God if they are what we have to raise ourselves to im worried, yes strikers were good but how were they getting it up there, certainly wasn't on the ground...our.long balls although i don't like it are at least aimed in a direction, their's were just complete random hoofball and see where it lands! Anyone impressed by that utter ****e football is beyond me, 2nd half when we played football on the ground they were all over the place and ball ended up everywhere but the back of the net! __________________ For the many, not just the few.

Reading today's NLP interview with Nicky Law, the Alfreton manager, I find it amazing that their team trains just two nights a week and does not have a training facility. Despite the stick Nicky got yesterday, he seems not only a smashing bloke but also a damn good manager of a team set-up as modest as ours. That said, he must have a generous chairman to let him buy or loan players of the quality that Alfreton fielded on Saturday - what Jamie would give for some of those players who were a real handful. -- Edited by OMERTA elb on Sunday 26th of January 2014 11:32:44 AM __________________

I think they adapted to the conditions better than us and had some very strong players who just ploughed through the heavy pitch. You are right though, that when we played it on the floor and ran at them they were a mite worried - just a shame that the storm intervened when it did, otherwise I think we could have snatched a draw. __________________

For those asking why Cornick didn't start, I would think the sensible money would be on the fact he had never met any of his teammates before. Changed the game though and must be pushing for a start come next weekend. __________________ Thou shalt support Welling and Faz

People were going batty at the ref for only giving decisions one way. Funny enough they were saying the same at Aldershot when we played there and there was even a letter in the Non League Paper about the reffing display... the Ref for yesterday and the game at Aldershot...

Why would they need a training facility? All they need is a local gym to bulk up in and the rest of the time in their changing room have all the dirty tricks drilled into them. The amount of afters in the first half alone would have fed Africa for months; as soon as they went ahead it was the player furthest away who strolled across to take every set piece; and then there was the tag-teaming on the referee: first the 6, then the 5, then the 4 as they left the pitch at the interval.

Does anyone feel the Wings will get sucked into a relegation fight? I know there 12 points clear but noticed Tamworth and the mob down the road have started to pick up a few points! -- Edited by Medway Andy on Sunday 26th of January 2014 04:29:26 PM __________________ Yid and Wings!

It has always been about staying up and then doing everything possible to avoid 2nd season syndrome. Shall be delighted if we can stay in this league for a few years. __________________

I thought we got bullied at the weekend and sucked into playing their way a bit too much. Akinde is/was a handful (sometimes close to illegally) but you get away with what the officials let you. Once again we get a lesson in how to "play" the officials and once again we don't adapt. We would all love to see the beautiful game at PVR week after week but it ain't going to happen and we have to learn to be a lot more streetwise. Their 5 was probably the best player on the pitch purely because we kept lumping it forward and he got his head on everything. He was booked after 10 minutes yet we didn't isolate him once during the remaining 80+ minutes or get him out of his comfort zone at all - that is naive as well as poor. Having said that a draw would have been about right and, bar one poor challenge, we probably would have got one. __________________
