Despite huge pressure and almost total dominance and possession of the ball in the second half of this entertaining match on Saturday, Stones couldn’t deliver the break through, and, in the final analysis, had only themselves to blame for not taking all three points from an in-form Bury side.
It was an unhappy Bank Holiday Monday for Wealdstone, as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at AFC Hornchurch.This defeat will have hurt Wealdstone, as they must feel they did enough to at least take home a point, if not all three, but instead left Essex empty handed.
The main talking point after this ultimately very comfortable victory for Wealdstone was the worrying head injury sustained by in-form striker Greg Ngoyi who had enjoyed another impressive performance along side Scott Fitzgerald on Saturday.
Wealdstone put in a highly impressive performance in their first home game of the season to record a 3-0 victory over Tooting and Mitcham. The overall performance was much better from Stones, and they looked a completely different side to the one which was well beaten by Hastings at the weekend. Although only two games into the season, Wealdstone fans have every reason to be optimistic if this performance is anything to go by.
Wealdstone came away from the Pilot Field on Saturday with their tails firmly between their legs with an opening day reverse and can only have themselves to blame for a performance that, ultimately, got precisely what it deserved - nil poi.
Wealdstone completed their penultimate pre-season match on Saturday with a win but far more importantly there were strong signs that a
reshaped squad is now gelling within Gordon Bartlett's preferred system for the upcoming campaign.
Wealdstone continued their pre-season campaign with a hard fought 3-2 win over newly promoted Zamaretto Division One side North
Greenford United on Monday evening. Whilst it was a much improved performance, particularly in the midfield areas there is still work to
be done defending from set pieces.
How much Stones Manager Gordon Bartlett learnt from this hard fought friendly match is uncertain but with the news that a further two
players have been signed the eventual starting eleven for the big kick off in two weeks time may be becoming a little clearer.
Wealdstone Manager Gordon Bartlett was pleased with the performance at Vauxhall Road on Wednesday night as he grapples this summer with
the permutations within a squad of enviable numbers and ability.
