Well done, not heard from anyone but I’m sure it must have been a battle up there, especially with the current weather.[br][size=1]Posted on: December 08, 2007, 05:27:53 PM[/size][hr]You have to laugh, a quote from the Worksop forum
"We played well today and we should of got something out of it. I also expected them to play better saying were they are in the league but they didn’t they just had luck on their side, it was good keeping from Hernandez as he saved us from going further behind, were going to miss him now."
Now we had the luck yet their keeper did well to keep our score down?
We should of had a couple more really but for their keeper, but at the same time they could have nicked another goal. Macca was class, and Brodie had his best game for a while.
At times in the first half we absolutely cut them to ribbons!!
Apart from that we needed a police escort out of the ground due to about 15 asbo’s waiting for us outside the ground!!!
Brilliant team performance today in terrible weather conditions. Another class goal from Adam, missed Peersy goal due to queueing for coffee. 
No individual MoM they were all MOM ( subs included ). Worksop improved in the second half but Witton defended strongly from the front to the back. Credit to the groundsman for the condition of the pitch ( Sheff Wed game abandoned today ), also the stewards for their handling of the mindless idiots who did their best to spoil the day.
PS Not one moan today ? ???
Yes, great result today, and for once I’m not going to say we ground out a result. Worksop never looked like scoring after the first minute chance they had. We are back to our best. Some of the football we played in the first half was brilliant, we should have been 4 up at half time. We had to dig in a little second half, but never looked like we were in any danger of them equalising, in fact, I thought we looked dangerous every time we came forward. MoM today was Rob Lloyd, all our good moves went through him, and he did a lot of tackling today too. Having said that, EVERYBODY played well today, like I say, we are back to our best after a little lapse, during which we still managed to win most games. Those 15 or so spoons marauding as Worksop fans were quite entertaining too. They were filming us with their mobile phones at one stage. The long winter nights must fly by in Worksop.
Agree with Danny above…we were great today and always looked like scoring more…
Great set piece leading to the 1st goal…ironically similar to what Jim & Nige were teachin us on thursday night!!
Ok so 2-1 doesnt sound like a walkover but they had a penalty and we could have easily bagged another couple.
Massive 3 points - 10 pts clear does life get any better??
[color=red]COME ON WITEEERRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNN!!![/color] ;D 
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Fantastic result today ! Awesome 
Well done, lads!
Bring on Winsford ???
TLR… ???..Get a life…there is more to sport…look further my m8 please ??? :o Well done Witton but sport is deeper !
UniBond Premier Division – Saturday December 8th 2007
WORKSOP TOWN 1 WITTON ALBION 2 Attendance: 246
TEAM: Kennedy; Coo, Pritchard, Barras, Brownhill; Peers (Kearney 77), Lloyd, MacPherson, Brodie (Spearritt 77); Warlow, Thornley (Wilson 90). MoM Dave MacPherson
Albion extended their unbeaten away record for the season to 12 matches with a great team effort at a very wet Sandy Lane. In addition they also extended their lead at the top to 10 points with several of their title challengers’ matches falling foul of the dreadful weather conditions. Indeed it was blizzard conditions encountered en route and all thought the worse but the actual playing surface that greeted the travelling party was a real credit to the Worksop groundstaff.
No sooner had the match got underway Albion and their faithful followers breathed a huge sigh of relief when Curtis Bernard, brought in for the suspended former Albion striker Kevin Sanasay, made a complete hash of a gift opportunity when he sliced the ball past Jon Kennedy’s right post. Within the next five minutes Witton had fully recovered from that 25 second shock and forced three corners as well as having a possible penalty claim waived aside when Adam Warlow was clearly pushed as he headed the ball goalwards. Kennedy, back at the ground where he commenced his career, produced a neat left handed save in the 24th minute as the Tigers enjoyed their best spell of the afternoon.
Gradually though Witton became stronger and stronger and three minutes after Mark Peers shot wide of the right upright the opening goal came in the 31st minute. It was a text book free-kick move that saw Rob Lloyd hit the ball over the defenders for Brian Pritchard to slide in from outside the left post and pull the ball back for ADAM WARLOW who smashed his 18th goal of the campaign into the roof of the net. Four minutes later following Peers’ neat 1-2 after a flag-kick Warlow again was on hand but this time his shot struck the base of the right upright. The move of the match came in the 39th minute and really deserved a goal. Cavell Coo switched play finding Steve Brodie wide left, he in turn fed Liam Brownhill down the line who then produced a high cross with Dave MacPherson heading just over the crossbar. A minute later Rod Thornley was denied when Town’s keeper Steve Hernandez, completing the final match of his three month loan period from Sheffield United, threw himself to his left to stop the striker’s hard driven drive following yet another Lloyd free-kick.
