The Wings are quickly becoming accustomed to life in the
Conference Premier after gaining promotion form the Conference South as
Champions last season. However, the sides are no strangers having already met
twice this season. The Iron enjoyed a 3-0 win in the FA Trophy with Dan Holman,
Sean Marks and Jordan Cox all on the score sheet in November. However, it was
Welling that stole the points at the Amlin Stadium, scoring the majority in a
five goal showdown where again Cox netted, this time joined by Charlie Strutton.
Welling look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss against
Aldershot, as like the Iron, they have suffered from the heavy rain which has
meant that their last fixture was called off.
A disrupted festive period also saw the Wings pick up a point against
Wrexham, and a win against Dartford. Providing a boost to the Welling side will
be Bailey Cargill, who has just seen his loan period from Bournemouth extended.
He will now link up with Welling player/manager and former Bournemouth
midfielder Jamie Day until the end of the month.
Welling have announced that a pitch inspection has been
scheduled to take place ahead of the fixture at 10am. Braintree fans making the
journey are advised to check the outcome of this tomorrow morning, which will
be announced on the Welling United website and updated here as we hear more.
