Another night match to enjoy and to see if the lads can reproduce Saturdays form ? Team wise barring injuries ! can’t see us changing the team of course depending on Hepple injury which was a heel problem. Good luck whoever plays UTA
Witton return to the U Lock It Stadium on Tuesday night for the first of two successive home games when they welcome Hanley Town in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
The Staffordshire club find themselves in the bottom two of the table going into the game but the challenge facing the Albion will be far from easy.
They have faired badly on their travels with one win from fifteen away games, a 3-0 success at Mossley earlier in the season but they have already beaten Witton at home so will be hoping to complete the double over Ben Harrison’s team.
Witton go into the game following an excellent result at high-flying Congleton Town at the weekend so will be looking to build on that and climb up the table.
Substitute Mamadou Djabi was the Witton hero on Saturday, scoring both goals and will be hoping to go on a run of form to add to his five goals already this season.
Witton will once again be without the services of midfielder James Lawrie who sits out the second of his three match ban.
Despite their lowly position Hanley won’t make it easy for Witton and they will have to perform in order to achieve the desired outcome.
Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 7.45pm.
