A fine performance and a convincing win at Park View Road yesterday that has been coming for awhile now. Manager Warren Feeney has been given licence to bring in 18 new players and he has transformed the squad at the same time that the ground is finally receiving some love and attention. The new-look Wings have been finding their feet but yesterday's emphatic victory was four from five and they have moved up to sixth in the table.
The game was won on a tight defence which sat deep and worked hard. Oxford City have had a decent start themselves and would be sitting in third place this morning had they managed to nick three points themselves. The visitors hadn't conceded in 400 minutes but the burst here. Welling took the points courtesy of some fine counter-attacking football. Ex-Addick Ade Azeez did the damage in the first-half with a spirited hat-trick and Payne added a fourth to end the match as a contest before the break.
In the second-half, Welling played possession football and began to get more men forward. Payne added a fifth on 70 minutes with a fine header to put some gloss on the result after Oxford had been reduced to ten men. He had hit the bar as well in the first half, so there was a prospect of a double hat-trick before the whistle finally gave the visitors a break.
Welling go to old enemies Dartford next week in unusually confident mood.
Great game yesterday. Things on the up for the Wings both on and off the pitch with the result that the crowd is growing. Just shows what can be achieved with the right sort of owners.
