-- Dany N'Guessan is named in the league one team of the week.

-- Mickael Colin resumes full training. He'll miss our Barnsley match but is good to go after that.

March 25th, 2017

Woking (20-12-6, 2nd) @ Barnsley(12-11-15, 15th)


Barnsley are 4:5 favorites today, we're 3:1 to get a win on the road. We tied them 4:4 at home, one of the craziest games we've played. They got a 6th minute goal, we tied it in the 7th. We go up 2:1 in the 28th, they score in the 52nd to tie, 58th to take the lead, and we tie it in the 60th. We look to win after an 86th minute goal but give up yet another in the 89th. Constantino got a hat trick for us, lets see what he can do today.


GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Taylor/Marc/Ogogo
MC: Upson/Cook
AM: Zatara/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/Constantino

Barnsley's John Sutton leads them with 16 goals, Giovanni Paghera has 10. Standard mindset on the road for us.

4': We earn two early corners, on the second, Upson takes it to the far post, the keeper dives for it but doesn't reach it, Marc connects on the header and puts it into the open net!! 1-0

9': Paghera for them runs down the left side, he's got a tough angle shot on Lynch but tries a pass instead... its blocked by a defender and right back to Paghera, he shoots and Lynch has to make a diving save, whew.

16': Cook with a pass ahead to Harsanyi, he's at the 18 yard line in between two defenders, he turns and shoots, but its wide right, it was a really solid look.

18': Constantino is out wide right, instead of crossing he plays it back to Ogogo and cuts into the middle of the area, Ogogo to Upson, Upson puts it through to Constantino, Barnsley clearly feel he's offsides but its not called and Constantino has a very easy finish! 2-0

27': Poor clearance by Barnsley, Ogogo recovers the ball about 35 yards out, getting it quickly to Harsanyi, he cuts to the right and draws both central defenders, he puts a pass beautifully in between them to Constantino who is left wide open as a result of Harsanyi's move, another trivial finish that Constantino isn't' going to miss. 3-0

40': We give up a corner... head it behind for a second.. Taylor wins a header to clear after that.

HALF: We've got a 57/43 possession edge, 8 shots (6 on target) to their 5 (3 on target) but our chances have just been very easy ones, our passing is great and our finishing is where it should be. I'm not obsessing about it to the point of keeping the scores up at all times yet, but I notice Gillingham is losing today at the half.

48': Harsanyi down the left side, a pass back to Zatara, a ball into the area for Constantino who is left wide open again, another easy finish and a hat trick! Harsanyi gets the credit there, he drew the defense out with his run. 4-0

68': Wiggins in for Nikolaou, Chester in for Marc, Subotic in for Harsanyi, just resting.

80': We have a throwin in their end, there's a pass to Cook who burns one defender, draws a second and lays a ball off to Constantino. He's got another open look on their keeper and its his 4th goal!! 5-0


We put it away and run out the clock after that.

Barnsley 0 : 5 Woking

We only allowed them one shot in the second half of this utter stomp.

Man of the Match: Constantino (9.8)
Goals: Constantino 4, Marc (8.9)
Assists: Upson 2 (8.9), Cook (8.6), Zatara (8.0), Harsanyi (7.4)
Notables: Lynch (7.2), Ogogo (8.4), Nikolaou (7.8), Taylor (8.1), N'Guessan (7.5)


Gillingham drops one 2:0 to Bristol Rovers and all of a sudden are in 4th. Oldham has taken over the #3 spot with a 1-0 win.


With 7 to go (unless otherwise noted)

1. Crystal Palace - 78 pts
2. Woking - 75 pts
--------------------------
3. Oldham - 72 pts
4. Gillingham - 69 pts
5. Stockport - 67 pts (8 matches remaining)
6. Wigan - 60 pts
--------------------------
7. Rochdale - 57 pts (8 matches remaining)
8. Carlisle - 53 pts
9. Swindon - 53 pts

7 others have between 50-52 points and could get in the race with a long winning streak. Crystal Palace could clinch a playoff spot in the next match. I think we're 2 away from being able to do that.

Looking ahead in our schedule we play Wigan, Oldham, and Crystal Palace back to back to back in April. We may not have Sam Cook for all three of those as his loan will be ending.
