Just watched Jack Wells giving his reaction to the performance tonight.
That was the game I saw tonight, a classic if you do not take your chances you will not be rewarded.
Overall a better organised team performance from which I give lots of credit.
Rocko is learning and was effective. Just the player I have been watching in games at Winslow improving with each game. With the coaching he is now getting with us he will improve even more.

From what I could understand after the game Wells has resigned. If so, huge shame for the club, young ambitious coach who did very well last season. Hopefully I’m wrong and gets opportunities to put it right.

Overall a better organised team performance from which I give lots of credit. Rocko is learning and was effective. Just the player I have been watching in games at Winslow improving with each game. With the coaching he is now getting with us he will improve even more. His interview is quite a good summing up. A curate's egg of a performance - v. good for 35 minutes ,but we didn't take our chances, with their keeper making 2 cracking saves.Clevedon then scored with their first meaningful attack and after that they upped their game ( defending manfully & diligently) whereas we went backwards and ran out of ideas and confidence .PS It was a very poor quality game overall, watched by another decent gate; they don't look like a very good tier 5 side, compared to say MK irish
Was disappointed not to see the new centre back Rowe; what happened to him? the new right back Ayo is a massive improvement, decent quality player, who knows what he's doing. Lads on the side said he did a great job schooling the excellent Rocco through the game. Little owen James summed up the performance, ran them ragged in the 1st half but saw v. little of the ball in the second 45.
The other Owen James , on the other hand...... well.lets put it this way; a great comment -' if he's in the Army then he's in the Catering Corps'!!! no aggression, no intent summed it up. Ty every time please To sum up - the team's performance was like the manager - marmite. Good in places and some positive signs , but we've played 5, won 1 , drawn 1 and lost 3 , with 3 of those games being against tier 5 sides.
From the sound of his interview he's already starting to review his options. Next 2 games are going to be interesting!

Interested to hear what you heard. |

A few murmurs around the ground about a certain Mr West, not Kayne. |

Was told there were a couple of prospective managers circling last Wednesday and there were 5 ex n current managers there tonight, including Mr West. Had been told he'd wanted a long break, but maybe 3 months constitutes a long break?

I wasn't there last night so reluctant to comment too much though reassured to hear we didn't play that badly. A massive blow to be out of the FA Cup already and to a step 5 side. My overriding sense though is that things aren't right, that possibly JW isn't in a position to turn things round and the post match interviews might as well be played on loop. Be a shame but sometimes as well to be realistic and accept a change is needed.

Saw my first game of the season last night. Owen James (11) should play more centrally than left, and clearly at a higher level than this so we had better make the most of the Green and white Messi while he is still here. Penalty killed the game and it was such a stupid senseless suicidal way to loose but who knows what goes through these young mens minds in the heat of the game.
Getting on the back of the gaffer after such few games in his first full season is shamefull, this is a 3-5 year project at best. I detect he only accepts success and hard work and on that basis I think he should be backed, that and his business sense, his money and who he knows, everything we lack. This booing part time lads at FT when they drive hours and play minutes for peanuts is symbiotic of modern life, meaningful success is never instant and I found it very depressing to hear as I left the game.

You may well be right, it could very well be a 3-5 year project and not all of those years necessarily at Southern League level. The nature of modern football is such that such long term timetables are very rarely kept to.
Booing will never achieve anything constructive. Players know when they haven’t done themselves justice.

I believe the booing was at the officials. Best we played all season last night just no cutting edge sadly.

Does anyone know if Wells has resigned or not? Very quiet on the socials since the game. Would be a shame if he did go now, I can’t help but feel this squad will click together soon.

I don't think so. If Jack did offer his resignation I'm sure it was out of decency after a disappointing, albeit small, run of results. He doesn't strike me as the type of person to want to walk away that easily.
My hope is that everyone (board, management team, players and supporters) keeps the faith for the time being. We can get something from Saturday's game if we apply ourselves properly.

If as some here are suggesting, he did consider resigning (with the board, not just talking to himself in his car) then just get rid now, he's not committed.
If he didn't then it's a tough call for the board to make but the earlier these decisions are made, the more time we have to put things right. There will be a big buzz about the place on Saturday if we've got a new manager in with two games in quick succession.

Any suggestions Ohduckinghell who we can just magically appoint?
I don't know JW, but I don't think it would have been (if the rumour is true) because he is not committed. What makes you think he is not committed? Maybe be man or woman enough to speak to JW after the game on Saturday and understand his reasons. Having spoken to him a few times, he says it how it is, maybe he will explain what his thinking was behind the alleged resignation
Like him or not, I don't think JW is going out of his way to lose games. Him winning is just as important for him and building his own reputation as well as the club winning games. Sometimes it works out for managers and some times it doesn't. He has been called Marmite on here before and I get that, but it is a little early calling for him to go.
Football fans are a very fickle breed. At the last game of the season fans were signing his name and now 2 league games and 1 cup game later they are calling for him go
As for the board making the decisions, as I understand this appointment was made by our Chairman, the same guy who has made ZERO progress in finding a new ground for us since 2006. Maybe it is a new Chairman we need with strong leadership, drive, enthusiasm and can drive the club forward, more urgently than a new manager

no, no suggestions magic or not.
Why do I have to be woman enough to speak to him? I just said if as some are suggesting. If he has offered to resign then what more would you like to see to prove he's not committed? Telling someone you don't want to be somewhere normally means you don't want to be somewhere. Anyway, all appears to be hearsay at this stage.
Glad we can agree that's he not losing on purpose.
