Oh, I think you may be correct there. I will have to amend my records. 

Thank you

Biggest since the play off final at Dartford imo. Even though there were big matches towards the end of the promotion season, we always had a handy lead at the top of the table.

We're now 4 points from safety despite being 10 points clear when Brown took over (cheers mate). I think we really have to get at least a point today

COME ON WINGS WE ALL BEHIND U

0-1

Well that made a lot of difference, didn't it?

Another bland home performance against poor opposition, and one man short again through the Captain's pointless indiscipline.

At least Jody got one point....

Well done Jody's Dad/Brother/Relation, I bet you had that comment typed up before the final whistle even blew. Bitterness and delusion is obviously a family trait.

He got one point in 9 games, against sides in the bottom half of the division. He can surround himself with his Twitter chums all he likes, likening him to Brian Clough etc  The next few years will determine how well this "educated football man" does, but I won't hold my breath and wait for him to appear in the upper echelons of the game. He can wear his "Student of The Game" mortarboard all he likes, but a complete lack of ability as a man manager will be his undoing, as will his inability to bite his tongue both on and offline. 

 

I didn't think the players could be faulted for effort today though until the last few minutes we seemed to drop back a little too deep once down to ten men.  Once we pressed forward near the end we had chances.

It's a mystery why our most experienced players keep having these moments of madness to leave us with ten.  Joe faces a lengthy ban now.  Whoever the manager is this trait still continues. Faz now needs to pull out every rabbit from the hat in the next three away games. I think we need seven points from them to have a fighting chance.  Can't see masses going to Gateshead but let's have a good number at Lincoln on Saturday.

 What a wanker to take such a cheap shot as to assume that I am in some way related the our recently-departed Manager to make an easy point....

Were you satisfied with what you saw today, if you actually went to the game sober? I wasn't; I thought it was piss poor.

Loth as I am to have to say it, I would bet a pound to a pinch of **** that we will be relegated.

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to see your surname is Brown and that your first post here is leaping to his defence. 

It is an easy argument, isn't it? Because it's factually accurate. 1 point out of a possible 27 is pathetic and to cap it off by alienating the fans and using up any currency you have left with them and the board, is embarrassing.

I hope you continue to have Sundays free as you'll be needing them to watch whoever Jody manages next.

Must be a troll surely? Sad life

Not a troll, he's actually been a Welling Fan for 20+ years. I agree with the above though, today's performance was 100x better than last week.

Anyone see the "Educated football man" in the non-league paper this morning? Seriously deluded.

Did not think we were that bad but sadly football is a confidence game and I feel it is something we are really lacking, but we move on to the next game and try and get a result

Apart from Joe's moment of madness and the final score-line, it was much improved performance compared to Nuneaton. If the lads keep improving, and the teams in the next few fixtures play us with complacency, then who knows.

It's not over till the fat lady sings.

COYWs!

Very disappointing that we didn't even get 1 point against a pretty average side. The sending off came just as we were beginning to look threatening. I thought Vose was really poor today, too many sideways runs and no end product. Sam Corne put in a great shift.

---

 Was you watching the same game as everyone else?! I thought Vose was our MOTM.

Pretty average performance,Young look good down wing....Healy and Vose well below par today....and WTF was the tannoy man on today!!!!!

 A large ****tail of drugs I think. 

In brief;

Clive Brown, I can see why people would jump to the conclusion they did.

The performance was a million times better than Nuneaton yes, but that was because Nuneaton was a million times worse than anything before it. Either way, it was better, but still not enough. Improved performances are needed and encouraged, but performances alone don't get points, results do.

We hardly look potent in front of goal, our best striker remains out on loan, and although Williams up top works hard and holds it up I'm not convinced he is a real striker that will bang us in the goals we need. Also, to play Rod Young from the start when even the manager that signed him binned him is questionable. He worked hard and showed moments, but nothing amazing. Vose is quality on the ball, but he can't be a world beater every game and he gets doubled up on a lot, especially when we are a man light.

