Always a pleasure to win against Maidenhead. Their constant whinging and time-wasting never seems to change, along with their style of football.

Not a good performance but battling to the end shows great spirit.

Great win again for Welling!

Looks like from the messages that they didnt play that well but championship winning sides can do that not play well but still get the result!

Sailsbury slipping up again! Happy day's for the Wings

 

I agree with Trigger, Big Ben would have been a good shout for Man of the Match he was immense again as he always is at the end of a season when you need the experience and desire, Cant argue with Jake getting it, he ran his nuts off as usual and scored the winner.

Quallity!!!

A post from the chelmsford board......'Welling with a winner in the last couple of minutes or so. That's what champions do!!! '

I hope they are right

Grinding out results-hoping we can stay up front and avoid the play offs. Half of the new stand nearly headed Kinchy's opportunity home early in the seconf half!

Quality performance form the lino on the new stand side in the second half, should be there every week

Will take tinpot until the end of the season if we remain at the top. Not so sure I can continue to take the 90+minute winnners!

Anyone have any idea who the gentleman was who ran the line? Good job he was there yesterday, otherwise it's unlikely the game would have finished.

 It believe it was a gentleman called Terry who is a qualified referee. He ran the line at Braintree a few years ago.

That's a tad unfair on Maidenhead - they've only been like that since Hypocrite's been in charge,

Which brings me to another point: why the hell does Dereck Brown associate himself such antics?

I'd question that, and offer up that we won because of an excellent work rate in 2nd half, and creating enough chances. I agree at Sutton with 5 central midfielders we were poor but that was because we didnt compete effort wise from the off and surrendered control and momentum, I think the fact we have changed systems and improved in a few games is down to us having to up the work rate rather than the change in system?

We did miss Healy, hopefully Cesc will do the business when Jamie picks him. Kiernan had been quiet for a couple of games then on Saturday he was looking electric and did the defensive work. If he plays like that with a bit of confidence we look a different team.

As I have said elsewhere they did play well first half but the goal changed them (for the worse) and they reverted to type with time wasting, feigning injury etc...etc...I think that when the referee got home he would have probably woken up in the morning with their number ten next to him?!

If they continued to play like they did in the first half then they might have had more joy but the time wasting rebounded on them in the end.

I agree with some that we had two many square pegs in round holes on Saturday - a centre half at right back and four central midfield players. I realise Daisy has to rotate and try and keep all the players involved but tactically he got it wrong at the weekend. However we still caused them problems, our set piece delivery was very good throughout and the character and determination from every one of them was top drawer YET AGAIN.

Not sure you can say tactically he got it wrong when we won the game. Faz is out injured, Cumbers is out injured, Connor is out injured, Main is out injured all could provide some width if desired. He could have played Kurtis and Kiernan in a 4-3-3 from the start but not sure how that would stop them passing and moving us off the park in midfield despite us having an extra man!!.

We can still pass and move and play with tempo with 4 central midfielders When you have Obo to link up and give you width. Franks did ok at right back, maybe Jamie wanted experience and not a youngster teams could pin back, pressure or double team.

Did you notice Weston target our full backs for much of the game? In the same way Dover did? Farnborough Manager even came out and said it in an interview, he told his team to pressure De'Reece.  Dont forget that playing 4 center midfielders  often you see Jake or another midfielder back clearing up. Clarkie also covers on the right and Jake on the left as well as their midfield duties. The Midfielders do a job in defence, midfield and attack.

Its not as simple as play wide men and give them beans chaps. I think we can play any system, id just like us to be positive and pass the ball as much as possible and let teams worry about us, rather than us tinker a system to play them, we are after all top of the league, let them worry about us. If they want to press us, no worries, get the ball in behind and turn them round to combat it.
