Half Time Score from The Autoworld Arena:

Matlock Town 2 Witton Albion 0.

Albion being out-muscled by the hosts, second goal came when Witton didn’t deal with a corner and a defender got in Andy Robertson’s way.

Alex Titchiner had Witton’s best chance when one on one with John Kennedy but lifted the ball into the Keeper’s hands.

Good news please.

Seems strange dropping Shaw ! Have we gone 4 4 2 ? With our squad we have played much better as 5 3 2 with Shaw in the defence why change it !

Latest Score from The Autoworld Arena:

Niall McManus almost certainly clinches the game for the home side.

I know that Shaw was struggling after last week’s game but, if he was fit enough to be on the bench then surely he could’ve played from the start.

Witton Substitution:

Jon Dawson replaced by Jamie Henders on 61 minutes.

75 minutes played:

Two teams that deserve to be relegated on that performance, I have never witnessed a game at that level as poor as that.

I’d agree with that apart from I think Matlock might stay up. Woeful.
