Team news: Witton make a number of changes to the starting line-up from Saturday’s home defeat against Chasetown. Steve Foster & Ronnie Morgan partner Carl Lamb in attack whilst Colin McAllister switches to right back in place of Dylan Adams, Jamie Tandy returns in place of Lee Neville. Midfielder Ryan Broadhead comes in for Mark Cadwallader who drops down to the bench alongside Steve Brodie & Mike Moseley who is recalled into the squad. Dylan Adams, Lee Neville & Sean Doherty are omitted.
second half option take Pritch and Mcallister off, bring Super Mike and Brodie on, then it’ll be 0-7-4 you’ve got to admire the attacking intent here!!
Any result would be great tonight a win would be brilliant!! However they are lining up I admire this its an amazing team selection cummon albioooooon!!!
It is almost impossible to believe that despite already having lost 8 games in the league this season we could still win it!! A run of five or six undefeated and we would probably be top! See you on Saturday. (God willing).
WHS.
An important 3 points, it was not pretty but we have to beat the clubs in positions above us.
I thought we battled well and effort levels were good. It could have easily been a couple of goals a piece, we missed a pen and they missed one clear opportunity from a header 10 minutes from the end.
In fairness to the manager he had to field probably the only team he could last night. The keeper was not fit to play but the reserve keeper has mumps! Lee Neville was away on holiday, Dylan Adams injured (?). Ruffer still suspended, Booth a long term injury and then to cap it all Maylett substituted with what looked a bad injury after about 20 minutes! Had to mitigate for any of that.
With Broadhead and Tandy in the back four it meant Pritch had a busy night, these two are too important to our midfield to be playing at the back but needs must and both at least put the effort in. Ryan’s attitude has impressed me whenever he has played, you can forgive a player at this level for some failings but he more than compensates for this with total commitment.
We could not get any control in midfield (due largely to the formation) and both clubs appeared to bypass the midfield with longer balls into the forwards.
It certainly will not go down as a classic and we were hanging on for the final whistle but the result and the points are what matter, we needed a win and hopefully it will help turn the corner. There are 4 points separating the top 4 clubs!!! At this stage the league is anyones, nobody looks like they want to win it at the moment!!! Time to step up to the challenge.
On last nights game - the support was poor - the nearest away ground and some so called fans could’nt be ar*ed going - pathetic ! It’s not as if there was any decent games on TV !
Wasn’t at the game and didn’t watch the TV football, won’t do a WHS and bore you with the details Eli - but some things are more important than football (suffice to say Shanks was wrong).
3 points on the road is all that matters. It is indicative of the standard that we are playing at, that we are still in with a shout of promotion.
