Dominic Marie hit a hat trick in Bootle’s 3-3 draw with 1874 at Barton Stadium this afternoon.
Well done Dominic, still he was only playing sunday league lads !
With Cropper not fully fit, surely Dominic would’ve been a better option on the bench.
Evo-Stik League website have AGAIN credited Witton’s goal to Daniel WHEELER - Andrews.
Wasn’t at the game today so am not in a position to criticise. Was the reason for Titch being subbed because he was injured? if this wasn’t the case I find this a bizarre management decision when we needed goals.
I was at the game, I think the reason was because titch ran his socks off today and was up top on his own so was possibly warn out? I would imagine the gaffer thought that bringing 2 fresh strikers on may have changed the game. It didn’t but that was the managers choice.
Titch played well today and I’m sure that people will be frustrated that he was brought off - the above is the only reason I can think of.
Andy Simpson spoke to Albion boss Scott Dundas after the game.
“The changes on the hour were tactical as Baker & Titch had used up all their energy.”
I will be controversial now and say how many of us at the game felt…
Cropper was not fit and shouldn’t of been on the bench, bringing him on for Titch so early in the second half surely could only be down to the old boys club allowing an unfit player the chance to play against one of the big teams?!
Titch looked dumbstruck to see his number come up so early in the 2nd half and he wasn’t carrying an injury so why bring on a player who wasnt fit enough to play?!!
Shocking decision yet again, once too many times for my liking!

Does that mean they were knackered?
Tried watching this last night. The quality was poor, it kept freezing every few seconds.
