If we are looking to strengthen at the back what happened to that defender we had from the academy Chris Davis. Isn't he on loan at Chatham - maybe getting him back would help

Positives, game time for Faz, Macca found a good opportunity, hes a player that when we get the wide men fit he will find good positions and he will score goals. Ben Greenhalgh clear to play now from Italy and looked lively, may get a start if our leftys are still out. Our effort after half time was clear for all to see, we never gave up and were a better team than the first half team. Poor goals to give away. Our midfield had an off day unusually.

Have to say the ref was so far out of his class its unreal, giving free kicks every time weston asked for one but not blowing for one when any incident took place. Gave them a pen and didnt give us one. I think the ball was in play for 20 minutes in the second half, Weston went down for treatment every chance they had and smashed it out the ground when clearing the ball. Thought Weston were average and a missed chance, but we started poorly and didnt deserve anything really.

Hopefully we will bounce back Tuesday. Thought Parky did well today but then stupidly got booked for dissent (his 10th) and will miss the chelmsford game.

We really miss Healy, Stella and Loick, might get away with one missing, possibly two but all 3 out weakened us a lot.

Interview with Daisy and some highlights tomorrow though shorter than usual as there was precious little to call highlights from either team.

I assume Oberstellar got injured v Truro (hence being substituted) so it's a little surprising that Jordan Johnson has been loaned out to Thamesmead. Had we had a left sided player playing on the left it may have left the team look slightly less disjointed.

reguarding the post on here about chris davis,i think he is at chatham as a signed player so not on loan from us. the lad who was at the academy charles dunn who we really should have signed , played left back/lleft midfeild was picked up by wycombe wanders and has just been given a 2year pro contract, i think at present on loan at staines town

Not bothered Shadow, instantly ignore anything you say given you are clearly anti-Welling. Anyhow, I dont listen to all the "ref was poor" type chat as I wasnt there to form my own opinion, and neither were you.

Parkinson should immediately be fined, and stripped of the captaincy. Im sick of it. 10 bookings of which I would guess 7-8 are for mouth. Unacceptable. It will be these bookings that cost us a play-off place, not injuries which cannot be helped. He isnt the only one either.

Mark, Obo was left out to look after a hamstring yesterday.

 Presumably the reason he has been a lot more 'in and out' this season than he was last year, and why he was taken off last week. All the more reason not to loan out the only left sided player not injured or suspended.

Although young and not the finished article at this level, surely he would have been a better option than playing someone clearly uncomfortable in that position.

Parky has been one of our best players this season and now Pughie has gone / is going, is probably one of the leading players for POTY along with Daisy and Loick. We need to do what other teams do and all get players surrounding the refs rather than letting JP do it and take the bullet for the team. His dissent isnt great but he has played well. Rather have someone play well for 35 matches and miss 2 or 3 through bookings, also if hes injured he plays through it and doesnt sit it out, you have to look at what he brings the team and also how he has put us first many times with injury and people trying to sign him.

Would never strip him of the captaincy, thats ludicrous imho and wouldnt put it past him scoring a goal or two vs havant.

I would fine a player more for dissent than I would for a foul or leaving the field of play to go to the toilet, but I would not strip him of the captaincy.