Albion’s 2nd goal was not long in coming and it was as a result of brilliant vision and approach work from Thornley. He saw the opportunity to bring the ball fully forty yards and as a defender finally came to challenge neatly slipped the ball right to MARK PEERS, who himself had done well to get into a central position and he made no mistake to rack up his personal 12th strike of the campaign, before sitting out his three match suspension, two minutes before the interval. It was almost 3-0 at half-time but for Hernandez who this time saved well from Warlow.
Witton again were caught napping in the early minutes of the second-half with striker Andy White making enough of a Tony Barras challenge to convince the referee to award a penalty-kick that the Tigers very tall substitute Jermaine Palmer duly converted in the 48th minute. Seconds after Thornley had earned himself a caution after stupidly interfering with Hernandez in possession of the ball, the 54th minute saw him produce a deft flick that the keeper caught under his crossbar.
The home team huffed and puffed in their attempts to draw level but despite finding good position skewed their chances wide of the target and it was Albion that finished the game stronger with Brownhill sending his shot wide of the near post before the keeper signed off by denying Thornley making a one-handed save after the lively striker had evaded Town’s intended off-side trap.
I won’t dwell on the unsavoury off the field side of today’s game too much, save to say that it was actually a call from a Witton Albion follower that finally brought the much overdo local constabulary to Worksop Town’s ground!
That was the sort of match we would have, at best, drawn last season.Everyone was immense.I thought Macca revelled in the conditions, all those games in the swamp at Leek must have helped!
Full credit to the Worksop ground staff when you consider local pro games got called off.We’ve got the points in the bag, the chasers have to win their games in hand.
I hope that officials of Worksop are excrutiatingly embarrassed by the presence of those scumbags and the lack of action taken to deal with them during the second half.
It was obvious they were not there to watch football and apparently had been banned from the ground before so why weren’t they ejected?
You can’t go through life without encountering the dregs of society but when they are allowed to stand yards away and abuse you nonstop it does spoil your afternoon.
Summed up perfectly on their forum - "The club needs your support sort out the drunk idiots and also be careful as you are kids all the big talk sounds good but if or more importantly when someone does take you on they will do you big time know your limits"
Sounded like I missed an interesting day…
Absolutely magnificient Saturday and not just the team but our fans behind the goal. The Worksop minority thugs and I stress minority were very definately winding our fans up from where I was sitting in the main stand. One blurt walked past us in the stand "F"ing and "blinding" saying he was going to kill "Witton" fans. This brought an immediate response of Get rid of these thugs ffrom the older Worksop fans. I told the lad to get shouting for his team rather than looking for trouble but I got a mouthful. Fortunately a Steward collared him and told him he’d be turfed out if it continued. Never saw the lad who was about 16 again so whether they got shout of him I don’t know. It’s ashame because we had some great banter with their older fans in the stand and they said the Yobs were a disgrace and should be banned. One old chap was really irate and was berating one of their directors to do something. apparently they’d had a running battle a few weeks before with the Guisley fans which had made the local press and the "Wild Bunch" are giving Worksop a bad name which is a real shame because as I say the majority of their fans were very hospitable.
Anyway we’ve had some stuff on here recently about our fans but I thought they were brilliant Saturday and ignored the intimidation. I’m sure Jim once he hears about this will say the same thing. So my men of the match Saturday were our fans behind the goal. As for the players brilliant result thought we played really well though I defo think we’ll miss Peersie as he was a big diffrence between the teams with his ability to run at the defence. Warlow was at their defence all the time fantastic work rate and Macca was brilliant in the last half hour and the subs who came on played their part in tightening it up when Worksop were attacking us. This puts the pressure back on the following pack now as they know they have to win their games in hand. Lets keep it up everyone this is going to be our season I’m sure. Stamford Saturday and I think they are a little friendlier down there thank god!!
Came across this little gem in their report of Worksop’s game recently at Buxton. "The young Worksop fans were giving the Tigers excellent vocal support as they tried in vain to keep warm"
Must obviously have been a different bunch of young supporters eh :- ???
Was that the same report that was in the NLP who stated that Brian Pritchard ‘miskicked in front of goal’ when talking about the lay off for the first goal! :D[br][size=1]Posted on: December 10, 2007, 06:01:56 PM[/size][hr]If you haven’t seen it, http://www.wittonalbionfc.com/play.php?fixture_id=71 it was some miskick!
