Played very well, as other people have said great all round performance. Thought we defended really well. Pressured the ball when we lost possession also put some good pieces of play together when going forward. Good finish from Thomo for our first goal, Greg made a couple of excellent saves.
Best of all we are off the bottom :laugh: 
:laugh:
Awesome result today and a joy to watch (especially in the first half)
Solid goalkeeper and defence, midfield that loves to get stuck in and pace up front…GF has built a great side.
Job isn’t done by any means but we have given ourselves a great chance.

Welcome Little Eva!
You do realise your life will never be the same again. Praise be to the Lord that you have seen the light.
Once you have finished with the light, can we borrow it, as our floodlights arn’t too good at the moment?
I wasn’t going to go to the match today but had a change of heart. Glad i did now great result and good performance how this team has changed under Gary finlay. So just wanted to say well done lads keep it up.
TT.
I believe we have got some new floodlights on the way thanks to his lordship the very reverand Cu*tit. Woooops sorry Connett.
I dont think we should mock those less fortunate than ourselves!
Need any help putting them up?:lol:
Grazzer
Mate Read comments on general. FOR SALE. I saw you on Tuesday and I heard the sh*t they came out with.
Stu.
nowt wrong with our floodlights this afternoon at wincham park.
Dont watch soaps, dont watch reality tv ( or whatever they call it )but I love a good saga, Vi*s should replace eastenders, it is definately more fun, and more serious.
Stu.
Just like watching Brazil today - well we were playing in yellow !
Onwards and upwards !
Had our red and white kit been held to ransome?
Just found this on the marine forum.

Well done Pritch
Awesome performance. For me the best win of the season. We battled hard and grafted out our 3 points. It now looks like we have players who are wanting play and fight for this clubs survival.
I hope we can build on this and battle for another 3 points against FC United!
:laugh:
Hello from the Glenlyon branch of the Witton Albion supporters club. What a
great win yesterday. Marine are always capable of scoring a lot of goals, so
keeping a clean sheet was a good achievement. I must say, I am more optimistic
about survival since GF took charge. No disrespect to Nige, who is a thoroughly
decent bloke and Wittoner through and through. I noticed a massive difference
between the performances against Hednesford and the more recent game against
Bradford PA. More spirit, better shape, more coherence.
Keep up the good work.
Only just got online up here, good to see Drew still posting and of course
Eli Gorton.
Poor old V*cs ha ha ha !
See you all soon.
An excellent performance and result.
All round the “team” was spot on, that is the management, the players and the travelling fans.
We showed Marine how to do it on and off the pitch.
The chanting to drown out that god awful band was great.
Amongst many ingredients in the mix we now have the magic one,confidence.
Well done Gary,Lee and the lads.
Sorry it’s late, that’s what happens when Chad Snr swaps his pen for paella!
UniBond League Premier Division – Saturday 17th January, 2009.
MARINE 0 WITTON ALBION 2
Att. 413
TEAM: Smith; Scott, Pritchard (c), Booth, Warner; Lugsden, Olsen, James, Dunn; Black, Thompson (Dunne 75). Subs n/u King & Schwarz
Witton broke anchor from the league’s basement with a hard-earned victory over the Mariners!
Lee Thompson’s blistering individual start could have seen the visitors take the lead inside the first 20 seconds; he found himself unmarked on the edge of the box but his shot rolled agonisingly wide of the right post.
It took less than sixty seconds for the returning striker to atone for the miss! A searching ball over the Marine defence found Thompson free in the box and his fierce left foot strike was too accurate and too powerful for Sean Lake to stop.
Thompson’s return to the starting line-up was watched by the man who has restricted the player’s recent appearances. Mike Moseley’s scheduled return to Bradford Park Avenue was delayed by their postponement and the Albion favourite could only have admired the confidence of the finish.
Witton had further chances to extend their early lead, Neil Black was thwarted twice by Lake as the visitor’s carved open Marine’s frail defence.
Hampered by the facing wind Alvin McDonald’s side looked anything but play-off contenders. High balls to Tuck and O’Donnell were either dealt with by the conditions or the impenetrable partnership of Pritchard and Booth who towered over their opponents.
Ashley Dunn bossed the midfield for Albion, whereas the Mariners were lifeless without Lawless. The club’s former midfielder received only an FA warning for his controversial taunts away at FC United, however was shown the door at the Arriva Stadium on Tuesday.
Marine’s improved second half response was still unable to break the Albion backline. They came closest on the hour when Paul Woolcott’s 35 yard free kick crashed against the angle of post and bar. Restricted to long range attempts, Phil Brazier’s effort five minutes later was narrowly over the bar.
Greg Smith, enjoying one of his quieter afternoons in the Witton goal, was called upon in the final stages, producing a good save from substitute Darren Brockfield’s drive.
Witton’s one goal lead looked like being enough, however in time added on a counter attack down the left sealed the win. James Olsen ran the ball into the box and his low cross found the net off the heal of a Marine defender.
Only North Ferriby can boast more wins on the road than Witton, of Albion’s seven victories this term six have been away from Wincham Park!
From a Vics fan, well done Witton. Great win at Marine. Is it me or do you seem to play much better away?
Was very impressed with the teams effort and commitment on Saturday, we looked very strong, fit and willing to support each other.
Does anybody know how long we’ve got young Ashley Dunn for? Some of the Marine lads I spoke with mentioned his work rate and the way he always kept things simple, and in the match report for such a young lad the way he bossed the midfield was impressive.
