3-0, as mentioned above, these fringe players are nowhere near the required level.

Quite a few of the regulars playing as well don’t forget. Nothing riding on this of course but Welling have been terrible most of this season.

I am sure Mel knows this and that we are nowhere good enough at present.

Another away game I'm thankful I didn't bother with. I'll be there for the last home game on Sat but the end of the season can't come quick enough really can it?

Agreed. Looking forward to a relaxing May/June following some other pursuits in life and recharging the batteries. Think everyone needs it.Lord Elpus wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 10:03 pm Another away game I'm thankful I didn't bother with.

Be interested to hear what Mel thought about it. He has given fringe players an opportunity and it would seem they are not what we require if we are to mount any sort of successful campaign in 23/24.
Hopefully a busy summer of recruitment. Will be there on Saturday hoping for a better performance.

Absolutely this! I'll be looking forward to the start of next season when July rolls around but this season has really been a bit miserable at times. Some of the football was dire at times (until changes were made) and all the other distractions often made for a soured experience. Things, as they say, can only get better.

Mel's Twitter comments were indeed interesting. Noting that both teams made changes he said 'the lads they brought in were better than the one's I brought in'. On recruitment, he said he had 10 or 11 players who would form the basis of next season's squad but would look to bring 7-10 players in. He also commented on bringing in 3 or 4 young development players (a trial game had been held for 18-22 year olds) but I'm not sure if that was as well as the 7-10 or part of that.Shepperton Supporter wrote: Tue Apr 25, 2023 10:43 pm Be interested to hear what Mel thought about it.

I guess these development players could go out on loan to gain experience otherwise they are not going to get much game time.

Didn't Mel previously say he would be personally coaching penalty taking, and telling players which way to shoot!
