Its out of our hands now and up to Leek
Both Fleetwood and us need the win. Should be a good crowd. All the witton fans need to come down and support leek for the night
just got back from the game. im gutted! i cant believe it! i know their goal was a freak goal and there were a few bad calls from the ref, but we just seemed to crumble under the presure like we did against fleetwood. :X
Oh well. positive head on now, really hope leek do us a favour, but dare i say there is always the play offs.
We didn’t play as well as we could but there is no doubt the wind played a huge part in the game - and definitely in their goal. The first hlaf we had 3 really good chances and took none of them, in the second hlaf they hardly got out of their own half. They played the 10 men they had (and that could have been far fewer) desperately trying to defend that fluke goal and almost managed it until the pen. We should have had another pen for handball straight after that but not given.
Lots of things we could have done better, so could the ref who had an absolute mare. Ferriby had one sent off and 5(?) booked plus their manager ordered from the dugout. With a better ref they could easily have been down to 7 or 8 players
BUT ITS NOT OVER YET. We have to keep going and IF we end up in the play offs so be it.
Lets get ready for next Saturday - You never know what will happen
Just got back from North Ferriby and am very disappointed, not a good performance on the whole but we obviously are having to deal with players missing especially at the back. Too many players didn’t perform on the day which is very unusual but we still should have had enough to beat them. They kicked us around and got men behind the ball. Thought Junior did well and was surprised when he went off. Ref was poor and didn’t help but we may still have a chance, you never know.
On another note I would like to say how we were let down by one or two of our younger supporters at the final whistle. Their foul language and abuse aimed a couple of Ferriby supporters was un-called for and not welcome. Lads, we sometimes don’t win, get over it and move on.
Just got back. We were bullied out of the game today and the ref was rubish, i could say worse about him:angry: The freak goal knocked us but they cut us out of the game by fouling everytime we got in their half. They should of had 3 sent off not 1. The tackle on J. Brown was shocking and could of caused a real bad injury it was worse than the sending off. We did miss a few chances in the first half but Ferriby kept everyone behind the ball and made it very hard for us.Loyd had a bad game but the pitch did not suit our methord of play or loyds passing game, i thourght pritch was faultless and my man of the match. COME ON LEEK and roll on saturday this league is NOT won yet by far lets keep fighting.
Think your clutching at straws there! you didnt think we would be there but i think its advantage cod heads at the moment:P

It is advantage fleetwood but it was advantage Witton before today. A week is a long time in football!

Once again we seemed to have plucked defeat from the jaws of victory, and on the same day Vics appear to have saved themselves, I feel genuinely sick. WE ARE CURSED!!!
WHS.
Maybe it will all come right in the playoffs? unless you bottle that as well??:S
Play offs are lottery.
Just got back.Nightmare of a game.A freak goal,rubbish ref [hope the assessor has something say about Mr.Chapman]and a sheer thuggery by North Ferriby players.Still,I can’t blame them as they are fighting to avoid relegation.God knows what happened to passing game.I don’t think our captain managed to pass a decent ball to a yellow shirt.
Just very off game.I am not banking on Leek and looking to play offs.
OH BO****KS.
There is hope, Leek won again today.
WHS.
One final positive word,if Fleetwood lose at Leek we will only have to draw our final game to be champions.
WHS.
Lets put today behind us and look to next saturday,we need the three points,and hope that Leek do us a favour?even if they draw next week and we win it will level on points,and we should go up with having better goal difference?thats if i,ve worked it out right?/
Not the best game today, but we can put that behind us and make sure we win just to be safe, and hope that fleetwood lose their game. There was a great turnout with our fans creating a great atmosphere, well done.
I think its a joke that we are sat here putting all our faith in Leek. If it happens it happens, but realistically its probably not going to, lets just face that. Its our own fault. No excuses for today. We can blame the ref, and wind and all that, but we are just trying to cover the fact WE WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! And i feel very dissapointed because i didnt see an ounce of the commitment like they showed on tuesday night.
Not a happy wittoner
