Rushden(19-6-12, 5th) @ Woking (26-6-5, 1st)

We're even money favorites today, Rushden 11:5. Rushden are 3 points behind Oxford for 3rd and 4 points ahead of Brighton for 8th. They need every point they can get, but we're not planning on giving any up today. 2-3-4 is our lifetime record against these guys, we crushed them 4:1 at their place in October.

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

We've got our best team out there and will attack.

7': Our best team isn't out there for long. Christian Smith goes down hurt and he has to come out immediately. Mike Williams is in.

10': Long possession for us but we can't find a shot, Constantino tries a turn but has the ball tackled away.

19': Foul by Woking at the edge of the penalty area, they shoot on their free kick, its blocked by the wall and behind for a corner, we clear the corner easily.

36': After a free kick by Upson whre he puts a shot miles wide, we've shot 4 times and all are way off target, pretty boring so far on both ends.

42': Constantino with a run parallel to the penalty area, he pases to ogogo who crosses in to O'Sullivan who heads it, just inches wide, our best shot yet.

46': They get into the area nd get a shot, Lynch saves and puts it behind for a corner, it was a really quick highlight, didn't see any buildup. We clear the corner and its halftime.

HALF: Yawn. We shoot 5 times, all 5 off target. They shoot 4 times, 2 on target. We have a huge 60/40 possesion edge, we're passing well, heading really well, but we just aren't generating anything, we need to do more with our possession.

53': We counter attack quickly after stealing a ball near midfield, constantino lays a ball back for O'sullivan and takes off, he launches a long ball, constantino races by everyone and is in the area before you can blink, he shoots... but its saved.

55': There's a cross by Nikolaou, they head it away, but its not a strong clearance, O'Sullivan picks it up just outside the area, he puts a ball into the area, N'Guessan runs onto it and buries a strong shot near post!!! 1-0

58': We have a throwin in their end, they clear it, and they fire a long ball foward to top scorer Moult, and he's on the breakaway, its a huge letdown for us and no one can catch Moult, he makes it into the penalty area and beats Lynch, a solid play for Rushden. 1-1

63': We earn a corner, Upson takes it, Vince Taylor gets a strong head to it, but its way wide.

65': There's a break for Rushden, their man Moult has it, we're there to defend but backpedaling hard, Moult passes to another scorer, gets it back... fires a hard shot, and Lynch makes a save, whew.

71': N'Diaye in for a tired N'Guessan.

78': N'Diaye out wide, he crosses into the area, Colin with a header, and it hits the crossbar.

81': An interception by Nikolaou starts a break, he gets it up to Colin, Colin plays a ball into the area and Constantino runs onto it ahead of the defense, he shoots, the keeper has no chance... but he hits the right post, and it goes wide.. . aggggh.

84': O'Sullivan to Harsanyi after we win a ball in defense, Harsanyi up to Constantino... its another break, he pulls up early and shoots and just simply shoots it wide. Constantino doesn't miss these, ugh!

86': We've really got the pressure on here, Colin with a nice run and cross that erans us a corner. Mike Williams with a header after the corner is crossed in and its way over.

88': Yellow for defender Iriekpen for Rushden.

90': After a goal kick we are on the run again, N'diaye crosses ot Harsanyi, he heads it over.

No more chances.

Woking 1 : 1 Rushden

They have a defender put up an 8.7 rating for man of the match. The last 20 minutes was an offensive show for us minuse the goals. We end up with a crazy 21 shots, about 8 or 9 in the last 20 minutes though. Only 8 of ours on target. Rushden shots 7 times but puts 5 on target, they threatened a few times on breakaways but we should hve won here.

Goal: N'Guessan (7.3)
Assist: O'Sullivan (7.8)
Notables: Ogogo (7.0), Nikolaou (7.1), V Taylor (7.2), Upson (7.3), Colin (7.4), Harsanyi (7.5)

Constnatino had a 5.4 rating today. Basically we won this game except for the fact that Constantino couldn't finish for shit. He gets a pass since he's the reason we're in 1st anyway.

-- Chrisian Smith will miss 5-7 days with the injury he picked up today.

Woking have guarenteed themselves a Coca-Cola League 2 playoff place

We could lose the rest of our matches and make the playoffs at this point.

We are 19 points ahead of 4th with 8 matches left. We could clinch at any point now with a win and a loss by key opponents. Stockporthas fallen off in 2nd as well, we're up 17 points on them.

The top league 2 season in our history is last year when Port Vale went 29-10-7 and put up 97 points. With 8 matches to go we have 85. Port Vale also scored the most goals last year with 94. We are already at 92.
