For the first time I feel we have so many injuries it would be acceptable to be **** tonight.

Look at that bench,!!

hOW CAN YOU WENT TO cOLOMBIA, A BIT RANDOM.

No Steve King either.

only 4 subs including 2 youth teamers.

Saints a man down, real chance for us now to bang a few home.

Full details on official site, he sounds a loony.

Hanging on against 9 men who have their centre back in goal!

Dig deep boys!

Well Done lads 3-2 win now lets make it 2 on the spin at the weekend.

^ ????

WTF are you on about, the team has plenty of quality , had injuries and rolled their sleeves up and were good enough to go 3-0 up.

How about giving them some credit. No wool pooled over our eyes? F me what it is with some poeple. I have a distinct impression that some of these arent even welling fans.

Well done lads, same again on Saturday, only this time instead of letting a goal in when THREE NIL UP, go and score a 4th.

I Think it was a compliment??

Sorry for sharing my opinion on a discussion board.

JgFc, I'm quite happy to put my name to the following.

You had to be there to understand why the negativity as in the last 25 we seemed to do everything we could to throw the points away. 3-0 up against 9 men (a Tom Thumb defender in goal) and we had not one decent shot on goal whilst giving away 2 goals. It was just as well St Albans were so poor in the first half or it would have been defeat number 4.

Despite what many have said I will repeat in my opinion Jack Parkinson is not a midfielder and it showed tonight.

2 positives: 3 points and Jake Hobbs.

Can't wait to hear Fordy's comments on the game.

By the way just before the second half started Bastock said Solomon Shields was sent off for 2 footed tackle. Seems strange since St Albans got the free kick.

Spills? A bad apple? In what regard?

This is only my personal opinion but I dont feel he is a "team player" I never see him encouarging the players just berating them for mistakes. For instant there was  tonight Hughesy gave away a free kick and Protheroe pushed him in the chest to sort of say what you doing. Now to me he is our assistant manager and he should be encouraging his players and to make it worse not two mins later he makes a terrible clearance that puts us under pressure. Basically I do not believe he has the man mangement skills that Dack had with the players I do not believe he has the respect of the players either.


As I say just my opinion and I could be completly wrong and I hope I am.

As I say mate im just saying how I see it. Hope I am proved wrong and he goes on to become a great assistant or even manager, time will tell. Well done though Wings great to see 3 points on the board roll on the Staines massive iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! 

Greavsie always used to say "it's a funny old game"  He was right.  How many times do you see teams have players sent off then play much better.  It was certainly the case tonight with St. Albans.
Overall though very encouraging.  Perkins had a terrific game winning nearly everything in the air, something that's been missing this season.
Does anyone know why there was no sign of Minton and Johnson tonight?
Looking forward to Saturday now.  Just hope there are no further injuries.  We do seem a bit jinxed at present - hopefully Sambrook's injury is not serious.

Yeah i saw that as well. The best thing was that Rob totally ignored him and got on with the game :) Rob played very well tonight and put in some great crosses.

Nice to see Welling fans giving the St Albans goalkeeper nice friendly goodbyes when he got sent off :D

 

We won, that's all that matters!

Above message was from me. Forgot to login.

Chris, I was indeed watching and until the last 25 when 9 tails got up St Albans were a much poorer side than I had expected based upon their last couple of results. In the last 25 they should have been at their weakest both physically and mentally, having already played with 10 men for about 35 minutes and having just had their keeper red carded leaving them with 8 outfield players. We should either have been able to protect the 3 goal lead by playing the ball around (where the midfield play an integral role) and making them chase it or bang in more goals - in my opinion we did neither

The positive I didn't mention was the return of Perkins. There is a lot he can teach some of our side and in my book is a good signing though he is likely to pick up a few cards.

Clarke's quality has been evident despite the fitness issue. He is getting fitter though still isn't fit enough to last the full 90 and in my opinion should have been subbed a good 15 or so minutes before he was. Expect more evidence of his quality once he is fully fit.

Its early days yet with sides still gelling and but on paper I am certainly expecting our next 2 opponents Staines and Braintree to provide a much sterner challenge than St Albans did last night but at least we can go into those games having broken the losing streak.

I don't think we can cope with the current amount of injuries. Unless we get at least 4 players back for Saturday I won't be holding out much hope.

The more I look at the amount of injuries we had last night the better the result seems.

Sambrook Andrews King
Johnson  Minton Cracknell Finn
Fazackerly Lawson

and then Sambrook went off with a knock.

That's NINE first teamers a doubt/out for Saturday and EIGHT who would have started if fit.  This is one hell of an injury crisis.

Hopefully King, Faz and RJ will be back any news on Finn?
