I thought after Farnborough away we were definitely relegated. After the excellent performance at home to Worthing last Saturday I travelled to Chesham United with hope only to see us revert to another poor performance.

I must say Chesham United was a nice ground with good facilities and their fans were very friendly and helpful to us. I enjoyed the day out except for the performance and result! Of course I mind that we will be relegated but I could accept better if we showed some fight and passion in every game and if we lose and go down fighting than at least we've done our best. I was very disappointed Rod Stringer jumped ship and resigned with 8 matches remaining. What happened to I won't let Welling United get relegated? Whatever happens it's not Brian Statham's fault, he has inherited a poison chalice and I think he is brave to take it on and I commend him in doing so.

Yesterday was two poor teams on the day but we were doing alright until Winfield had to go off, another reason I question the wisdom of releasing Anthony Grant, an experienced wise head like Dave Winfield, to demonstrate leadership to the young squad. 2nd half we crumbled. Di Trolio did well to get us level at 1-1. Went behind to a worldy but once Gene Kennedy let himself and the club down by getting himself sent off unnecessarily for dissent we were doomed. Max Statham really should have scored and Rhys Lovett's rush of blood cost us dear. I have said all season our lack of a striker that has cost us dear and was a worry. None have quite achieved what we need. The latest addition, his goal ratio isn't great. Really you need a 1 goal in 2 or worst ways 1 in 3 striker.

I hope we do win some silverware on Wednesday to soften the blow of relegation but more importantly I hope Welling United at least put in a decent battling performance. My school friend who is a Dartford supporter, I said to him after their relegation at least you have some new grounds to visit. The travelling will be more local and it will be less expensive to support your team, so that's the view I will be taking in the very likely event we are relegated.

Verdict: Disappointment
