Witton Rating ****
Match Rating ***

Witton continued this weekend’s theme of beating a previous season’s champions, and upsetting the odds, by beating Winsford 1 - 0 this afternoon.

Winsford danger-man Danny Barnes barely got a kick in the entire 26 minutes as Matty Fallows stalked him like a man looking for a restraining order.

Adam Clarke protected the defense, whilst picking out passes like Glenn Hoddle without the religion.

Scott Carter has somehow remembered how to tackle, and even looks up now before passing the ball.

Shaun Carter refused to let a sore rib hamper him too much (ah bless).

Graham Crouch returned to take up his rightful position between the goal posts. He must have got bored at one point, as he seemed happier throwing the ball out to the opposition rather than his team-mates!!

Andy Chad once again played unselfishly, winning his usual plethora of freekicks in the attacking 3rd of the field.

And there was a late cameo from Tom Green, who’s most telling contribution was kicking the ball as far away as he could after the ref blew for a freekick!!!

And it would be nice to add that Winsford took their defeat very sportingly. But it would be a lie so i can’t say that unfortunately!!!

Witton are now top of the league by 2 points after 4 games. 3 points clear of Winsford in 3rd.

A cracking weekend for Witton Supporters…

Very well done lads.

I think it’s important to note that Clarkey plays more like Rodney Marsh than Glenn Hoddle - he’s shown that if you can tackle a bit and pass it a bit you can get away with not running around at all!!

5

I was told to play the Michael Carrick role by the gaffer!

6

What he told you to keep giving the ball away cheaply?!?!

7

No, my tactical advice at 1 nil was ‘Kick it in the f***ing river’!!! As Dann will testify… :blush:

8

Your actual tactics for the day were:

“Get one-nil up and then hoof the f**king ball into the river. Or anywhere. Just hoof it as far away as possible”

Almost Fergie/Wenger like… oh no, wait…:wink:

I wasn’t wrong though was i… :stuck_out_tongue:
