In the circumstances what a brilliant win, playing with 10 men for an hour or more the team put in a superb effort to gain all 3 points - a very valuable win. How nice it was to see Tom Owens back He makes a big difference to our play well played Witton UTA
Echo that. Up until about 70 minutes it was difficult to see which team had 10 men. A little bit of squeaky bum time at the end but the lads deserved the win anyway.
Great resilience shown yesterday and a well deserved victory. We still need some pace and goals up front which is clearly evident with our inability to put games to bed. I just hope that Carl has irons in the fire UTA
