-- The transfer window opened back up in January, I looked at some short term loan options but never really found anything I liked, we have a lot of players on the roster and it would take a massive upgrade to want to acquire someone new.

-- Harsanyi has resumed full training coming off his recent injury. He probably won't be ready for our next match, but glad to have him back obviously.

-- Chris Herd had been pretty much abandoned as someone of value to Woking, He signs an agreement to transfer to "FH" in Iceland once his contract ends in June. FH stands for Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjaroar, by the way. Right... FH it is. Good luck to Chris Herd.

Woking(13-4-12, 9th) @ Chesterfield (3-8-18, 24th)

Chesterfield are 4:6 favorites today. We lost to the #23 team a couple weeks ago, we cannot lose to the worst team in the league here. We're still just a point out of the playoffs, and there's a long way to go, but this feels like the type of game where we must find at least a point and preferably 3. We're 1-1-1 against them over the last season and a half, winning 2:1 at our place in September. Ryan Blackwell leads them with 12 goals.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Smith/Cooper/Ogogo
DMC: Taylor
MC: Upson/O'Sullivan
AM: Collins/Downes
ST: Bell-Baggie

Cooper in for Williams who has a 6.28 avg rating over his last 5 matches. O'Sullivan is back from injury and Downes is in for Kenny who is hurt. Harsanyi won't play today.

1': We have the ball to start, buliding up an attack quickly. Upson ahead to Collins who cuts behind the deefnse. He has a close range shot, but its at a tough angle and the keeper saves it.

12': Collins a cross in that O'Sullivan puts over the bar. We've had a number of highlights in their defensive half of the field but I hven't seen Bell-Baggie touch the ball yet.

26': Chesterfield had a little flurry where the earned a couple corners, then the higlights come back to our end, but we're putting everything off target.

36': More corner kicks for Chesterfield, they have 6 so far, most earned as they cross it into the area and we head it behind. Over and over and over.

HALF: We lead possession 55/45, each team ends up with 5 shots, they have 2 on target we have juts 1 on target, Collins early strike. Most of the highlights have us on offense, but we really haven't done much with it since the opening minute.

55': Its another flurry of 3 corners for Chesterfield, they don't get a single shot here though.

64': Bell-Baggie receives a pass about 18 yards out, he turns and fires, its on target but saved. Credited as a clear cut strike but I don't really see why, not that easy! Nice to see him touch the ball at leas.t

69': A free kick for chesterfield from mdifield, there are two quck passes before a through ball to Blackwell. He receives it cleanly and scores easily. Yuck. 0-1

86': N'Diaye in for a tired Downes, we are trying to attack obvoiusly to get a goal back.

91': A logn ball from Taylor is played foward to Bell-Baggie, great control, he pushes the ball into the area, beats the keeper who came out of the net to pressure... but hits the right upright. doh!

93': Long pass ahead form Nikolaou, Bell-Baggie receives it in the midfield circle, two defenders close down on him, he pushes the ball foward and breaks into a sprint, leaving both defenders in the dust! He makes a run, the keeper again comes out, Bell-Baggie pulls up 20 yards out, takes aim, he fires and again gets it by the keeper, this one is in! Struck nicely into the left side of the net!!! We get the tying goal! 1-1

Chesterfield 1 : 1 Woking

We should really be getting 3 points against these bad teams but hey, at least we salvaged one. Stats are very similar to the first half, we take 8 shots, they take 7, possession 57/43 in our favor, they end up with 11 corner kicks but its just the one through ball/defensive letdown allowing the goal. We get the late breakaway for the last second tie. Nikolaou has the assist, he was great in defense as well today and earns an 8.1 rating and man of the match. Bell-Baggie ends up with a 7.0 and the goal. Taylor (7.2), Upson (7.0) and Ogogo (7.0) stand out as well.

-- We lose ground today as the teams around us get wins. We fall to 10th and are 3 points out of the playoffs now (we were just 1 point out).
