Wings well on top first half hour went 2-0 up, Stadhart headed home from a keeping error, and Kedwell raced through picked up a ball and fired home. Woking got one back on 32. Wings doing ok soaking up any pressure and counter attacking well. Pinnock playing well apparantly.

I think Russ' report will be a bit venemous. It seemed the ref and woking played to different rules, We did however have chances to be 3-1 up. Well Played Wings!!

Adie just said he was gutted, we were on top and even though they came back he felt we were coping, he said he didnt want to say too much about the referee but said he had a shocker from first to last. He said he couldnt fault the boys for commitment but wished they had of defended properly for the 3 goals. He felt we at least deserved a replay. And said its a tough game on Tuesday but we have to win games and push up into the play offs.

Well, as will be discussed time and time again, the ref was appauling, bottling two red cards. How a ref can lose control so much that he shows somewhere in the region of 10 yellows I don't know.
Well done to Welling who battled well. Let's hope we can get behind the team like we did today and help them into the playoffs. Looking at the position tonight, we're in a good position with games in hand and not many points to catch up.
Come on lads and ladies, get behind your Wings and help them to help you!!!
Of course, this has to be read whilst bearing in mind that I am extraordinarily biased but, having seen the excellent highlights on the official site, it reaffirms what we thought at the game.
Firstly, how the hell did Selley stay on the pitch? The challenge on Bod was a leg breaker, and the referee clearly bottled it. Secondly, He seemed more interested in testing the sound of his whistle, and checking that he had forgotten to take a red card onto the pitch with him by booking everyone. The penalty is clearly outside the box and the ref is a few yards away! Adie obviously can't say he had a shocker, but we should all get stuck into refs if they are that poor. He was definitely worse than the idiot who did the game at Thurrock.
Thirdly, the pitch was awful, they'd put half a beach on it. I expected to see a couple of germans with beach towels sunning themselves on the halfway line.
Fourthly, I hope no-one encountered the Woking thugs stood in front of us in the second half who were openly looking for trouble. After calling one of my mates a 't*at' in front of his eight year old, they moved down towards our boys stood behind the goal.
Fifthly, what a fantastic performance from the lads, particularly first half. We thought Turner, Ashby, Day and Kedwell really looked the part. A great spine to the team for the others to play around. It must be self belief that has contributed to the poor league run, particularly in front of goal. Even though we conceded 3 today, I strongly believe our defence is excellent and it is only our finishing (especially Che) that is worthy of outright criticism.
So come on boys, we are good enough to beat any side in the league, lets get a good run going, starting from the Bognor game.
Probably the best performance against a team from a higher division since the Swansea game. Also the best away game as a match for a long time (probably since the 4-4 at Merthyr).
Didn't feel we deserved to win but certainly warranted another go at it. If we play like that for the rest of the season there should be no doubt over the play offs... but then again this is Welling!
Only one thing to say on the referee, how he can book El-Salahi for the foul on Bodkin and not book Selley for his second contretemps in the first half can only come down to the fact that the former was a cheap booking to give and the latter was potentially game shaping. Sorry mate, not fooled by that sort of attempt to avert criticism and I hope the assessor noted the hypocrisy too....
