Woking (25-6-5, 1st) @ Notts Co(15-8-13, 11th)

The bettors see this as an even match, giving Notts the slight 6:4 edge to our 13:8. We've played these guys completely even in our history with them, 2-1-2, each team has 8 goals. We tied 2:2 at our place in October.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/V Taylor/Smith/Ogogo
MC: Upson/O'Sullivan
AM: Colin/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/Constantino

Christian Smith is back today, he's not full strength and may not play 90 minutes. Standard mindset on the road against a decent team.

9': They make a long run down the right side, Nikolaou is charging back to defend... they try a cross from the right side of the area... the ball hits nikolaou... and deflects into the goal. Its an own goal.

0-1

14': They attack and get a through ball into the left side of the area, an attacker meets it and shoots, and Lynch makes a good save.

22': We finally manage a shot, Constantino with a nice run down the right, a cross in and a header from Harsanyi, its just barely over.

24': A cross in from Colin, they head it away, but N'Guessan heads it back in... Harsanyi with a pretty strong header that goes wide.

42': Tons of time just ran off the clock... next highlight shows us on offense, Ogogo earns us a corner, Upson takes it, Taylor heads it miles over.

45': N'Guessan makes a run down the right, he pulls up and crosses seemingly too early, we had 3 attackers coming and he sent it in before any were in the penalty area... there's a random header in the box tht doesn't clear, Constantino gets to it but sends it right to the keeper with yet another weak header for us.

HALF: Ugly, ugly half. Notts shoots 4 times, we shoot 6 times but 4 of ours are off target. We have an unbelievable 61/39 possession edge but we just aren't generating anything close to solid. Most of our shots have been awful. And of course they only score due to the freak own goal. Lets pick it up!

48': Our best chance of the match so far, after a long possession constantino receives a pass 25 yards out, he is able to work by his man and get into the box, he's still fairly closely defended but he gets a shot off and the keeper is forced to make the save.

52': O'Sullivan plays a beautiful ball from well on his own side of the field, Constantino turns on the afterbruners and catches up to the ball, there's no one anywhere close. He gets into the area, the keeper comes out, he shoots, but its saved.. there's a rebound and Harsanyi is there, Harsanyi passes the ball into the open net. 1-1

63': throwin for us in their end, its thrown to O'Sullivan who puts it into the box right away, Colin is thre to head it and its just over.. he had a pretty solid look there and could have done better.

65': They work the ball into the box, Vince Taylor makes a very good tackle to clear it away.

71': Ed upson witha yellow.

75': Offensive subs, Moseley in for O'Sullivan, Subotic in for Harsanyi, Kelly in for Colin, fresh legs to go get us the winning goal.

81': Upson with a foul, I hold my breath, no red, whew!

83': Corner kick for Notts after we head a cross behind. Smith misses a chance to intercept, but they try a pass that just goes harmlessly behind for a goal kick.

84': Moseley is at midfield, he makes a nice pass forward to Subotic, Subotic turns and puts a long through ball into the area, Constantino splits two defenders and takes off, he's the first to the ball, and he isn't missing this one! He fires it to the near post and its in! 2-1

91': Poor long shot from Notts after we commit a foul to let them set up an attack.

93': Another chance to attack for Notts, they cross through the area, no one touches it and Smith gets to it and clears it away.

That'll do it!

Notts Co 1 : 2 Woking

We only allow them to shoot 4 times in the second half while our offense gets going much better and we get two goals for the comeback road win.

Man of the Match: Constantino (7.5)
Goals: Constantino, Harsanyi (6.9)
Assists: Constantino, Subotic (6.9)

Constantino with the 7.5 rating. The entire rest of the team, including our three subs, put up 6.8 or 6.9 ratings universally.

2nd place stockport tie 4th place MK Dons, giving us 2 points towards both our goals, 1st place and clinching promotion.

9 matches left, we're up 16 points in 2nd, 21 points on 4th.
