Wings currently occupy the top relegation spot in 21st place with 29 points from 31 games.

Form wise though, a little like Weymouth, they've strung together a bit of a run. They may only be in 12th with 8 points from the last available 18 home and away but they're unbeaten in four with wins against Hemel and Hampton followed by draws with Taunton and Tonbridge. We top the lot with 16/18. Worth noting who's second though, Saturday's visitors Braintree!
Their home form exactly matches their league position, 21st. With just one win in that period, the aforementioned Hampton win, they have just five points from the last available 18 on their turf. They lost to Aveley, Dartford and Eastbourne in this period. Unsurprisingly we remain top of the away form charts with 15/18 on the road.

The numbers show what they show but in truth they're a kinda secondary consideration at the moment because we are absolutely purring right now. 'Feelings' are an airy-fairy unquantifiable entity, but if earlier in the season it 'felt' worse than the numbers were telling us then right now it 'feels' even better, it 'feels' like we're almost unstoppable.
To go to a form team, unbeaten at home since November and get a 1-4 win with 10 men is extraordinary. Compare and contrast that with the 'runaway leaders' single goal win over relegation fodder Havant yesterday. Yes pride comes before a fall and yes it can all go south very quickly, but while there's belief, while there's is a tidal wave of epic momentum to ride, let's flippin' ride it.
Squad wise and annoyingly the suspensions won't kick in until Saturday. Some of the defence may have been rested/rotated against Wings and preserved for the huge Braintree clash. But Joel and Roobs will inevitably play now given they will have to sit Saturday out. A question over Tommy Willard who allegedly limped off, again maybe he will be kept on ice for Braintree. He can't make too many changes though, the momentum rests with this quite settled group over the last few games.
All midweek games...
Monday
Aveley v Maidstone United
Tuesday
Bath City v Truro City
Braintree Town v Tonbridge Angels
Dover Athletic v St Albans City
Eastbourne Borough v Havant & Waterlooville
Farnborough v Torquay United
Hemel Hempstead Town v Chelmsford City
Slough Town v Dartford
Taunton Town v Chippenham Town
Welling United v Worthing
Weymouth v Hampton & Richmond Borough
Yeovil Town v Weston-super-Mare
Being on grass we can't ignore the possibility this could be weather effected. Judging by the Vlog from their game with Tonbridge yesterday >> Tonbridge Fan TV << the pitch looked OK away from the goalmouths but there has been one helluva lot of rain since they finished playing yesterday, with more to come tomorrow morning. A bit like Weymouth therefore lets hope their drainage is up to clearing it all through the forecast dry 24 hours or so immediately before the game itself.
Safe travel to all heading up and come on you Rebels!
