Bloody hell, Alan has put pressure on the Hemel match on Saturday, if we lose I predict Alan will storm into the press box, grab Nigel's microphone, and start singing over the PA, "We want Feeney back, we said we want Feeney back!"

Far from it. Everyone is missing my point here.

I want Danny Bloor to stay as manager for at least 18 months, hopefully longer. He is our current manager in charge of our current squad and I will be backing him, the players and the board 100%. I support Welling United I want to see them do well, succeed, have stability and grow as a football club. That takes time. I have always said you can't change the manager every season and start from scratch.

Whatever managers we've had in the past, whether you liked or disliked them, is irrelevant. It's history, it's now that counts.

I don't think pre-season should be discounted because that is the time to gell the squad in preparation for the season proper. Winning is a habit and builds confidence and a winning mentality. I don't think there really is such a thing as a 'friendly'. I do understand it's the proper competitive games that really count but I don't think it should be taken lightly.

In a forum for fans I'm just expressing my concerns. There were basic errors made in team selection last Saturday, we were outplayed. Second half, yes, we improved but Truro took their foot off the gas. I accept Danny Bloor's management style may be laid back and he feels he has done his job during training in the week. It isn't a style I particularly like, but it is what we have. I prefer an Arteta or Klopp who wear their heart on their sleeve. Coaching constantly, behaving like a fan would. Demonstrating passion. Maybe, this new approach will work. I hope it does and we finally have a long term manager.

So, if we lose on Saturday or indeed every game until Christmas (I hope not) I won't be calling for a sacking because I don't want to keep scraping plans and starting all over again.

 If Alan does try to do that, he will be very confused. Nigel doesn't sit in the press box.

 Lol ,I might be tomorrow, I've been asked to possibly appear on BBC Radio Kent

 Sorry, Saturday

At the end of the day we lost our first game of the season by 3 goals against a much more settled team. It looks like some fans here don't yet see what a challenge the opening matches are, last Saturday Danny will have seen 13 of our players, but we have a squad of around 27, so there are 14 more players he has yet to see, so it will take months until our regular starting team is clear. I'd be surprised if we didnt lose or draw most of our early games, as many other teams have a big head start experience over us, but then we will catch up on them. A time for patience.

One of my favourite Welling vids last season was the one of their first training session. It was funny, as the players didnt know each other, so it was so subdued. And they were so unfit after a break. This new season feels different, hardly any break, so gelling, lots of hard work looking at tons of potential new signings, and we have fitness as a result. Most goals we conceded at Truro were just because we weren't sharp on the day, so not tackling or closing down quickly enough, but hopefully the team have realised that, and I predict a 2 - 0 or 2 - 1 win for us on Saturday. Anything can happen in football, we may even win 5 - 2! Then Alan can say he never doubted Danny for a minute!

 Hemel Hempstead IMO will be a better team than Truro. Cannot see us getting anything from this game. I hope I am wrong.

Morning folks, I am still concerned about raging Alan grabbing Nigel's microphone. I swear Alan always gets things the wrong way round, as he was Warren's loyal defender despite 5 wins in 5 months, and he criticises Danny's team selection, management style and says the team are embarrassing.

This is the same Alan who said "Whoever the new manager turns out to be I will support him as I know he will be trying to do his best for the club. I urge my fellow fans to do the same. If things don't go right from the start let's give him time. Stand behind him and support him." I am sure Danny values Alan's patience and loyal support!

Riverstown and me are head to head in battle of the Welling pundits, it will be dreadful if Hemel win tomorrow, as we'll have lost the match, and Riverstown will have finally got something right in his disagreements with me! Come on you Wings! Don't let Riverstown be right! And don't let raging Alan go mad!
