Does anyone expect any different? Goldberg has hired a "big name" to deflect from his bull****. Ive seen the car park document and it is laughable - Goldberg is a cancer on the club and he can hire all the fancy managers he wants but HE is still the problem...if he has invested all the money he claims he has then he is a f'ing loser. I suspect he is lying or (more likely) twisting the truth somehow but **** me - he is the non league Mike Ashley. He wants to turn the ground into flats to make himself a shed load of cash...at some point in the future it will be announced it has gone through and in the interim Welling will play in a swamp in erith. By the time the fans realise what has happened he will be gone and its park football forever...Goldberg is a fraud. He is playing the long game and knows he will make his money back ten fold

Strange game today, I still think that we were crazy to arrange a game today. Give Peter Taylor an extra weeks training session before the next game, rather than playing today.
First half we were competitive although the two shots we had were straight at the keeper. Second half with the keeper going off we did well to keep it at 3-0. Oxford missed 2 or 3 clear chances and we rarely had a chance.
Personally I think we need at least 5 players to make the team more competitive. But credit to Daniel Carr who worked hard and put himself about.
Lots for Peter Taylor to think about!

Its a weird thing but you cant blame the manager or playing staff today as we werent too bad first half then got unlucky with the keeper injury. Taylors first game so cant call him out on that. But playing a game today when it should have been Taylors chance to look at players is ludicrous. Bonkers.
The most important question is can you get Peter Taylor's autograph?!? You can tell all your friends and co-workers that the manager of a non league team is Peter Taylor!!!!

Harsh. The chairman said he has loaned the club over £120,000 and he is still running the club prudently. A big name manager, and plans for future revenues and ground development give hope of what's to come. When these come off it will be very easy to pay back any loans he grants.
One team is relegated this season, so there is no need to invest, and that's the sign of a sensible businessman.
Remember all this guy wants is to cash in on the club...he is spending now thinking once he gets planning application he is going to make shed loads
Property right by the park in Welling - say a block of 10 flats at 200k each...thats a lot of money. Remember that when he hands out his stupid car park leaflets
Sensible businessman?? What planet do you live on???
The blokes a chancer and thats the kindest word I have for it.
Hes at the club to make a few quid out of a potential property deal, he is not a Welling man, he is not a Welling supporter and he is not one of us. Hes an extremely egotistical bloke which is what fuelled his madcap and bonkers running of Crystal Palace where he made ridiculous decisions to try proving to people he had the clout to do this that and the other. The deal he offered Venables (just look it up) tells you everything you need to know about sensible businessman.
He came into the club and tried to have a little go initially, one go and when that failed we have been in decline ever since. Year on year we have got worse on and off the pitch, the ground is neglected and becoming an embarrassment to the extent that if something isnt done then that alone will get us relegated.
He manipulates a lot of people at our club, he harnesses the genuine love people have for our Welling and uses it to his full advantage, he has had supporters dipping into their own pockets and chucking money in to help run the club which is his own responsibility in entirety.
Work parties and free labour under the banner of allinittogether its a joke, get people in to undertake proper work, pay the bills, pay people in full for the work they do and stop taking the p155.
A hopeless squad, uncompetitive, unambitious and a disgrace to the shirt of the club Ive watched since a boy 30 years ago, this is the worst Welling side by a country mile, dont hide behind COVID as that has affected all clubs at this level, the budget is Kent League therefore we are seeing Kent League standard players who are totally out of their depthhas it come to this when the supporters accept the plan for this year is to just pray there is one more team in the division worse than us?????
Taylor isnt going to stick around for long, England manager making David Beckham captain 20 years ago to having to stick a centre half in goal yesterday!!???? Even all my Sunday sides had two keepers.
Its high time people faced up to whats going on here and stop making excuses.
If he manages to make his dough out of any property deal hell swan off into the sunset with all of his money back and a big chunk of change in profit whilst we will be left with a team of no hopers playing the Dog & Duck in another town of zero relevance.
The fella above had it absolutely spot on, MG is a cancer eating away at our club and until he leaves we are in terminal and critical decline, waving make believe figures about the size of investment and talking about car parks while we are propping up the rest of the league cuts no ice with me or any other pragmatic and clear thinking football supporter.£15k on that excuse of a car park anyway?????? Is that a wind up???
If youre happy with the way the clubs being run, if you are satisfied with being patronised, lied to, appeased and mugged off by a load of nonsense and bullsh1t visions for the future by an unethical and failing chairman (not for the first time) then you are easier pleased than I am, I look for actions, I look for results and logic rather than having smoke blown up my ass.
I have a lot of good friends down at PVR, people I love and respect but I urge you to stand up and kick back against his ownership and to get him out of our club ASAP, your blind love, your unquestionable and unconditional support is now not helping but hurting the club..I like many others will not step foot in PVR while he remains at the club so Ill see you at an away game somewhere awful 2 or 3-0 down in the cold and the rain.

