It was a great finish by Main today but his performance on Saturday can n't just be excused as 'lacking match fitness' -even if he is. Nothing can excuse not getting stuck into 50/50 challenges. If it did we'd probably still have Tony Finn! 

Just watched the highlights and that second penalty decision was awful and to be fair justice was done when we missed it

Main was awful on Saturday but fair play to him as that was a decent goal although as is said above he needs to do that week in week out and put himself about a bit more

defensively we just look all over the place again - that second goal was needlessly conceded - fair enough Jack slipped as that happens but Acheampong was muscled out of it in the middle so missed clearing the cross and then a runner came in unchallenged to score with Franks and Healy (looks like them but correct me if I'm wrong as it's hard to tell) arriving late and having to pick the ball out of the net - all of our goals conceded so far have been avoidable and/or as a result of mistakes and we need to sort that out first in my books

I think we need to cut the whole squad, management and, in particular, the new players a bit of slack here. We have been spoilt with some great results and performances at PVR over the last two seasons and I felt people were far to quick to criticise yesterday. The game at Tonbridge was dire but we could have squeezed three points out of it but for a ridiculous refereeing decision. We were outplayed in the first half yesterday but showed some balls to come back and nearly get another three points. Still unbeaten despite a number of injuries and new players bedding in.

I have spoken (briefly) during pre season to both KHM and Main and I know they are both very keen to do well at Welling but it will take time. The latter has suffered some serious injuries in recent seasons and is clearly feeling his way back in. I agree his performance at Tonbridge was weak but I think he responded well yesterday when he came on and it was very clear how much that goal meant to him and his teammates. Players performances will be up and down over the season but we need to stick with them. My main concern (pun intended) is can he play in a three pronged attack as the central striker? I am not convinced and that would mean a radical change to the formation from the last two seasons. However I am sure Daisy knows what he is doing and we all should trust his judgement.

Keep with the players and I am sure this season can still be successful.

Jamie and his team make the decisions and I dont think I have seen as much criticism since he arrived here. He will learn if he has made a mistake and make amends.

Very true in that we are making some swift comments and judgements here-its very early days

In Jamie we trust

 I still have complete faith in him but just a few things to iron out at the moment

After seeing the video, I stand corrected (said the man in the orthopaedic shoes), it weren't a penalty! Not surprised given how poor that referee was.

 Same for me; from my view at the other end of the pitch, it looked like the keeper fouled him, but the video clearly shows not!  Justice was certainly done when the penalty was saved.  Ah well, I'm sure we'll get a few dodgy ones given against us over the course of the season.
