It could have been 6-1 at half-time but for a combination of great saves from MOTM Beaney and woeful finishing by Hemel. They carved us open like a pumpkin on Halloween, but with less candy and more screaming. We were crap ...and it was cold and wet too. I take no pleasure in what I'm about to post,...

Park Life enjoyed it more than I did.

Dowse sent off

We were absolutely awful first half but somehow are still in it. Got to be better this half.

Cripes, it's quiet on here. I thought I'd logged on to Welling's forum for a minute.
Hope I'm not the only one there tomorrow.

6/10 performance. It wasn't a disaster and we were the better side, but we didn't capitalise on that and we didn't win, so for me it has to be regarded as an opportunity missed. There are signs of improvement, Barzey's goal was top notch, but we had a 20 minute spell in the second half, where we see...

Okay, we haven't set the world on fire or anything yet, but we are showing signs of significant improvement. I have a strange feeling inside me and if memory serves, it's called optimism. Looking forward to this game. COYD

I thought that was a comfortable and well deserved win. All credit to Joash for the goals but my MOTM was Harvey whose work rate was reminiscent of Duracell Danny.

I'm assuming Tom Bonner will not be playing, and I am not concerned even if he does magically appear on their teamsheet. Personally, it would be handclapping from me if he did, in recognition of his service to the club. You're right of course Pete. He's been a rock for us over the years and I think...

Havant's decision to use Bonzo's picture on their "Next Up" tweet below, is really quite pathetic. It is clearly intended as a wind up although my first reaction was to laugh. Great a player as Tom was for us, none of the Darts fans I know wanted him back on a "play when you can"...

That's good, hopefully they'll play him as a striker where he belongs, rather than on the wing. The lad definitely has a knack for scoring. The experience will surely serve him well.

Well it might have been a good game for a neutral, but I'm not now and never going to be neutral. In the first half we had a lot of possession and territory, but were far too timid for my liking and created very little going forward. We posed no real threat to their keeper and then gave away two stu...

Maybe that's a case of not being able to make it due to a subsequent engagement.

Seriously though, the more I think about it, the less of a big deal it seems.

I've just watched back Max Statham's sending off and it is utterly ridiculous.

Tom is entitled to go wherever he likes and if he's getting a big pay day down there (as Dowse's interview implied) then good luck to him. Tom was great for us and made a massive contribution over the years and that will never be forgotten. That said, I wouldn't have wanted him to stay on a "pl...

On the way down the mood in our car was far from optimistic. TBH a defeat seemed the most likely outcome although we did hold on to a glimmer of hope for an ugly win like the one at Aveley. What we did not expect was a great performance, an exciting game a win and 4 goals. This was our best performa...

Some clubs never learn. The more you keep pushing that agenda Dean, the more people will push back with the obvious fact that he got results and the football was better. That is what matters most to 95% of people in the ground. I understand why the club made the decision but it's done and dusted no...

Dowse, you can't sign Alex Wall, Luke Allen and Charlie Sheringham and then say “I just want a chance to get everyone fit.”

It's like signing Douglas Bader and then complaining that his leg injuries are taking too long to recover.

Good prospect and player in my eyes. Such a shame Dowse fell out with him. Good luck for the future Marvin Herschel That's an incorrect assumption Rambo. Dowse (and the club) tried very hard to keep Marvin in the fold, but there are certain expectations that go with playing for a club at this level...

Tommy Huckstepp. Here he is, closing in on the ball ... https://scontent-lhr8-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/157264087_2791518994432832_5731854848586151712_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=Psplhkbn2KIAX_rBuV6&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr8-1.xx&oh=00_AfBjVeDWubJvNrmctPo6WuvX0bE...
