February 20th, 2016

Woking (22-5-5, 1st) @ Luton(12-11-9, 12th)

Luton are 4:6 favorites today at their place. We're just 7:2 to win. We're 1-2-1 lifetime against these guys, including a 3:1 win back in October. Luton not lost in their last 5 matches. An old and favorite loaner of mine, Curtis Main, is on Luton, though David Ball is their star with 15 goals. Main has 5 goals.

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

Same lineup for us. Luton runs 4-2-1-2-1 with two DMC, two AMs wide, MC and FC. David Ball is their Striker, so Main isn't even out there. Standard mindset today.

1': Long pass foward for us, Harsanyi reaches it first and is brought down. Defender Pilkington gets a yellow.

18': We attack pretty constantly but only have 1 off target shot to show for it.

23': We work the ball foward, pushign it back in after a clearance, O'Sullivan plays a perfect through ball between the two DC's, Constantino breaks on it and pushes it by the keeper who is trying to rush out, but he can't get tehre and its a goal! 1-0

26': A quick run down the right side for Constantino, he puts a cross to the far end of the 6 yard box, the keeper dives out for it but can't get to it. Colin is there and heads it into the now empty net! 2-0

31': Constantino is tackled in midfield and hobbled a bit. He's not injured but slowed, we'll see how he recovers going into the second half.

45': Luton has been attacking for the last 10 minutes but has not generated a shot in that time period. They get a nice through ball into the right side of the area but we have two defenders close down really quickly and we tackle it away quickly.

HALF: We shoot 5 times, putting two into the net, the only two that were on target. Luton actually controls possession 55/45, a rarity for us, but only 2 shots and only 1 on target. Constantino will stay in for now but probably won't finish the match.

50': A very quick attack from Luton, Curtis Main is in for the second half, he receives a pass a solid 30 yards out, he turns and fires a shot immediately, its pretty much right at Lynch, but struck with such pace that Lynch just reaches his arms out and the ball blows through his hands and into the net... 2-1

57': A through ball to Harsanyi, he's there but a defender tracks to the ball with him well and his shot is blocked. We earn a corner, then a second corner, its cleared out, no luck for us.

70': We have a free kick from 30 yards out ,Smith lays it off to upson who blasts a shot, its right at the keeper, he makes a save and turns it behind, a well struck shot, corner comes to nothing.

80': Fresh attackers coming in... Kelly i nfor Colin, Subotic in for Constantino.

91': Subotic gets down the right and tries a cross, its blocked, Upson recovers it, runs out wide, passes it up to Ogogo, Ogogo is on the right corner of the penalty area and fires a shot, the keeper is slightly off his line, the shot sails over his head and barely under the bar, perefctly into the upper left corner of the goal!! 3-1

Luton 1 : 3 Woking

Luton attacked pretty hard in the second half and I was of course worried after the first goal early in the half, but we held them off and even got that third goal at the end.

Man of the Match: Ed upson (8.7)
Goals: Ogogo (8.5), Colin (7.6), Constantino (7.5)
Assists: Upson, O'Sullivan (7.4), Constantino
Notables: Vince Taylor (7.3)

Ed Upson is just killing it lately. 4 key passes, he won 6 of 7 tackles in the midfield, 14 of 15 headers. His last 3 matches have been a 9.1 with 2 goals, a 9.0 with 2 goals, and an 8.7 with an assist, all 3 man of the match winners. He seemed like the clear #2 behind Zak Middleton (instead of O'Sullivan), and now that Middleton got hurt and is gone Upson has just taken over the team for now at least.
