Can someone help me - how many of this starting XI played for Welling last year? Cheers

I dont know a few of those but the players i do know suggests that side should beat Sheppey fairly comfortably if they can stay in the game after the initial onslaught. Sheppey have lost their best player but do have Jack Midson who was assistant manager when Kojo was at Concord and released.

Cheers - I'd got 4 out of the 5 then !

2-0...over for another season I guess....this was a real chance to progress..lots of work to do

Embarrassing. Played of the park. Long, long season ahead.

My word - surely a result as embarrassing as any in the club's history!

  Getting smashed by Leyton Wingate or whatever they were called then was bad but losing to a step 5 club in the FA cup is probably a bit of a disgrace. Losing to Clevedon (a disgusting performance) and Whyleafe in the FA Cup weren't great.

Haringey was bad but they would school Sheppey. We hit the post twice early on, would have been interesting to see what happened if one of those when in. Players need to bounce back next game and put on a bit of a performance to show this was a one off. Huge advantage for Sheppey today with no away fans allowed and those we could sneak in unable to support or they would be arrested.

Sounds like we didn't even give those that did sneak in much to shout about ! 

Thank you for update. It will be nice to go

to a game instead of reading about it.  Hope that is soon.

Take care...

You don't have to be a paid scout to have heard that Sheppey are a side on the up and banana skin, that's proved very slippery.
Have to lick our wounds, it's done. Good luck to them in the next round.

There is one positive though: No "bad day at the office, fans were magnificant #wegoagain" type tweets!!!!!!

A side on the up maybe, and a banana skin definitely.......but one would hope you'd at least be competitive. Sounds like they missed chance after chance, and that 4 or 5 wouldn't have flattered them. Embarrassing to be so badly prepared despite the circumstances, which most definitely impact every team in the pyramid

 

As you say it's done now, but with this competition being the only realistic way of earning cash outside of funding/commercial for some time, you'd have thought we'd have given it a real go

A squad of Ryman North/South players who ain't played competitive football for 6months against a side who probably have more experience and win every week. Wasn't going to end well was it. Wonder where all these trialists are that were so good a month ago.

And how have they managed to keep a squad of players that have that experience and win every week when a team at our level are ****ing about with 'never will be's' ?

I hope the Wings fans travel home safely and those clowns at Welling Police enjoyed their taxpayer funded day out.

No doubt they'll boost their funding further by fining chip shops for serving customers at 10.01 pm  !

 By having a bigger fan base and someone who knows how to run a club for the last 12 months! 

They've even got under soil heating etc. Ridiculous really but they aint like a billericay throwing money about, they are just a well run community club, i said we'd get beat the day of the draw.

Hard to argue with the point about the running of the club - can't believe they are generating much more money than us though......but like you say, it's how you run the club and what you do with your money 

I only followed the game on Twitter. Sorry to say Dan Wilks was mentioned about 20 times. He made save after save. Their keeper had his pipe a slippers out. Brad Quinton will sort it out I really believe that. He almost certainly needs more funds. So if you havent already go to the Go fund me link and donate £25 now. And if you have already donated why not donate again. There will be quite a few clubs in our league who will be in the same boat at the moment. Lets try and gain a small advantage on them by raising as much money as possible for BQs budget.

You can cut this anyway you want. Home advantage, more games than us before today, well organised club etc

The fact is we were piss poor thats putting it mildly. Brad did his conkers at the final whistle it seems and rightly so. The fact remains that despite crowd funding boost the budget etc losing today effectively means that whatever has been raised so far frankly has been dented beyond belief as to what victory would have made and progress through a couple of more rounds

Something needs to happen on Tuesday to make amends. It isnt this early in the season you can say we can concentrate on the league. In Brad we trust

I'd like to know why we are at any more of a disadvantage compared to the vast majority of teams at our level who for the most part seemed able to get themselves through against lower ranked opposition. We can appeal to fans to raise more money, blame the lack of budget etc.....but every single team in our league finds themselves in this position

 We are in deep trouble if the secretary has told the league our budget and thats what the league will pay us from the government. Those that saw what was happening and gave themselves a  couple of grand on top will be laughing. Those that never are up the creek and battling relegation.

Brad isn't a mug and will quickly realize who isnt good enough or if anyone is taking the piss.
