-- Ogogo is healthy and back to full training again on December 5th. Our next match is on the 10th, so he'll hopefully be in good enough shape to get some playing time there.

-- We have a match at the end of the month against Bradford rescheduled for early January due to a conflict with their next FA Cup match. Bradford are one of the two teams to beat us, so us getting a few extra days off while they play an extra match before our next meeting makes me happy.

December 10th, 2016

Bristol Rovers(8-2-10, 16th) @ Woking (10-8-2, 2nd)

Bristol Rovers have been a pretty consistent mid table team in League one for the last decade, minus one season where they fell to League 2 and immediately promoted back up. During that season we got crushed by them twice, 3:0 and 3:1. We look for some revenge today as we are even money favorites to get the win, making them 11:5 dogs.

GK: James
D: Nikolaou/Taylor/Marc/Ogogo
MC: Upson/Paulo
AM: Colin/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/constantino

Bristol Rovers are led by striker Aaron McLean who has 13 goals in 20 matches. His average rating of 6.8 seems low for someone who scores that much. Our only lineup change today is that Ogogo is starting at DR. Clearly, we'll attack.

2': Harsanyi makes a run down the left, cuts inside, passes into the right side of the area, N'Guessan is there and controls it well, his man is a bit behind him and the central defenders are slow to rotate, N'Guessan takes one step, stops, fires a shot and its by the keeper and in! 1-0

11': Paulo plays a ball foward to Harsanyi, he cuts by his man and fires a shot from the edge of the penalty area, its a really good look but the keeper makes the save...

15': They win possession and immediately start a counter attack, there's a long ball behind our defense, our defenders are slow to get back and their star McLean is the first one there, James tries to cut him off, there's a shot, by James, it hits the left post and bounces in... 1-1

24': We have a throwin pretty deep in their end, Upson throws it in to Constantino who is wide right, he crosses in, N'Guessan is the man there, he gets his head to it from about 12 yards out, it doesn't have a whole lot of power on it but it floats just over the outstretched arms of the keeper and falls in the net!! One of their defenders is blamed for missing an interception. 2-1

28': We win a corner, Upson crosses it into the 6 yard area, it deflects off a defender and seems to pinball around the area briefly, Vince Taylor gets to it and shoots, the keeper makes a reflex save and it goes behind for another corner, which they safely clear out.

36': Colin goes in for a slide tackle on a man charging towards the area on the attack, he brings him down and its a miracle no card is given. They get a free kick from just over 20 yards out, the wall blocks the shot and its a corner, we clear the corner safely.

No more shots are taken this half.

HALF: Dany N'Guessan comes out of nowhere to score his second and third goals of the season to put us ahead 2-1. They have a slim 54/46 possession edge today, we've been attacking pretty quickly whenever we get the ball it seems. We've got 9 shots, 5 on target, they have 4 shots with 2 on target. Our tackling and air dominance are solid today, we win 84% of our tackles and 70% of our headers, compared to 60 and 45% for them respectively.

47': We set up our offense after ogogo wins an interception, and here's one of those classic poacher's goals, Paulo with a through ball, Constantino just outruns his man to get to it first, he's only about 7 or 8 yards out and he simply isn't going to miss from there. 3-1

53': We quickly counter after an attack for Bristol Rovers fails, Colin rushes down the left sideline and puts a cross into the 6 yard box, N'Guessan is there, this ought to be a hat trick... its by far his easiest look of the day, but his header is directed right at the keeper who can't help but save it.

72': After a couple highlights that don't lead to much Harsanyi has a shot saved and earns us a corner, they clear it out... figured i needed to type something after a whole lot of nothing for 20 minutes.

76': midfielder Straford with a yellow for a tackle on Colin

78': Paterson in for Harsanyi, Alcock in for Ogogo, O'Sullivan in for Paulo, its my dreaded "oh no now watch someone get hurt and they come back" set of subs late with the lead.

85': O'Sullivan plays a great long ball down the left sideline that triggers a bit of a break for us, Colin runs on to it, puts a cross in, N'guessan is there with the header... just over.

88': O'sullivan feeds Paterson, Paterson is about 20 yards out, he turns by his man and gets a pretty good shot off, the keeper makes the save, but acn't hold it, there's a rebound, N'Guessan is there and puts it in the open net before the keeper can recover, there's the hat trick!!! 4-1

Woking 4 : 1 Bristol Rovers

Man of the Match: Dany N'Guessan (9.6)
Goals: N'Guessan 3, Constantino (8.1)
Assists: Constantino, Harsanyi (8.7), Paulo (7.9), Paterson (6.9)
Notables: Ogogo (7.0), Nikolaou (7.2), Marc (7.2), Taylor (7.3), Upson (7.5), Colin (7.1)

James is the only starter not to put up a 7.0 rating or better, and he gives us a 6.9 today, his best match so far.

Prior to this match Dany N'Guessan had 7 goals in 51 matches in his Woking career so far, he gives us 3 more today!!

-- The fans are delighted, and there's even more to be excited about as we look at the news on gameday after the match... Kevin Lynch has resumed full training! We don't play again for a week and Lynch will certainly be back in goal.

-- Wigan beats Crystal Palace and we find ourselves all of a sudden only 4 points out of first place. We're 9 points clear of the first team out of the playoffs, but there is so much of the season left its silly to start seriously looking ahead just quite yet, we'll just enjoy how well we're playing right now and check back in 10 matches down the road maybe.
