November Update

-- We only play 3 league matches in November. The FA Cup gets into full swing and the League Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy progress, but we're not in those anymore. We open the month with our first FA Cup match, it'll be on the road but against a lower division side. If we win the second round would occur at the end of the month.

-- Constantino is the League 2 Player of the Month for October. This is his second straight month winning the award. Ed Upson scored two goals in four appearances in October, he's second in the voting. Constantino had the 2nd best goal of the month, and I was third in manager of the month voting.

-- The board remains delighted with my leadership. Our dominant performance in League 2 is the highlight and the loss of Giuseppe Sole remains a sticking point. Either he's the most beloved player ever, or there's just nothign else to complain about. We lost only $43k last month.

-- Ed upson is named to the League 2 team of the week. Somehow, Constantino is not!

FA Cup First Round

Woking (1st, L2) @ Morecambe(6th, BSP)

We're 5:4 favorites on the road, they are 7:4. Morecambe were relegated out of league one 2 seasons ago (13/14), our first season in league 2. We beat them 3:0 both times we played that year, our only two meetings ever.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Williams/V Taylor/Alcock
MC: Upson/Middleton
AM: colin/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/Constantino

Upson is getting a lot of press and has played great so he's in next to Middleton. Colin at AML today. We'll attack.

2': They get a throwin in our end, there's one pass to a man 20 yards out, he turns, fires, and makes Lynch look downright bad... blows it right by him. 0-1

9': Middleton to Harsanyi in the midfield, Harsanyi comes foward, plays a through ball to the penalty spot, Constantino gets behind his man, controls it well and calmly puts it by the keeper. 1-1

11': Colin with a run down the left, a cross, Middleton just misses a header.

13': Long ball out of the defense by Colin, Constantino runs onto it but can't put it in immediately, the keeper rushes out and shuts down his angle, his shot is saved.

18': Taylor intercepts a cross and gets it foward quickly. Middleton to Upson, back to Middleton, ahead to Constantino, he goes wide and crosses to Harsanyi, he heads it, just barely wide.

20': Another attack for Woking, Constantino beats two defenders about 30 yards out, cuts wide as there are defenders there still, he crosses into the penalty area and Colin is there for the header, his aim is true and the keeper can't stop it, we take the lead! 2-1

33': Middleton shows great ball control to get the ball foward through a crowded midfield, he plays it foward to Constantino, the defense converges, a through ball to N'Guessan, he shoots... just saved.

37': WTF! Goal kick for morecambe, Williams is there but he just flat out misses a header and the ball falls free, Morecambe attacker Cunliffe runs onto it and has clean shot that Lynch can't stop. 2-2

44': Morecambe with a long buildup, all of a sudden there's a ball played into the area from about 30 yards out. Their man Cunliffe runs onto this one and has another great look, and he doesn't miss this one either. 2-3 We cry for an offsides call and i think there may be a point here... but still, disgusting.

HALF: Mike Williams 4.9, Alcock 5.6, Nikolaou 5.7. We just seem to get so damn complacent against lower prestige teams. Thoms is coming in for Nikolaou, maybe he'll play hard. I also call for our defense to play with a deeper back line. It's been an exciting half, 21 shots between the two teams and 5 goals. We need to get a couple in the second half!

52': Upson with a yellow for a tackle near midfield.

58': We have a throwin in our offensive end. We have a good amount of buidup trying to find a good shot, Middleton gets it centered to Harsanyi. He's about 25 yards out and has a defender draped all over him. He makes a quick move and shoots from that distance... his shot hits the left post and bounces into the net!!! 3-3

66': Incredible individual effort by Constantino. He receives a pass 35 yards out, drags two defenders with him into the penalty area, cuts wide, makes a great pass across the face of the goal, Colin has a clear cut chance at the far end of the 6 yard box... and puts it into the keeper's hands. Seriously the entire left side of the net was open, and he just hit it right to the keeper.

74': N'Diaye in for N'Guessan at AMR.

78': Our first lapse of the half, there's a through ball that Cunliffe fires.. Lynch came out quickly here and blocked the shot.

81': We win a ball in the midfield, Upson to constantino, he puts it out wide for N'Diaye, long run, cross... header by Harsanyi, but its over.

83': After a corner, Williams has the ball out left, he passes to Colin in the area, Colin cuts by a defender and somehow finds an open shot in an incredibly crowded penalty area... he beats the keeper, and we take the lead!! 4-3

85': We win a ball in midfield, Colin to Harsanyi, Harsanyi with a through ball to Constantino, Constantino shoots quickly and beats the keeper!! 5-3

89': We earn a corner, Mike Williams takes the low pass.. and he's tackled in the box, that's a penalty! We're just piling on now as Constantino nails the PK, that's the hat trick. 6-3

92': Oh god. Its the nightmare scenario. We're running out the clock and there's a long goal kick. Constantino picks it up and he's tackled and he's down. He's got the injury marker next to his name. Holding my breath until the postgame reports.

Morecambe 3 : 6 Woking

Man of the Match: Constantino (9.6)
Goals: Constantino 3, Colin 2 (9.2), Harsanyi (9.1)
Assists: Harsanyi 2, Williams 2 (7.2), Middleton (8.2), Constantino
Notables: Lynch (7.1), Upson (7.2), Thomas (7.7)

We played a horrible first half but got it together in the second, only allowing 3 shots.

-- We receive $29,500 for our win. We can always use money, and now we earn a second game.

-- After the match, Kevin Lynch tells the media that my inspiring words at the half turned the team around and willed them to victory.

-- Constantino has a bruised rib and will only miss 5-7 days. He'll probably miss our next league match, that's it.
