Bobby Wilkinson has sorted Wealdstone's home form - and now he's taking on their poor away record too, leading the Stones to a first win on the road this season with a 2-1 triumph at Welling United.

Ryan Sellers and Danny Green put them in the driving seat with goals either side of half-time, and they were heading for three points when Ben Jefford was sent off for a lunge on Eddie Oshodi.

But Jack Parkinson set up a tense final half-hour when he nodded in a response to halve the deficit.

The Stones are now only two points off the National League South play-offs; they have picked up 20 points from 11 games since Wilkinson took charge in August.

He named a surprise in his team selection in South East London on Saturday, including new signing Taofiq Olomowewe who arrived after his release by Burnley.

The chances before the break all belonged to the visitors, which was testament to his performance on his debut - although it took some time for the game to see any chances of note.

Abobaker Eisa flashed a header wide from a Green cross, but another delivery would put them ahead, finding Sellers to tap in at the far post.

Within 90 seconds of the restart Stones could put the game to bed, when they won a penalty as Eisa was sent tumbling by Parkinson.

Green planted his spot kick down the middle for a two-goal lead, and they had a man advantage soon after too when Jefford's ugly challenge on Oshodi earned him a straight red card.

Jonathan North was called into action for the first time despite Welling's numerical shortage, saving Tom Bradbook's header after an hour.

But the Wings did score minutes later, when former Preston man Jeffrey Monakana swung in a corner for Parkinson to nod beyond North, and make up for his penalty giveaway earlier in the game.

Welling pressed for an equaliser, enjoying the momentum despite their disadvantages, but Wealdstone were dangerous on the break and Eisa and Dan Fitchett both came close - although it mattered little in the end, as they hung on for a 2-1 win.

Wealdstone: North, Oshodi, Brown, Olomowewe, Day, Cox (Ngamvoulou 66), Sellers, Okimo, Hippolyte-Patrick (Goodger 81), Green, Eisa (Fitchett 88).
