Giuseppe Sole is suffering from food poisoning and will miss a match. I'm glad no one else ate whatever he had.

-- A home match against Darlington is postponed due to a waterlogged field. We're having some issues maintaining our pitch this year it seems.

January 29th, 2012

Woking (19-6-4, 1st) @ Gateshead(14-9-7, 6th)

We're pick'em favorites on the road against a playoff contender. Pretty impressive. We've never lost to these guys, 3-2-0 in our history. We won 3:1 at home in October.

Gateshead is led by Brian Wake, 16 goals for him this season is in 4th in the league this year.

Lynch is back in goal today. Otherwise, no changes from our last match, a first for me all season I believe!

26': Main is clearly offsides on a goal, alas. We ahve 3 shots, they 1. We're domianting possession big time today.

34': A goal kick by Gateshead... there's some confusion as the ball comes down, we trip one of their men, the ball falls loose, they get a through ball to Wake and he gets a clear cut strike that he isn't going to miss. 0-1

37': Gateshead score again after a blocked shot... but there was an offsides, whew.

44': A great ball into space from O'Sullivan to Harsanyi, he runs on to it, its our first and only clear cut chance of the half... a hard strike but the keeper deflects it away.

HALF: Each team manages 4 shots, we dominate possession, 65/35, each team with one clear cut strike, they just got that one breakaway and we couldn't convert ours. We need to do better generating chances in the second half with all of that possession, that is for sure.

52': We're forward for a free kick. O'Sullivan tries a shot, its blocked, falls to Main, he plays it wide to Bennett, a cross comes in, Harsanyi is there, he doesn't get a lot of power on his header but its placed well and the keeper can't reach it! 1-1

62': A counter attack has McLaggon charging down the right sideline, a hard cross comes in, Bennett's header is just barely over.

67': Same thing... execpt this time its Harsanyi with the header, still just barely over.

74': Ricketts goes down hard, he's hurt and has to come off. We'll see how badly in a bit. Anane in for Ricketts, Arter in for Pulis.

83': O'Sullivan with a yellow in midfield.

85': Subotic in for Main.

90': A cross from Bennett is punched away by their keeper, we can't get to the loose ball. We control after clearance though, McLaggon crosses, Subotic heads it over.

Gateshead 1 : 1 Woking

We're better than them, but we'll settle for a tie on the road. We dominate possession and the shots, but struggle to get them on target. Lots of successful crosses today, more than usual for us, but we had trouble getting the headers on target.

Bennett is man of the match today with the assist and a 7.6 rating. Harsanyi with yet another goal, 7.0.

O'Sullivan put up a 7.0, Nikolaou a 7.3, and that's it today.

Injury Update

Its a bad one. Mark Ricketts has a torn ACL. 10-12 months. Anane can play, so we're not in awful shape. Ricketts is our captain, his contract is coming up, he's turning 29 and now he might not play until next January. That'll be a decision at the end of the year.

Harsanyi's goal today was his 25th in league play. Second in the league is Barrow's Jason Walker with just 19. the league record was set by Kettering's Stephen O'flynn in 10/11 at 35 goals.
