Ravens View of Northwich

Last updated : 13 November 2006 By Bob Gear

I thought Northwich gave a reasonable account of themselves, but we looked like scoring every time we attacked.

At 2-0 they should have pulled one back, just before the half time whistle, but missed a free header from 2 yards out.

The start of the 2nd half saw them hit the post, Kuipers make 2 great saves and after the second one Robinson broke free to make it 3-0 and kill off the game.

The 300 Northwich fans didnt stop singing and even we sang quite a lot (mainly to try and drown out the Fatty Taxman who kept on breaking into song - Tiffany, Paul Young etc etc)

Robinson was on fire on Saturday. 3 great goals and he was involved in so much. Cox was also unstoppable, scoring 2 and constantly setting up Robinson and Revell.

Revell scored 1 and could have had 5. Great to see Gatting finally score and nice to see Rents open his account. Hammond and El-Abd played superbly in central midfield.

Lynch was in at Right back and didnt look 100% comfortable, but he had 2 long shots trying to get on the score sheet.

So another home draw, lets hope the misssing Albion fans come back and we can fill Withdean, its the most exciting football for a few years!

Saturday was rounded off nicely by going to see Bruce Springsteen at Wembley Arena, all in all a rather fantastic weekend!
