Whatever the organisation you have to have a leader, be it the PM in Downing street or the guys collecting the recycling rubbish each week. Faz is supposed to be the leader of the management team and needs to demonstrate that to the players / fans and media. But credit where it's due they did well at the end of last season, as we all know, and have currently produced a very fit and young group of players, many of whom can expect to move onwards and upwards in their careers. What perhaps is now becoming a problem is the lack of both football management experience and, more importantly, man management / motivational skills. You cannot get experience from books or attending seminars, but by putting in the time. Welling are giving the management team the opportunity to gain the experience they need, I just hope that it doesn't cost us our hard won place in the National League.

 But that's the whole point. Nearly all post match interviews are conducted as a trio.

When Faz was announced as manager at the meet the manager evening he pointedly corrected the announcement and said it is a management team. There are two camps...

Camp 1 -  "Three heads are better than one" - not sure that is the case if the three heads offer conflicting opinions. Or

Camp 2 - "Too many cooks spoil the broth" or "too many chiefs and not enough Indians"

I love Faz and what he has done at WUFC but I want A manager and some coaches so it is Camp 2 for me.

I think the difference is both psychological in identifying one person in overall charge for both the players and supporters, and practical as the Manager must take responsibility  for decision making.

I'm with Wingnut on this one.

You can only have one person in charge at the top, the two others are assistants or should be. But it doesn't matter what the management structure is, I was there on Saturday freezing cold and downright miserable at such an abject performance when the opponents were the worst team I have seen all season. 
Am not trying to be too critical but was really down after the result and performance on Saturday and have questioned if I can be bothered to watch another game like that if it is cold. I think some great signings have been made Chambers, Lokko, Vidal, Porter, Harry Lee, Tom King, Kabba if he is used the right way would be okay, Bakare will be okay, just very frustrated at the lack of goals and negative formation.

Anyway, hope the Management Team figure out where they are going wrong and think we need to play a 5-2-3 against Carlisle with 3 centre backs as looking on their player profiles they look like a big physical strong team with plenty of goals in them. COYW.

I'd agree with a lot of the suggestions made above, the key, to me, must be for THE manager to make the best use of the resources at his disposal. HE may have to try and fit a few square pegs in round holes, but at least get 9 players in their best positions, playing a formation they understand, and to a strategy to beat the opposition.

Agree with all 10 of those points.

I think we're all in agreement Vidal should be playing no. 10. But it's no good playing him behind a midget.

I'd like to see the 3-5-2 wingback formation return. Corne and Lee holding, Vidal ahead of them behind Bakare and Porter. Barney/Nortei and Harris/Jefford providing the width. Bakare isn't a giant like Tashan but is 10x the footballer and has enough of a physical presence about him, whilst Porter would actually have someone alongside him to play the ball to once he's worked his nuts off to chase after it in the channel or out wide.

Mr Wellard on the bench. I said a couple of months ago he's a poor man's Joe Healy. He got dropped and then returned to have a couple of decent games. Maybe he needs another reminder.

 Be careful you don't get a call from Mr Healy's lawyer...?!

 Every time we have played 3 at the back its an absolute shambles, loui basicaly admitted that at meet the manager meeting... 

---

 Is this the same bloke that said we would play 3-4-1-2 before this season started?!

---

 We played it for two or three games at start and then went back to four at the back, I recall loui or matt saying the players were not comfortable with it and it showed when we played it.
