Stockport(15-6-7, 5th) @ Woking(13-4-11, 9th)


We are 6:4 favorites today, they are 13:8 dogs. Favorites over a playoff contender! We've not done well against them at all. 0-0-3 over the last season and a half. We lost 2:1 at their place earlier in the season.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Smith/Williams/Ogogo
DMC: Taylor
MC: Upson/N'Diaye
AM: Collins/Kenny
ST: Bell-Baggie

Stockport have dual threats up front in a 4-4-2, Ben Hutchinson has 13 goals, Danny Pilkington has 12. After that they have a random guy with 3 goals. Bell-Baggie will start but almost certainly won't be able to go the whole way.

7': Upson with a ball foward to Bell-Baggie, he places a nice ball foward for N'Diaye, he gets off a nice looking shot but its saved.

30': Thorugh ball for Stockport to Hutchinson, Smith is out of position as he cuts towards the middle and allows a very easy strike for a goal. 0-1

38': Kenny is injured, he can stay on but our injuries are piling up.

45': Taylor with a hard tackle on a free kick, yellow.

48': COLLINS! He's just all over it. Taylor with a ball to N'Diaye, he plays it foward to Kenny who is cutting to the center, he draws some defenders and plays a great ball through the crowded area to Collins who puts it in from point blank range! 1-1

HALF: We get a critical goal at the very end of extra time in the first half. Critical goal that should give us the advantage back at home.

48': Nikolaou with a cross from the left side, Kenny puts a solid head onto it and sends it just inches wide.

55': Collins is brought down hard making a run down the left side, he's a bit hurt and slowed... ugh.

57': Hutchinson for Stockport gets a ball with no defenders near him... I throw my hands up in the air when I see, HOW IS HE THAT OPEN... but Lynch makes a brilliant save.

69': Downes in for Kenny, Subotic in for Bell-Baggie.

89': No serious higlights for 20 minutes... then... a cross into the area by Stockport is deflected, one of their attackers picks it up at the edge of the penalty area, N'Diaye goes ot tackle it away and brings his man down... its a foul, and a penalty. They drain it. 1-2

Woking 1 : 2 Stockport

We get the tying goal in the final seconds of the first half... we give up the winning goal with a penalty in the final minutes of the match.. Very, very frustrating loss at home. Losing these last two matches after putting ourselves in a position to make the playoffs in the first half of the season is super, super disappointing. These are the types of games where we need points.

Collins yet again is man of the match in a loss. He puts up a 7.5 rating with our only goal. Kenny with the assist and a 6.8 rating. Ogogo put up a 7.1, N'Diaye a 6.0 on the other end.


-- Kenny is going to miss 9-12 days with the injury he picked up today. Collins is fine.

-- We drop to 9th in the loss.
