Great win for the lads today and fantastic resilience when home side equalised
Be interested to see how the glass is half empty tonight for some
Chuffed with the win sounds like it was a bit scary at the end, looking forward to seeing Powell on Tuesday hope he makes a difference just need that striker now oh and rabbit go boli your head in a stew pot ! I live and breathe witton so don’t take your insults kindly I like to analyse result and the team and look for improvement having run teams for 25 years I cannot help it so don’t you call me a moaner with a glass half full if you do not keep trying to improve you will go backwards even if you are a good team.
A good win and much needed 3 points.
Not a classic game but we did well to score 2 after their late,undeserved, equaliser.
Their keeper made some good saves but all our goals were excellent finishes, giving him no chance.
Steve Foster worked tirelessly and everyone contributed on a slippery surface. I thought the introduction of Ollie James made a big difference.
Excellent turn out of Wittoners albeit visually disturbing in some cases.
Note to CJ: you presume RO is directing his comments at you! You do always come over as relentlessly negative, but then it’s a free speech forum!!
Good win against an in form Whitby. Judging by the photos and status updates on Facebook looks like we had a great weekend. Maybe Congleton will prove to be a turning point as we kept going and got the win and did the same against Whitby.

Dodger seeing as though he stated comments to cj in a previous thread on glass half full I think my comment reasonable - at matches I only cheer ans support on here I debate but I forget on here you are not allowed an opinion get a bloody life and debate or stay off the forum and don’t drive others off again.
Excellent win! Gutted I couldn’t be there sounds as tho a great time had by all… Lets push on back into the playoffs. Hope tucker is fit enough to start games again soon as his goals will be v important for ensuring a great finish to the season
