Droylsden(7-10-17, 20th) @ Woking (23-6-5, 1st)


We're predicted to win easy here, 2:5 favorites while Droylsden is 13:2. We really should run away with this but they gave us some problems at their place earlier in the year in a 1:1 draw.

GK: Lynch
D: Thomas/V Taylor/Smith/Ogogo
MC: Moseley/O'Sullivan
AM: Kelly/N'Guessan
FC: D Taylor/Constantino

A bunch of fatigue related changes today, Thomas in for Williams at DL, Moseley in for Upson, Kelly for Colin, Dan Taylor for Harsanyi. We attack of course.

3': We are on the attack, O'Sullivan makes a pass ahead to Constantino, he blows by his defender to get into the area, stops, fires to the far post and beats the keeper. This is Constantino's 30th goal for us! 1-0

16': We earn a corner, Kelly takes it and plays it to the feet of Vince Taylor, he controls the ball, makes a defender charging at him miss, turns, and blows a shot between the keeper and the defender on the line, goal! 2-0

21': Quick counter attack for us, Dan Taylor has it, plays it foward to Constantino and charges foward, Constantino plays it back to Dan Taylor, Taylor is in the area, he shoots, and scores!! Its Taylor's first goal for us. 3-0

27': They have a deep throwin, pass across the area, a through ball to attacker Brown, is he onsides? Uh, I am not sure... he receives the ball near the 6 yard box, Lynch dives and the guy just evades him and walks it into the net. 3-1

32': Ogogo down the right side, pass to constantino, a through ball to O'Sullivan, its tackled away from him and cleared... but there's a foul!!! Penalty and yellow card for defender Richardson! Constantino takes the free kick and buries it. 4-1

35': Kelly makes a great run down the left side and earns us a corner. He takes the corner and plays a cross to the far end of the 6 yard area, Smith is there, he goes up and wins the header, and its by the keeper!! 5-1

HALF: Well then. So we're pretty good sometimes. We're dominating everything here. Subotic in for Constantino and N'Diaye in for N'Guessan. Rest up guys.

66': Alcock in for Ogogo, we're just killing time now.

70': Even after the 'take it easy" order, Christian Smith makes a stupid sliding tackle about 30 yards from the goal, committing a foul... and hurting himself. Moron.

84': O'Sullivan gets the ball to subotic 25 yards out, he goes ot the left, then cuts right and leaves his defender in the dust, generating an open shot from about 15 yards out, he buries it! Great great individual effort, though i can't imagine the defense was trying hard at this point. 6-1

Woking 6 : 1 Droylsden

Dominance!

Man of the Match: Shane Kelly (9.0)
Goals: Constantino 2 (8.5), Smith (9.0), V. Taylor (8.5), D Taylor (8.3), Subotic (7.0)
Assists: O'Sullivan 3 (8.8), Kelly 2, Constantino

-- Christian Smith is goign to miss 9-12 days with a leg injury he picked up today going in for a stupid, stupid, stupid sliding tackle when we had a 5-1 lead in the second half.


League Stats Update

With just 11 matches to go we're 11 points ahead of 2nd and 18 points ahead of 4th. There's a chance we could clinch promotion in march with 7 or 8 to play.

Constantino still leads the pack with 31 league goals. Rushden's Sam Smith is actually proving to be a challenge for the title though with 28 league goals. 3rd place is 21.

Oxford's Oliver Norwood is crushing the league in the assists category with 22. O'Sullivan is 2nd in the league with only 13. Middleton and Upson have 11 each for us.

Constantino's 7 man of the match awards is part of a 5 way tie for 2nd in the leauge, Billy Greulich of Accrington has 8. Ed Upson has 6 and Harsanyi 5.

We have 5 of the top 10 players in average rating. Constantino is 1st at 7.65. Sam Smith of Rushden is 2nd with 7.63. Upson 3rd (7.58), Harsanyi 5th (7.40), Colin 7th (7.38), O'Sullivan 8th (7.38).


Looking through the team stats not much stands out but there is a "Games Scored in a Row" stat. We've scored in our last 18 matches. No one else is above 8.

We have 88 goals as a team, second best is 67.
