Woking (14-5-3, 1st) @ Wycombe(5-8-9, 19th)


And the beat goes on, we play again on 3 days rest. We've almost survived this awful december stretch, just a couple more! We're 6:4 favorites to their 13:8, basically even on the road. Wycombe are struggling in 19th place, we're 2-2-0 against them, beating them both times we played last season.

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

Constantino is back in at foward, Colin at AML. O'Sullivan gives Upson the day off. Vince Taylor is good to go again today. Its pouring down rain today, and their field looks pretty good, way way better than ours in this weather. We're going to attack today.

8': They get a straight on shot from 18 yards out, Lynch has to dive and makes a "brilliant save" according to the commentary. Corner comes to nothing.

12': Our defense should be embarrassed. Their two forwards play a give and go and Smith is just totally dumbfounded by the through ball, their top scorer Bradley burns everyone and beats Lynch with his shot. 0-1

25': Mike Williams with a foul just outside the area, they shoot on the free kick but Lynch saves.

33': They attack, there's a cross into the area, Vince Taylor goes up to ehad it away but he's deemed to have fouled their attacker... that's a penalty, and they convert it. 0-2

HALF: This is just bad. We have 2 shots, both are headers by Constantino, one a weak one that was easily saved, the other way over. They shoot 6 times, putting 4 on target, the stats are pretty darn even but they have the one through ball that burned us and the penalty and its looking really bad.

49': We try to attack, O'Sullivan shoots from 25 yards out and its saved, they get behind us on the punt by the keeper... foward Pittman runs onto it behidn our back line, he makes a long run as Taylor and Smith can't catch him, he shoots as Lynch comes out... and the ball hits the crossbar. Whew.

52': Mike Williams picks up a yellow.

57': Mike williams is dispossessed after a throwin deep in our offensive end, but the ball pokes out to O'sullivan, he crosses into the area, N'Guessan heads it, and it just goes over the outstretched arms of the keeper and squirts into the net!! We get one back and ahve a shot here. 1-2

65': We earn a corner, its played to the far post, N'Guessan gets his head to this one too... and it hits the crossbar, so close!

71': We push foward, Colin tries a through ball from about 25 yards out, its blocked by a defender, but the ball falls back to Colin, he makes a move ot the right by a defender, and shoots from just outside the penalty area, the keeper isn't ready and he buries it into the right side of the net!! 2-2

73': A quick attack.. Colin rushes down the left sideline, crosses, N'Guessan sprints ahead of the defense and gets his head to the ball at the edge of the 6 yard box, it hits the right upright and caroms in!! Goal!!!!!! 3-2

74': We try to give away our comeback. they get into the area and fire a shot, Lynch saves it but can't hold it... there's a rebound, they get to it... and a shot hits the right post and goes out of play. Whew.

78': O'Sullivan plays a ball foward, they head it away from the penalty area but Middleton heads it back foward immediately. Constantino is first to it and centers the ball, Middleton is there and his quick shot is by the keeper!!! A couple funny bounces there and we were just faster to the ball, catching them out of position. 4-2

82': Vince Taylor picks up a yellow, his 5th of the year, he'll miss the next match.

91': We're fighting for possession to try to kill the clock, there's a tackle in the midfield and N'Guessan goes down. He's hurt and his fitness drops a TON. Worried about this one, lets see what they say after the game.

Wycombe 2 : 4 Woking

Crazy game, we look terrible in the first half but find 4 second half goals and run away with it!!

Man of the Match: N'Guessan (9.2)
Goals: N'Guessan 2, Middleton (8.0), Colin (9.0)
Assists: O'Sullivan 2 (8.6), Colin, Constantion (7.1)
Notables: Lynch (7.4), V Taylor (7.0)


Injury Update

N'Guessan twists his ankle and is going to miss 4 weeks. After 3 goals in 2 games it really sucks to lose him for a month.


-- Abu Ogogo resumes full training. We're really, really happy to get him back. We've got a full week off til our last couple matches of the month.
