Full Time Score from Wincham Park:
Witton Albion 0 Stalybridge Celtic 1.
Yet another negative boring display of football. Totally fed up and cannot see where our next goal is coming from. Star man was our keeper. People will not continue watching a non-event, things have to improve and fast.
John, I thought the first half Witton played ok, 2nd half I thought was a reaction from extra time on Tuesday taking effect. Maybe it’s time for the club to find some money for the management to bring players in . Don’t forget the playing budget was cut significantly in the summer so the management had their hands tied with regards to bringing an expensive experienced goal scorer & Rob , Jay Foley being injured hasn’t helped
I thought playing a 5-3-2 was a big mistake, with wing backs who can not play it (Gards and Devine could). 4-4-2 has been solid so far especially with Goulding and Smart in centre mid the only thing missing has been goals so, we sign a new attacking midfielder and switch it all around ?
I don’t accept tiredness, it was last Tuesday we played. The trouble was only 3 players played well keeper, Wardle and Goulding everyone one else were really below par with mistakes everywhere. New striker looked sharp but maybe lightweight but too early to judge him. We still need a striker to replace Rob Hopley or we will continue to struggle. UTA
