Woking (24-8-7, 1st) @ Cheltenham(12-11-16, 17th)
We played Cheltenham in the FA Trophy this year, twice due to a replay. We're 3-4-0 lifetime against them, and 1-2-0 this year. We tied 0:0 on the road during the FA Trophy. We are very small 6:4 favorites today.
Today's lineup, amidst more tirednes and injury(Anane back out) and trave(Nikolaou):
GK: Lynch
DEF: Miquel/Fenton/Thomas/Pulis
MC: Sloma/Arter
AM: Bennett/McLaggon
ST: Harsanyi/Subotic
3': Bennett with a nice run down the left sideline, crosses into the area, subotic heads it, just wide!
4': Counter for Cheltenham, striker White fires a shot from 18 yards out, its parried away by Lynch, falls to another striker, and he puts it easily in. 0-1
12': A beautiful counter for Woking. Arter lofts a ball to Harsanyi who beats the defense down the left side. He draws the center of the defense, slides the ball over to Subotic who is now running completely free, Subotic puts it in! 1-1
37': Subotic picks up the ball 25 yards out, makes a great cut by a defender, generates a clear cut chance in the area but its well saved.
42': A corner for Cheltenham, they head the ball, its off Lynch... off the right post... back into the center... cleared off the line by Arter. WHEW.
HALF: Its 1-1 but could have been crazy. We have 5 shots, 2 on target, but 3 clear cut chances. Cheltenham has 5 shots, 3 on target, but FOUR clear cut chances. A couple easy lookign goals off target, a couple great saves by the keepers.
61': a long free kick taken by their keeper. Its played amazingly by striker White, incredible first touch in the area slightly behind the defense, and he takes one dribble and puts it in. Lynch seemed like he coudl have dove for it and didn't. 1-2
61': Herd in for a tired Sloma.
85': Holy crap like 25 minutes just went by witout breaking in to the highlights.
94': One last chance, a cross comes into the area by Bennett, Subotic strikes it on a volley but right at the keeper.
Cheltenham 2 : 1 Woking
Subotic with a 7.3 and the only goal. Assist by Harsanyi (6.7). We controlled 57% of the possession and generated 11 shots, 3 clear cut strikes(all in the first half) but just could not get it done.
That loss means we're only 5 up with 6 left.
1. Woking - 80 pts
2. Forest Green - 75 pts
