Woking(2-2-3, 14th) @ Brighton(0-4-3, 23rd)


Brighton are 4:5 favorites at home despite a 2:10 goal differential in their first 7 matches and no wins.

Jesus is back to full training, he probably can't go the whole match today but we'll start him to get him back out there. Anane gets some action over Ogogo as well.

GK: Lynch
DEF: Nikolaou/Williams/Smith/Anane
MC: Upson/O'Sullivan
AM: Jesus/Downes
ST: Harsanyi/Pablo

12': Pablo shows some great control receiving a pass in the penalty area, dribbling through the defense, feeding the ball back out to Nikolaou, who crosses right back in and Harsanyi is there to head the ball past the helpless keeper! 1-0 This ends a long goal drought for Harsanyi.

30': Midfielder Crofts with a yellow for a hard tackle on O'Sullivan.

31': Upson with a hard strike from 20 yards out that the keeper is able to deflect.

45': Brighton win a corner, they take it low to the near side and we are not really defending well at all, there's a shot, its blocked by someone and Nikolaou is first to the loose ball to clear it, that was dangerous.

HALF: Not a lot of highlights here but we definitely have the upper hand today. 58/42 edge in possession, 4 shots for us with 2 on target, 3 shots for them, none on target.

64': After countless attacks that came to absolutely nothing for us, we control possession, go down the left side to Jesus, he cuts in a bit, O'Sullivan makes a run up the middle and no defender follows him at all, a completely free run into the area, Jesus plays a ball forward to him, O'Sullivan receives it and puts it by the keeper from about 10 yards out. 2-0

66': Brighton attack and win a corner. they get to this one, winning a header and directing it well by Lynch into the net. first poor corner defense for us all year. 2-1

71': Clapham in for Jesus.

76': Pulis in for Upson.

79': Clapham has a free kick from 30 yards out, he strikes it low just past the wall, the ball bends slightly and just goes into the left side of the net!!! 3-1

We defend the rest of the way and allow a couple corners but nothing dangerous.

Brighton 1 : 3 Woking

We needed this one, a solid road win after a disappointing home loss, outstanding!

Joe O'Sullivan is man of the match today with an assist and a goal, his assist must have been on the free kick (the man getting fouled?). He earns an 8.9 rating.

Goals: Harsanyi (7.4) and Clapham (7.3)
Assists: Nikolaou (7.6) and Jesus (6.9)

Everyone else on the team put up a 6.8 or 6.9 today, we really played well.
