For the second time (at least ) this season we have an injured player with a sub nowhere near ready to come on. Down to ten men for 2-3 minutes after Lokko injured.

Having made the managers look like the three unwise monkeys in the last game he's probably been sent back to Orient.

If he had any sense he'd have rung Orient and asked to be recalled. Good luck Harry. One of the few to come out of this season with any credit.

Why get one man to do a job when three can mess it up.

So when two centre halves get injured first half and we only have Chambers left who plays that role we switch to three at the back at half time. Well done to the amigos for sorting that one out.

Clueless.

We were better in the second half but it's difficult not to have been. And I'd suggest it's in spite of the amigos not because of them.

KSA the hero waltzing back in for Carlisle, not even used today. You're undermining your own stupid argument Faz.

Tash first sub last week, not even on the bench today.

Make your mind up!! Like I have. Faz Out.

"I felt we were the better team"

The managers programme quotes regarding Macclesfield defeat.

Deluded. Probably the better side today then I guess.

if they dont go then we wont have any time left. Second half was better but worrying that we still pose no threat at goal-biggest mistake of the season not getting a goalscorer

We were lucky to get away with 2-1. Too many long balls into the channels and crosses and corners that were too easy for the keeper. It was all huff and puff with no finesse. It was about this time of year last season the Brown debacle started, but we had something like a 6 point cushion then.

Not looking good as we slip into the bottom 4 with very little fight from the team. There has been a lot said about the management and most of those comments still stand. I just wonder if the Board will take action, or if, in fact, they would be more comfortable in a lower league, because that is where we are heading now.

Mmm, well the board have a clearer picture of the clubs finances so I'll leave it up to them to decide whether to spend money on a new manager or a new striker. I believe today yet again shows we're more in need of the latter.

Dover should have had 5 or 6 before we scored our goal.

Every set piece hit the first man or went straight into the keepers hands unchallenged.

Chasing a goal and taking off a striker for a striker? How about a midfielder and going for it.

I have missed 3 games home and away in 5 years. But I won't be attending Monday. 1 win in 12 league games, 1 goal in 4 home games...today's team selection was better than previous weeks but does not change the last 2 games shambles.

 

The mood on the terraces and in general is awful. Please for the love of god change it now. Gamble. Southport, Halifax, Torquay, Boreham Wood all change their manager and pick up results, can we try and do the same?

yes but now we have better teams below us and we have got to be honest that the management have been very poor and they should put their own needs second to the club who are in danger of relegation. The worry is that we need to bring in players who can get us out of it and a manager who can likewise. The 3 amigos must accept that it over and give another the chance to save us. Lots of effort today but no direction and I cant see where chances or goals are coming from-if any of the happy with the management team who want to enlighten us to how we stay us please feel free if there are any of you left?

 You're a ****ing moron. In what situation would you ever grow a pair a sack someone? We need a striker yes, but our management team aren't even looking for one. They're almost as pathetic and deluded as you are.

Except it's our current managers who have spent all of the money available to them by putting everyone on contract. Their choice. What are you suggesting? Because they've left them in a position where the board can't afford to sack them, they shouldn't be sacked? Well done to them if so, tactical geniuses. If only they could display that tactical nouse on the pitch too.

Would you trust the management team who have put our "strikers" on contract to bring in another forward? I would rather take a chance that someone else would use that money more sensibly.

I hope a decision is made before Braintree as we dont look like not winning in any league game and manager's are meant to get the best out of their players-all we get at welling is the same hard luck interviews from the 3 of them. Yes the team selection was better but the lack of leadership on the pitch and off it was appalling. We dont use are wide men well and we have no threat at all in attack-what will the excuses be this time. We are playing Dover again soon and It would be suicide to go into that game with a management team that is so inept and out of ideas. Come on Hobbins do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry. We will keep training hard despite the fact we clearly don't work on set pieces.

There is no way you can justify the decision to keep them in a job. Enough is enough

 Well I would like to think we would be able to replace the management after all we did that with Brown after it was all going so wrong. At least Brown had some players who were of good quality but poorly led. We are poor in both departments and its not just the managers that need to go but some of the players. Any new manager coming in would surely have to move a few on. KSA should have gone at the end of the season. Its getting worrying now with no realistic chance of winning a game with what we have or under their delusional leadership. Surely its better to remove before Mondays  game and send a message out to the very patient Welling support that the board are competent because on 2 seasons of evidence you would have to say that they are incompetent as well for letting fantastic players go and not investing properly to stabilise our position in this league, their judgement is wanting after employing Brown and letting the situation drag on like it has.

I appeal to Loui and the others please step down now-think of the fans not yourselves!

As i said previously, I have missed 3 games in 5 years which is approx 250 games including cup games, friendlies etc.

I give up so much time doing things for this club as i've supported it for 25 years....but i'm getting so angry watching awful football with poor tactics, clueless selections and a group of people so stubborn that they won't change things. I'm not the only one, please change it now.

Well you could see with their decisions over the summer that it wasnt going to be a success. Letting Healy go and what was the excuse some rubbish about training, putting all these players on contract, not getting a goalie, where is the striker? If they really want the club to be in The South then the board are not the right people to lead the club. Surely a club in the area its in and still in the National would get some outside investment or new owners if they arent up to it! the fans have saved this club before and they seem to forget that!

Sadly money doesn't grow on trees.

IF we have the money to bring in both more experienced management and to boost the squad then great.

Sadly most if not all of the TV and FA Cup money went towards plugging a supposed £30k gap in the budget caused by lower attendances not helped by a rigged fixture list with hardly any Saturday home games in the first half of the season.

Hopefully the board will have a look in the kitty and do something sooner rather than later. In the meantime let's just keep supporting the lads.

I've asked you 3 times in the past few weeks about how you know so much about budgets and how much you think it would cost the management team. Again, you are clueless.

 If you read the posts properly you'll see that what I've actually said is that other than the board, nobody knows the state of the clubs finances. That is unless you would care to enlighten us. It would seem even with WUSA having a seat on the board, there has been no comment from them. £30k gap in the budget was from Barry's notes in the Southport programme.

So as much as I and everyone else want better management and players, nobody seems to be willing to accept the prospect that we MAY not even have the money to obtain that.

As WUSA supposedly have a seat on the board shouldn't a WUSA EGM/meeting be held ASAP with members views presented to the board in the hope of getting some sign of life from the board or maybe even an actual response on the matter.

We've tried to hold 2 meetings in the last 2 months. One of them was after a home game on a Saturday and less than 15 people turned up. I would love to hold a meeting as long as we can get enough to join us

Yes there was a 30k shortfall, but that was due to the lack of home games in September through November. The cup run gave us a lot of extra cash and the 7 home games in Jan and February should mean that overall we are back to normal, if not in profit.

From the numbers thrown around on the forum during the FA Cup run, the accumulalive prize money raised wouldn't be much higher than £30k unless someone is willing to correct me with an exact figure.

Is anyone surprised by the low attendance of WUSA meetings when there is very little interaction with the board, or if there is we're not told.

Also the seemingly increasing number of Victor Meldrews who only seem to want to spread negativity via this forum and WUSA meetings may be a deterrent....

It's not just performances and extortionate ticket prices/poor financing that have led to lower attendances. The negative supporters and atmosphere are equally to blame as well.
