Witton face the biggest week of their season so far with two crucial league games in the space of three days against relegation-threatened Grantham Town and Nantwich Town respectively.
The two games won’t define their season but they can go a long way towards determining their premier division status as they face a busy month ahead.
The Gingerbreads currently sit bottom of the table with Witton one place above them having played fewer games so the games is the proverbial six-pointer in many ways.
The game gives the Lincolnshire side the chance to complete the double over Albion following their 4-1 win at the U Lock It Stadium earlier in the season, probably one of Witton’s worst performances of the season.
The weather has caused massive disruption to Witton in recent weeks so they will be hoping to finally return to action and pick up three very important points.
Despite their inactivity, the position at the lower end of the table hasn’t really changed that much with teams taking points off each other so the gap isn’t that great, but we can’t afford to allow it to grow any wider.
Eye brows must have been raised a few weeks ago when Grantham overcame a two-goal deficit against Ashton United in the dying minutes turning what looked like a 3-1 defeat into a 4-3 victory, with three goals in injury time.
Amazingly, that represented the Gingerbreads first home league win in almost three years, the last being a 1-0 success against the Albion during the 2019 season.
Witton face a lot of games in the coming month and there are still lots of points to be played for but the recovery needs to start now and on their day, they are more than capable of achieving it.
Kick off at the South Kesteven Sports Stadium is 3pm.