Just for accuracy. Dylan Pepe came on yesterday when Tom Smith went off injured. He played on the left side of defence with Kristian Campbell going in goal and some re-organisation of the other outfield players.
There was a reserve goalkeeper at the ground (which I think was Cairo Richards) as well as Stefan Ilic and others. Cairo was however not one of the five nominated substitutes, so of course could not come on. Before that injury we were competitive, and 0-1 was a fair reflection at half time. The injury clearly disrupted us as Kristian will admit he isn't a goalkeeper, but credit to all the team that they were still playing at a high tempo at the end of the nine minutes injury time.
In that case its baffling to have a keeper/keepers travel but unavailable to come on if needed but on this occasion then we cant point at our esteemed leader.
Its just another chapter to write though in what had been a disastrous first few weeks to the current campaign and a sign of how desperate the straws we have to cling to have become when we are happy that we were competing whether it be at 01 at half time or crediting players for still trying in the 99th minute having been gubbed 3-0 and supposedly couldve been 5 or 6.
Its simply not good enough, its a sorry state of affairs.the minimum requisite is 100% effort and whatever the reasons and/or excuses at the end the fact of the matter is we got another proper beating when the final whistle went.
Is the logic then that any one of the five outfield players on the bench is likely to have more impact on the game than replacing your goalkeeper with a non specialist goalkeeper? Based on what I have seen this season, if that was the case, they would have been a shoo in for a starting spot, let alone the bench.
Hardly any teams in this league have a goalkeeper substitute on the bench and in other seasons we've seen Lee Clarke and Connor Dymond go in goal. Jamie Day once had a youth goalkeeper on the bench and when he came on he got bullied at every cross and let in three goals. Daisy never had a goalkeeper on the bench again after that.

So the point you are making is, yes they were believed to be more capable of a greater influence on the game. With the current standard of squad we have assembled, my point is that that is far less likely to be the case. Just because everyone else does it shouldn't be the decision criterion for if we do it.

The season we won the league he had Jamie Turner as a reserve for Sam Mott.

Was JT also goalkeeping coach? So was at the games anyway.
I don't think we have the luxury of a sub keeper that could come on and perform (if they were that good they wouldn't be on our bench!) not unless they were part of a much bigger squad and happy to get paid/try and get into the first eleven. If any subs were that greater influence, they wouldn't be subs - you would hope!!

If you read Peter Mason's post, we did have a reserve keeper at the ground. In this context, they don't have to be as good as the incumbent, just a better goalkeeper than any of the outfield players....
Apart from FA Cup games (when there are two extra subs allowed) we have rarely carried a second keeper in our match day 16. Some of the bigger clubs might so but I suspect many in the NLS will not name two keepers in their matchday 16.
On the Ben Allen business of course it should have been announced prior to Saturday. Was a nice lad and said nice things about the club and good luck to him in the future. He's gone now and sods law says that he would score on Saturday. He was very enthusiastic (too much at times) and was lucky to say on the field in the D******* game to be honest. I am not sure how good he is (or how big a miss he will be) as I would look enthusiastic playing in the same team as some of our current squad...
First half was reasonable from us on Saturday aside from the early goal (AGAIN) - we need to address that problem even if it means smashing the ball forward for the first 15-20 minutes of each game just to get it away from our goal and get ourselves fully into the game. The injury to the keeper changed the game although I am not sure that it changed it enough as I think Oxford would have won anyway and missed a few clear headers when our marking was simply non existent. The effort was there on Saturday but I just don't feel we have enough players than can cut it at NLS level at the moment although I would be delighted to be proved wrong....

I suppose it all comes down to the low chance of ever needing a sub keeper to come on. Last 10 years I think maybe weve had to do it a couple of times. Must be 80-1 odds
Having googled our keeper who was at the ground I'm not sure he would of made much difference to Kristian who has since the game put on twitter that he started out as a GK.
Luckily he's not a hard position to replace as always keepers knocking around not playing games at other clubs, someone with experience from a higher level would be nice.
