halesowen

won 2-0 hancock and harvey att 303

Really good performance, they were a tough team to break down but we got there in the end and it could have been more. Brilliant commitment from each and every one of them UTA

Thought Sheehan got it spot on tonight, made the change with Howard from the left wing and put him central just before half time, which pushed Hancock out wide and we scored through Hancock early second half. Also a clever move to take Powelly off after their number 7 stamped on him, Powell would have ended up in trouble ha ha! #SheensIn

Excellent second half tonight. Quick passing, attacking the full-backs and a good team display. Didn’t quite work in the first half but they kept trying to play, never just hoofed it. Very good to watch. Stay away Wittoners - Get down and support this team.

I thought we played some really excellent football against a well organised and committed team who were really difficult to break down. No doubt though that we were full value for the 3 points and with a little bit more clinical finishing could/should have scored more during a second half assault on their goal, but the team collectively were all together, played for each other and absolutely run their socks off. No doubt about it Pritch has left us a really good team.

Good 2nd half performance as stated. Changes made and tempo upped made this a 1 sided affair.
Was good to get my reserves here to the game to see how to kill a game and keep possession

Great result, played ok first half without any real punch up front josh and Neil not quite hitting it off together the switch of josh and Howard allowed the 2 of them to be much more involved in an effective way and this in turn brought more out of everybody and we played some really good football and more than deserved the win, mom Powell for me who ran the midfield, all the back four played well and kept Halesowen pretty quiet and no daft keeper errors is a nice bonus, all in all a very good night and won’t have done Sheens chances any harm at all.

Fantastic performance, give Sheehan & co the job now!
Cant wait for the trip to Barwell on Saturday

Very good point and I’m sure Pritch wouldn’t have had it any other way. Felt a bit like the lads did it for him tonight UTA

Great performance tonight. Good to see Josh back and on the score sheet. Harvey was outstanding upfront and thoroughly deserved his goal.

I’d give the Managers job to Sheens tomorrow. He knows the system and style of play Pritch has had us playing and also knows the players in the current squad. The last thing we need is a new Manager from outside the club coming in and ripping the squad apart by bringing in his own players. Thought he got it bang on tactically tonight and wasn’t afraid to make the change and switch Howard to the middle and push Josh out wide.

We have the chance to promote from within and keep the continuity of the last few seasons. With Titch involved as well he may be a future manager.

It could be the start of a bootroom legacy! It worked pretty well at anfield for decades.

ordinary first half, followed by an excellent second half. could have finished 5-0 but for some bad luck and better finishing wanted. for me there were 11 mom, every player ran their socks off and really put in an excellent shift.
if we can play like this on a regularly basis then we will surely be in the running for promotion come the back end of the season.
well done lads. also well done sheenz for getting it right, i also would like to see him given the managers job. he aint done bad so far. as i’ve said before he knows how pritch wanted the team to play and he also knows the players, so let’s go for continuity and give him the job.

Passing was a joy to watch at times, particularly in the 2nd half. Strong performances all round. The shot from Mr Harvey and the brilliant save is my season footy highlight, so far!

Also, well done to the programme team for a fitting tribute to a great man.

Great to see some high praise for the club on Halesowens forum, saying were the best team they have played this season and how nice and friendly the ground is :relaxed:

Very proud to be a Wittoner at the moment and nice to see a few old faces back behind the goal last night, this could be a great season!

The mood around the place certainyl feels much-improved to last year.

Just a shame the man who helped create it all isn’t around to feel the buzz at the moment.

Excellent second half performance - very professional.

Harvey is an excellent pivot for the rest of the the attacking players to work off, and Titch looked very lively when he came on!

Would love to see Sheenz given the job on a full-time basis, IF he is the best applicant for the position. On current evdience though, he must be in the reckoning.

Up to 8th and 1874 lost in FA cup so no big pay day for them, great night!!
