FT Witton 2 - 1 Mossely. 91st min Danny Andrews
I am now really beginning to believe this is a totally NEW Witton, WE scored to win it in the last minute, that NEVER happens!!! Great effort today against a committed, big side who will take points off other teams at the top. I was SO impressed by some of the chasing and covering especially Matt Woods, my “Man of the Match”. Just 5 points behind Curzon and Fylde now. I will be there Tuesday, will you?

I dont know whether Schofield wasnt quite fit? But we looked a much more balanced side once he came on. We looked a bit “square pegs ion round holes” up to that point.
When we’re chasing games, i’d also love to see our wingers switch flanks from time to time.
But the gaffer gets paid to make these decisions, so before i get told off, i’m just expressing my opinion
Great to snatch the win at the end, shows great character.
Well done boys.
How late in each half were those goals?
VERY LATE!!! By the way, did you hear that Vics kicked off about an hour late because their pitch wasn’t fit to play on? And they have the cheek to call our pitch “The Swamp”!!

A hard fought game today. Both sides did not deserve to lose. Glad we won though. Cements our position in the play off place. Thought we were a better balanced side when Tom Schofield came on. He’s goin to be an accomplished footballer thats for sure. Reminds me of a young Glen Hoddle!SBL
Im so proud of how the boys never gave up. It
s hard to win against any team that puts so many players behind the ball.
Thought Cooper was outstanding today, kept us in the game during the first half with 2 fantastic saves. Sheens was also superb in the middle of the park.
Good result and a very important 3 points. UTA
Good 3 points against a side who defended really well on the day. We kept playing our football and got our just rewards at the end. I was very impressed by there number 10 won everything in the air and worked hard with a few nice touchs. If we’re after a big forward think he would fit the bill and he would give us something different. Handy for defending set pieces too.
The way we play I cannot see him fitting in to be honest. We play our best football on the deck; sometimes it takes time to work as it did on Saturday, but it invariably does and when it does God does it look good!
WHS.
great result well played lads, keeps us in contention, a strange decision with with the midfield but we got the result so well done pritch and team onwards and upwards.
Very happy to get the win after a very frustrating game. Thought Mossley played ok and had a couple of useful players.
Gardener getting another goal was great as he has scored 3 or 4 this season - not bad for a full back
Would hope we could work on using Ben and Boothy on corners more effectively as since Pritch has stopped playing we are not much threat in the air off corners.
Overall very happy with the 3 points keep it going boys
a gritty performance against a team who got as many men as possible behind the ball. well done to pritch, mose and the players for grinding out 3 valuable points. come on witton.