As for the red card, didn't exactly clean the guy out properly, but tackle like that and there is a risk you will go. Ill discipline is the thing that will cost us most this season, more so than a manager that went mad. Healy is a real gentleman, as is Faz, and as proven by his f-word live on TV, ill discipline and mistakes can happen to anyone in the heat of the moment, but 10 red cards this season is criminal, and they aren't all bad luck. Having some of our best players out regularly, with a small part-time squad with a low budget compared to most in the league, means we're playing massively against the odds too many times. The regular captain will return for Lincoln away on the 14th, a full 42 days after his last performance, 6 weeks out! we cannot afford it to happen again.

Brown's results were poor, performances were too in the main, but the major problem is a lot of those games were against sides in the lower half. We now have several games, and away, to teams in the top half, and to expect Loui to perform a miracle is, well, just that.

I remain hopeful of course, but we need to put the ball in the net more often. We were much better at the back today mind.

COYWs.

No lack of effort but a lack of quality too often.

Don't know how anyone could suggest Vose was our man of the match. Held on to the ball too long and too often as did Joe before his dismissal.

Poor decision to go in like that and gave a very poor referee the chance to send him off once the Altrincham players surrounded him like a mob. When will this be treated the same as the games other scourge of diving?

Defensively we looked solid enough - good to see Chambers back.

Pleased to see Ben, Charlie and Malachi at the game - let's hope they are back sooner rather than later.

Good luck to Faza and all the boys on Tuesday

onwards and upwards!

One pretty significant positive. Four figure attendance: 1009

37% increase compared to the Chester home game.
Was it because of ticket reductions or did just being on telly have a bigger effect on bringing in the extra fans.

Either way it will give the board food for thought when they want to decide the ticket prices for next season.

Hopefully not I'm sure I read that they had given away 1000 adult tickets for today, you certainly wouldn't want to do that every game. It was noticeable, at least when I arrived, that the passes turnstile was far busier than the pay turnstiles. Still an excellent bit or marketing by the club and those who put the time in to assist with it. Hopefully at least some of them will come back again.  

I think that was pretty much our season encapsulated in ninety minutes.

Competitive without looking great. Well in the game until a moment of madness. Some baffling substitutions. Hang on but end up conceding a soft goal. Could have had a penalty in injury time but didn't get it.

Some good individual performances and some bang average ones as well. The two young centre backs looked shaky to start with but improved as the game went on and were a big improvement on Purse. Both full backs pretty good as usual. Corne showed that he should have been in the team all along and Healy was playing well until his brain freeze.

The three in front of them need to learn when to pass the ball and when to make their runs. Vose caught in possession far too often and needs to release the ball quicker. I was amazed to see Young in the starting XI and bar one shot in the first half he offered nothing. Needs to time his runs better and try and go round people and not through them (a la KHM) Harris was the best of the attackers yesterday and looked a threat but again needs to appreciate what is going on around him. Felt sorry for Williams who become more and more isolated as the game went on and was feeding off scraps - got one decent pass all game in the first few minutes and he forced a good save.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I think we could and should have held on for a draw after going a man down. Fagan should have been straight on in midfield with one of Young or Vose sacrificed. Williams would have at least kept their back four on their toes which KSA was never likely to do. A 0-0 draw would not have been great but would have stopped the run of defeats and put us three behind Alfreton and Southport and with a better goal difference.

It looks very tough now with three hard way games in the next two weeks and another suspension. Lest we forget that Healy is on 9 yellows so after this three game ban he will be one card away from a further two game ban effectively missing half of our remaining games. Gallagher is back for Lincoln but I think has 8 yellows so a further two game ban looming there as well. Both players who should know better.

Best of luck to Faz and his team - if he can get his forward players playing more as a unit we can still be competitive and hopefully get a bit of long overdue luck along the way.
