-- Our MC's are both in the league 2 team of the week, O'Sullivan and Upson.

February 13th, 2016

Accrington(10-9-12, 16th) @ Woking (21-5-5, 1st)

At home against a middle of the pack team, this is expected to be a big win for us, we're even money favorites, they are 11:5. We're 4-2-3 lifetim against them, but the first meeting this year was rather memorable, and not in a good way. We scored 3 first half goals on these guys, giving one back in the 56th minute and giving two more back in the final 15 minutes, ending in a 3-3 tie. We need a first half repeat without the collapse today.

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

Billy Greulich has 15 goals for Accrington, by far the most for them. On our side Nikolaou is hurt but Vince Taylor is back to full training, so Williams moves out to DL, Taylor back in at DC. We attack.

19': The first legit scoring chance of the game comes as Colin shrugs off a tackler on a run down the left side before firing in a nice cross, Harsanyi heads it well over though. That was our 3rd shot, the other two weak and off target.

25': Accrington build up, there is a through ball from 25 yards out, into a huge amount of space given that our defense is fully back... Greulich runs onto it and scores with ease, yuck! 0-1

29': Free kick from out right, Smith takes it and sends a cross into the area, Ed Upson is the first to it in the crowd, he gets his head to it and buries it into the back of the net!! 1-1

40': The highlights are all attacking for us now, we've earned a few corners and had a couple shots blocked but thats really it so far.

47': They try to clear a ball out of their defensive end but a nice Ogogo tackle keeps it for us, he passes to Upson who has a crack from 25 yards out... its just off the right post, strong effort!

HALF: We end up with 8 shots here, 3 on target, it doesn't really feel like that many since most of them never looked like they had a chance of doing anything. Accrington 3 shots, just the one goal on target. If we keep the pressure on i'm confident we'll get the win here.

54': Accrington highlights so far, they earn 2 corners but the best they can do is get a shot blocked before we counter attack.

60': Three highlights for us but two of them just show a ball sailing through the penalty area untouched. The third Upson takes a shot from 20 yards out at a tough angle and its much closer than I'd expect it to be. Upson has become a serious scoring threat all of a sudden!

78': Alcock in at DR, Ogogo AMR, N'Guessan is tired and sits.

79': Vince Taylor with a yellow "for persistent fouling"

81': Alcock plays a cross into the area... there's a foul! The cross seemed long and misplaced but apparently someone was impeded from getting to the ball, Upson is going ot take the penalty, and he buries it! 2-1 Controversy!!!!

84': There's a long ball forward from the midfield for Accrington, they get a striker behind Vince Taylor, his first touch is fairly poor and he shoots a wild shot over the bar. That was a catastrophic mistake by Taylor, we just got very lucky.

89': We counter after forcing a turnover, Ogogo plays a ball up to Constantino and now he's behind their defense! He makes a run into the penalty area, pulls up... but the keeper stops it, nice save. Corner comes to nothing.

90': Harsanyi with a yellow for a tackle in defense.

There are 5 minutes of extra time but we spend all of it earning corners and throwins deep in their end and taking our sweet time doing anything at all.

Woking 2 : 1 Accrington

A win is a win but it would be fair to say we did not play well here today. We got bailed out to earn the winning goal and bailed out again that they couldn't convert on a couple massive mistakes we made.

Man of the Match: Ed Upson (9.0)
Goals: Upson 2
Assists: Smith (6.7), Colin (8.9)
Notables: O'Sullivan (7.1), Ogogo (7.8)

We are now 9 points up over 2nd place with 14 matches to go:

1. Woking - 71 pts
2. Stockport - 62 pts
3. MK Dons - 56 pts
-----------------------
4. Rochdale - 55 points

Maybe more importantly, we are 16 points ahead of 4th place, since the top 3 spots auto promote.
