Woking(6-4-2, 3rd) @ Bournemouth(2-6-4, 21st)


Bournemouth are struggling quite a bit but still are the favorites at their place today, they're 5:4 compared to our 7:4. This was the team we played twice last year to get through the 3rd round of the FA Cup. We tied at home and then won a replay at their place.

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

Christian Smith gets his first start of the season as we bench a very frustrating James Chester. Standard mindset today.

2': They earn an early corner, its taken low to the near man, Upson tackles it away, the corner taker is there, crosses it back into the area, and a header is put by Lynch for a very ealry goal. 0-1

17': Our first shot, Constantino with a long run, he comes out wide, passes ot Upson who puts a shot from 20 yards out miles over.

21': Nikolaou gets a yellow.

35': We get a couple crappy long shots that aren't close, that's all we have right now.

36': Marc with a yellow for a tackle near the midfield.

HALF: This just isn't good. We give up the early goal and its very dull after that. We haven't put together anything useful at all. Bournemouth have 9 shots, just 2 on target, most weren't shown and were just wildly off target. We're really playing like crap and I guess I will turn on the attack to see if we can sneak a Constantino goal in there.

51': Colin makes a great run down the left, he finds a little extra gear to get by his man to play in a clean cross, N'Guessan is there, heads it... right at the keeper. Its considered a clear cut chance but it was a pretty tough angle.

57': Colin with another cross in, N'Guessan heads it again, this one is challenged and much tougher, the keeper ends up barely getting a finger to it, then it hits the crossbar, goes straight up, and the keeper grabs it.

60': Constantino receives a pass about 40 yards out. He begins a run, turns out wide right, goes by a man, goes ot the end line, goes by a second man, cuts inside towards the area, beats a 3rd man, walks into the 6 yard box and beats the keeper near post for a goal! If this gets an assist credit it'll be Harsanyi. Brilliant individual effort. 1-1

72': Alcock in for a tired Ogogo, Ferry in for a really tired O'Sullivan.

85': Each team has had one attacking highlight where lots of threatening looking things happened without a shot occuring.

88': We give up a corner as they get a man wide right ot make a long run and we have to tackle it behind. Marc gets to the cross in and heads it out. We try to counter, Harsanyi makes a run down the left but his cross is poor and easily cleared.

91': Ferry plays a ball into the area from 35 yards out... Colin runs onto it, and if his first touch was good he walks it into the net... but it wasn't, he ends up having to pull the ball wide instead of taking a point blank shot, and we can't do anything. That's a huge huge chance missed.

Bournemouth 1 : 1 Woking

We played much better on the attack in the second half, but in the end it took a brilliant individual play by Constantino to tie this thing up and we couldn't get a winning goal. Its a road match, I'll take a tie for sure.

They have a defender earn man of the match.

Goal: Constantino (8.3)
Assist: Harsanyi (7.2)
Notables: Marc (7.0), O'Sullivan (7.1), N'Guessan (7.0), Colin (7.1)


Simon Ferry was hurt towards the end of the match and is going to miss about a week.
