-- The press heaps praise on Harsanyi after our win. Harsanyi has never liked the attention, any time another coach calls him out as a player they fear or there are too many press reports about him his morale goes down. Today is a first though... "The Surrey Herald has reported that Woking's Zoltan Harsanyi is deeply unhappy at recent press attention. [b]The striker has reportedly threatened to quit English soccer if he is not left alone."

!!!!!!!!! I guess I give him a couple games off?

December 12th, 2015

Brighton(10-8-3, 4th) Woking (12-5-3, 3rd)


This is the first big game where our fatigue could be a big factor and will be noticibly different than our opponents. Brighton are only 3 points behind us in 4th as well. Big game for us. They're 6:4 to win, we're 13:8, they're favored but its basically even. We're expected to sell over 5000 tickets for this match. This is another team we haven't done so well against in our history (like Oxford last match). We're 1-0-3 against them over the past few seasons.

Brighton foward Ugur Ocak has 7 goals, that's a name that stands out from past games. Perry Wells has 9 goals to lead them.

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

Subotic starts for Harsanyi today, and Middleton is back at MC. As much as I love O'Sullivan Upson/Middleton seems to be our best combo and its not really even close. We set out atacking and we'll play with a high defensive line at the recommendation of my assistant's.

11': Brighton have earned 4 corners now, 3 of them in a row, they just took the first shot of the match. The last corner we clear out and try to counter attack, Colin makes a long run, tries to get it to Subotic, gets it back but has no luck creating anything.

18': We win a header on a goal kick and get the ball foward pretty quickly. Subotic hits Constantino about 25 yards out with a little room. The keeper is a bit off his line and Constantino tries to loft a shot over his head. It lands on the top of the net, pretty close.

31': We give up a corner, they take it to the far end of the 6 yard box, Lynch dives out for it and misses... but we win the header, whew.

33': Brighton earn 2 more corners.. up to 7 now, but we clear ok. Constantino generates something from nothing with his speed, earning us a corner as he charges into the area with the ball against like 4 defenders, we can't do anything with it though.

HALF: Brighton saw a number of attacks but only managed 2 shots, just 1 on target. We never really got the ball solidly into the penalty area, we shot 4 times, all off target. We have a 53/47 possession edge and are dominant in the air, winning 77% of our headers, we're passing way better, but they're tackling well... 84% of their tackle attempts have come through. That's preventing us from buidling anything.

57': We have a long highlight in their end of the field that mainly consists of us heading the ball around without doign anything threatening at all.

61': corner for Brighton, they get a shot off this one and hti the right post, whew, close one there.

74': Harsanyi in for Constantino, O'Sullivan in for Upson. constantino with the worst game he's played for us so far today.

76': We have a corner, O'Sullivan crosses into the area, Nikolaou is there, he outjumps a defender and heads it by the keeper!!! After 114 leauge matches without a goal he's got two in two games. 1-0

83': Middleton comes off injured, he can come back in but he's on the sideline being treated. They get a free kick from 25 yards out while he's off and take it pretty solidly, Lynch is theer to make the save though and holds it safely.

85': We almost get a second goal clearing out of the defense and counter attacking, theer's a long ball to Harsanyi, he's closed down on before he can make a move to score, instead he goes wide, waits for some help and crosses, Colin is at the 6 yard box for the header, but its saved.

88': they get a cross after a throwin and a header from a threatening spot is put wide.

90': A long shot is deflected and Brighton win a corner, we clear it out though.

Woking 1 : 0 Brighton

We get our second win over a playoff contender in a week!

In the end each team shoots 9 times. O'Sullivan had just been subbed in when he played the cross leading to the winning goal.

Man of the Match: Nikolaou (8.4)
Goals: Nikolaou
Assists: O'Sullivan (6.9)
Notables: Upson (7.0), N'Guessan (7.0), Constantino (5.5).

Constantino was prety bad today, everyone gets an off day though if you score more than once a match for 1/3 of a season.
