or expected ! I wonder if two hard high tempo games vs Colwyn Bay caught up with our small squad and further missing Reeves, Brown and Benjamin means we were not able to rest or refresh the squad which for me is a bit of a worry the way we play is real push on such a small squad, I think it is time we tried to add a couple of players to keep the squad fresh and competitive- and by that I am not trying to undermine the superb job Carl and the team have done so far but just an opinion as we try to push on for promotion.
