Looks like Welling have a new manager, Peter Taylor (ex Hull City and Dag. and Red.). Interesting!

All assuming Welling can get enough fuel to transport them to Oxford. I see Banbury's and Wantage's games have already fallen victim to the unnecessary fuel issues.

Three goals and three points for the Hoops: well done City. Wishing their keeper a speedy recovery.
(P.S. No giant-killing for Frome Town today in the FA Cup at Twerton Park: Bath City the derby won 5-0.)

Up to 4th in the table: it would have been 3rd but Concord scraped a late winner vs Tonbridge

Good to return to winning ways after the disappointments of the past fortnight. It was a comfortable win from a strong City side who might have had more goals; the match report didn't mention Joe Iaciofano's one-on-one just before half time when a shot either side of the keeper would probably have sent us into the break two ahead, and Nana Owusu's stunning second half volley which was headed over the bar by a defender. To be honest, City should have scored more goals in that half even without that, as they had a string of corners, multiple blocked shots, many crosses cut out, several near misses and one good save from the makeshift keeper, who later dropped Ashby's corner just before Benyon bundled it home.
Welling stifled us in the first half and had some decent passages of play, but Peter Taylor has his work cut out getting them away from the relegation zone. Our defenders kept them at bay quite easily and they were limited to long shots. Best wishes to the goalkeeper, who looked as if he had injured his shoulder or maybe collar bone when coming to punch out a cross and landing awkwardly.

A win is a win and thatโs the main thing, but the game as a whole matched the weather , Welling comfortably the worst side I have ever seen in the national league south, completely clueless. A proper cutting City performance wouldโve seen us 7 or 8 to the good, but like I say itโs the 3 points that matters. Would love to see a couple of pacey players in the squad as the injured Potter aside we are seriously lacking in a speed merchant.

We may not have anyone with serious sprint pace, but Nana Owusu and Jacob Bancroft are pretty quick: both had the beating of Welling defenders every time.
