I was at the game yesterday,first game in sometime and it was very disappointing. The goal was a very poor goal to concede and we never really looked like scoring. Whist i am not advocate to sack the manager something needs to change. Such a good promosing start to the season has faded into a struggle. Things are never that easy at Welling but at least we still have a football club.

Steve King would be my choice of replacement but we should advertise it, interview candidates properly and get the right man in.

 I for one would love your suggestion we get the "King" back Chris, but no chance, that opportunity/dream is lost thanks to MG. Kingy is busy at Gloucester after a dodgy mid-season, successfully progressing in the North division. This from the Gloucester supporters forum today after their 0-3 win at Scarborough yesterday -

Alex (Chairman) made the plans when it looked like we weren't going to make the play-offs, then King held firm and started winning games so Alex doesn't really have a choice. He would have seen the outcry on here about his statement given how close we are to the play-offs. No doubt if we get there Alex will try taking the credit!

Anyway superb result and we are dragging more teams towards us which is handy because Alfreton have games in hand behind us. King continues to do a fantastic job and it is no surprise that he is either. Best manager we have ever had.

Looking at the March fixtures, lots of the teams below us have matches against each other, which is good news for us as they can't both get 3 points, so some points will be dropped by one or both teams, so that helps us. And we have Weymouth, Chippenham and Taunton in March, all below us.


 Tell me JH, what makes you think we will score goals and gain points against the teams below us when yesterday we couldn't even hold the very bottom team at home? Doomed, we are doomed, unless the ownership step up and take action.

I wasn't surprised Payne was getting stick and also giving it back. I really hate to see our fans getting on our players backs but the frustration is boiling over (myself included yesterday) and Payne has a lot to answer for after his numerous yellows and reds. He didn't get one yesterday, surprisingly, but he needs to respond in the right way - on the pitch. I would still play George in a strikers/poachers role as he looks like the only one with goals in him at the moment, although I'm sure he's thought as too young, too lightweight.

Another miserable afternoon at PVR.

First half showed some promise but once again the final ball/finish was lacking. Concord were possibly the worst team I have seen at PVR this season apart from ourselves of course. At half time I was confident of three points but the first five minutes of the second half put paid to that. Maloney was not having his best game but why you would take off your set piece man when a goal and a man down is beyond me...?? Azeez could barely walk on Tuesday night but is back in the starting XI - was he actually 100% fit for this game..?? And then we have a player more interested in "engaging" with the referee and his own supporters than sticking the ball in the back of the net...a feat, incidentally, he last achieved back on the 6th of December 2022...

And then of course the discipline question (or rather lack of it) raises it's ugly head AGAIN. That is now, by my reckoning, 10 red cards in 36 league matches spread between 8 different players which I reckon could well be a record. That basically equates to 1 red card every 3.5 games and not forgetting that the manager has picked up at least a couple himself.  Dress that up how you want...that record is an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment to the whole football club and God knows how much the fine will be at the end of the season.

I am now seriously concerned about our survival chances. We are 6 points clear of the relegation zone and, by the time we kick off at Weymouth on Saturday, that gap could well be smaller. We can't score a goal, we can't keep eleven players on the pitch and clearly there is an agenda where some players start week after week regardless whilst others don't get a look in....

Crowds will continue to slide which means revenue will drop. And if you are an existing or potential sponsor are you going to stick your hand in your pocket going forwards.

The results on a Saturday afternoon and Tuesday evening are the beginning of everything at a football club ( or at least they should be ) but, sadly, it doesn't feel like that at PVR just now...

So I had an interesting talk with Warren before the match, as I wanted to talk with him face to face, as I have no time for his nonsense of passing on silly messages through someone else who shouldn't even be dragged into something that is nothing to do with them, and it is silly me talking to the board by e mail when it is just as easy talking directly with him. He knows who I am, and what I think of him, and his role as manager, so it was, shall we say, an interesting discussion, which just reinforced everything I think about him. It was very sad, as he is his own worse enemy, and can't see the woods for the trees, so thinks someone is trying to kill him, when in fact he is killing himself with his toxic approach to everything, and doesn't recognise a friend from an enemy, who is trying to give constructive advice to fix the things he repeatedly can't see. Oh well, one reaps what one sows, slag off the players, slag off the fans, sit back in games and hardly have any attacking players, really, seriously, how will all that end? The sort of things I have tried to warn him about, because, as I said to him, I want him and the team to do well. To be fair, he has kept us up last season, and HOPEFULLY has job done of keeping us up this season, and then a thank you for keeping us up, and then onto a new manager.

 

@Johnny - always find your posts interesting and informative. But I feel obliged to say that I also spoke with Warren on Saturday (albeit briefly) and found him decent and approachable. That doesn't mean much on its own but felt I needed to say so in the interests of balance.
