Looks like a first defeat of the season is on the cards.
According to the Bridge twitter feed we should have taken the lead before they scored. Hey ho, how often does that happen ?
Still time.

Looks like it was a great effort by the albion lads - but not quite enough to get us past a team 2 leagues higher in the pyramid. Would be good to hear a first hand account from someone at the game. Onwards and Upwards !!

Hard luck lads, sounds like we came close, a great effort overall in the cup this year let’s continue with the league
Just got home from the game and I’m gutted! Stalybridge did nothing but cheat and moan and tell the ref what to do (just like on saturday) and he bought it!
How they scored two goals us beyond me, but at the same time we are seriously lacking fire power up front, we can’t expect Rob to do it all on his own.
I know how us wittoners are and now we’ve lost a game it’ll all be doom and gloom but let me tell you, every lad in a Witton shirt worked his arse off tonight and I was proud to be a Witton fan at the end of the game.
I’m not sure how many Stalybridge fans would feel that way.

This set of lads are putting the pride back in to those red and white shirts, they never know when to give up and are a credit to Carl and his team. I am confident Carl will strengthen up top. Great effort tonight, well done to all.
