December Updates

-- Thanks to the two games we had rescheduled in november, we play December 1st, 5th, 9th, 12th, 16th, 19th, 26th, and 28th. This is a terrible, terrible time for us to have 3 of our top 5 defenders hurt.

-- The board is delighted with our leadership. The loan of Constantino is the highlight, losing Sole is still the low point. We lost $83k last month despite our FA Cup Money. Only playing like 4 games is a big part of this.

-- The top teams are brought into the FA Cup for round 3, so we've got a shot to say, host an EPL team. We get another home game against one of the worst teams in the Championship league, Bournemouth. They'll be crazy heavy favorites but we'll get a bit of extra revenue out of it. This game isn't scheduled until January 2nd.

December 1st, 2015

Rochdale(10-4-5, 4th) @ Woking (10-4-3, 3rd)

Rematch! Rochdale are 5:4 favorites just like they were in the cup match.

GK: Lynch
D: Williams/Smith/Thomas/Nikolaou
MC: Upson/Middleton
AM: Colin/N'Diaye
FC: Subotic/Harsanyi

Williams and Thomas in on defense, Upson at MC, N'Diaye AMR, Subotic up front. Constantino back for our next match. We continue to attack at home no matter who we play.

1': Colin with a yellow... kinda early bud.

8': Nice through ball from Middleton, Harsanyi tries to get to it, a defender is theer at the same time and pokes it away though.

18': Middleton trying too hard to make the pass... they clear out a corner but we work it back foward, we've got a ton of guys in the penalty area, Middleton has it, he's got space and could line up a really dangerous shot, but instead tries to play ti foward to Harsanyi, too crowded and its cleared out. I wish he'd shoot that one.

21': Most highlights are us trying to attack, and we have a 62/38 edge in possession... but no shots yet.

32': We just shot for the first time, Harsanyi kinda forced one, we eanr a corner as its blocked... the corner is taken to Christian Smith, who goes down in the penalty area and is given a yellow for a dive. Oh god. Its his 5th yellow... he misses our next match.

38': Rochdale has 7 shots, but 4 are from long range, nothing has seemed noteworthy at all, and I haven't seen all of them..

43': our second shot is a poor effort by Subotic from outside the penalty area.

HALF: Smith takes a shot on a free kick at the end of the half, we have 4 shots, 0 on target, nothing remotely close. They have 7 shots, 3 on target, but nothing remotely threatening. Just to try to change things up I bring Paterson in for Subotic at the half.

47': They open with the ball, earning a throwin deep in our end and after a very poor clearance getting a shot on target... it could ahve been dangerous ut it was a super weak looking effort saved by Lynch.

52': we have a throwin and work the ball around, Upson plays it into the area and Paterson breaks onto it first, he gets there and strikes it left across his body, its on target and the keeper can't get to it, goal!!! 1-0 That's Paterson's first ever goal for us.

60': Ferry in for middleton. Middleton has been really good and I want him rested as much as possible for this crazy run of ours.

65': Ferry pulls up and shoots from 25 yards out, he hits the left post but they clear it.

72': They ahve a corner, they control it near our penalty area, working it to the opposite side of the field, there's a cross, it deflects off a defender and falls to one of their attackers, he shoots but Lynch is able to make a diving save, deflecting it wide, and we clear it out.

83': O'Sullivan in for Harsanyi, we drop into a more defensive look to try to end this. Ferry DMC, O'Sullivan/Upson MC, just Paterson at foward.

93': We look to be killing the clock easily, but Ferry makes a bad pass to turn it over and give them one last counterattack. They get it down the left side, but aside from the attacker charging down the left side of the field they don't really have anyone else keeping up. He holds it and tries a cross but our defense got back well and heads it clear. Full time is blown soon after.

Woking 1 : 0 Rochdale

For the 5th match in a row against this team we win 1:0. This one is a league match against a fellow likely playoff contender so this is a pretty good win for us.

Man of the Match: Ed Upson (8.5)
Goal: Paterson (6.9)
Assist: Upson
Notables: Lynch (7.2), Nikolaou (7.4), Williams (7.2), Smith (7.0)

Our entire defense pulls a 7.0 rating except for Thomas. Not a bad effort.
