Witton Albion 2 - 0 Mossley

The postponement of intervening games at Lancaster City and Leigh Genesis turned the home and away league meetings with Witton Albion into back-to-back fixtures for the Lilywhites and by all accounts that was the most interesting thing about Mossley’s venture to Wincham Park.

Yes, two goals were scored by the home side but the comments (or the lack of them in Mossley’s case) on club message boards and some of the opinions I’ve heard from supporters who went suggest that this was the first ‘end of season’ encounter of the campaign. If true it’s a trifle worrying in Mossley’s case given that they still have 17 games left to play before the actual end of the season is reached. Coupled with a spot in the play-offs not being beyond the realm of possibility (even if it’s a possibility where the use of the word faint to describe it would be an underexaggeration) it isn’t as though there’s nothing left to play for, even if it is only a top ten finish.

One game poor game however isn’t going to make too huge a dent in any promotion aspirations we may have left. It’s only when they turn into a string of them that you abandon all hope of entertainment and begin to daydream about how things will surely be better next season.

Idly speculating about likelihood of watching mid-table snoreathons at some point in the near future isn’t talking about this match though so if you want to know more (and it’s possible there maybe someone out there who does) then click here and for the official views from the Mossley and Witton camps respectively.

Maybe things will be better in the next match against... (checks fixtures) Wakefield. Ah. Not to worry, there's always the game after that.
