2018-19 National League South

[#Beebot]

I'm sure Met Police were denied entry to the playoffs a few years back because they were a not-for-profit society rather than a limited company? Have they changed their structure now or have the rules changed?

 

[Aberstone]

Must have changed.

Last night was what supporting Wealdstone was all about - so many emotions going on but I need to see video footage of the 2rd and 3rd goals, the latter in particular sparked a rush in the away end that you often see in South America.

4 players injured last night, 3 of which were in the midfield so christ knows how we set out our stall on Sunday. Fully expecting to get pasted but I hope the players just give their all.

Edit: Glad to read Northy's injury isn't as bad as first feared, it looked awful at the ground last night.

 

[Raymondo316]

So one out of Tonbridge, Merstham, Met Police or Poole will be joining us next season.

 

[Pink Panther]

Come on the Dolphins!!

Frankly, come on anyone else. Even Tonbridge.

My preference as overall winner now would be Poole (new ground, although I went to the old one for a Trophy tie in 1982/3) followed by Merstham (local and easy to travel to) whose XI last night featured 8 ex-Hamlet players.

They sneaked into the Isthmian Premier play-offs in 2015 when Enfield Town were deducted points and lost the semi-final at Hendon. That's the only previous time they finished in the top 5 at Step 3.

South games on too
Both 2-2 after Welling & Wealdstone both being 2-0 up

 

[doveranddover]

and Woking win the 93rd minute

 

[Super_horns]

and Woking win the 93rd minute

Well done Woking but what a sicker for the Stones!

 

[doveranddover]

and Welling with a 95th min penalty

 

[#Beebot]

Went to Woking v Wealdstone. Woking were dreadful for 60 minutes, then got a goal back as Wealdstone held back from attacking. Wealdstone then completely collapsed defensively. Woking really weren't great, and I'd have Welling as favourites for the final as Woking haven't been in good form for a while now.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Just seen that that total toss-piece Steve King is Welling manager. Come on you Cards!

 

[Lew]

Can't wait for him to be appointed our manager when Woking win it

 

[Pinner Stones]

We were exhausted and down to the bare bones, with probably the best keeper in the division, Jon North, unavailable due to the injury in the last round. Once they scored, the result was inevitable as our legs gave up.

This.

I thought we may get away with it when Ben Gerring hit the crossbar midway through the second half but when that first goal went in, our legs went, in fact had it gone to extra time then I think Woking would have bagged another 2 or 3. By the end we were essentially down to 10 men as Simon Mensah was visibly crocked. What an effort from the team today however, I couldn't be prouder of the effort.

Over to the board now to see if they can give BW a competitive budget for next season.

 

[DontBringBertie]

Absolute SCENES when the winner went in.

I think most of us had given up after 70 minutes being 2-0 down and playing terribly. Always going to have a chance from set pieces with Diarra (6’5) Cook (6’5) and Gerring (6’4). Just a shame we can’t defend them.

Have to play better to beat Welling on Sunday. We’ve already beaten them twice at home this season.

Oh and there was definitely more than “2,900” there.

Woking v Welling - the battle of the ex-Barrow Frenchmen;- Moussa Diarra v Thierry Audel

 

[#Beebot]

Met Police one game away now...

 

[DontBringBertie]

Woking v Welling - the battle of the ex-Barrow Frenchmen;- Moussa Diarra v Thierry Audel

Battle of the Frenchmen that always score against Woking.

Did Diarra get many goals for you?

 

[#Beebot]

Tonbridge 2-0 Merstham

Met Police v Tonbridge on Saturday

Met Police v Tonbridge on Saturday

Its a shame both teams can't lose.

 

[DarkSithLord]

I see Sammy Moore has been unveiled as the new Hemel Hempstead manager

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Battle of the Frenchmen that always score against Woking.

Did Diarra get many goals for you?

Nah - he came to us having scored about 15 for Hemel the season before, so we thought he'd be lethal. Scored about 3 for us (I imagine), and missed a million free headers.

 

[Seventyseven]

Getting worried?

He missed about a million free headers in his first 5/6 games for us but has scored 2 in his last 3. Was always going to score eventually when his legs reach the opposition defenders’ chest.

 

[jacobncfc]

Getting into the spirit of things, where can we get a decent away allocation and is best for a drink out of these two? They have my full support.

Was gutted that Wealdstone lost, went there a few times while I was at uni down in London and always struck me as a very sound bunch.

Scratch that, all Welling if Thierry Audel is there. Lovely bloke.

Welling is a small ground but at least you’ll get a whole side with a stand in it. Woking just give you an uncovered side terrace that is 8 steps high.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Welling are also famous for this

 

[Raymondo316]

Getting worried?

We never seem to beat you lot in the league and whenever we play it seems to attract some right twats from both sides.

Although you do get the end of their ludicrously oversized stand behind the goal.

Oversized? It was full on Sunday!
