Crewe @ Woking


Crewe are slim 6:4 favorites at our place today. We're 13:8. Last year we beat these guys at home and tied at their house. Crewe ended up 7th in the league last year, earning a playoff spot.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Williams/Smith/Ogogo
DMC: Taylor
MC: Upson/O'Sullivan
AM: Collins/Kenny
ST: Subotic

5': New AML Joe Collins is weakened, but not hurt, when he goes down hard going for a header.

13': Defender O'Donnell with a yellow for Crewe.

33': 4 total shots combined, all off target so far. Their right midfielder Kyle Bennet has given us fits today.

35': Bennett with a cross, one foward with a header that isn't a shot, or if it is it was terrible... their other forward Zola is there and he heads it past lynch for the first goal of the season. 0-1

38': We will attack more to try to take the pressure off the defense, they have 6 shots to our 1 now.

42': We earn a corner, its taken short from Upson to Christian Smith. He beats a man and blasts it, the keeper dives but its perfect, goal! his first ever Woking goal. 1-1

44': We clear the ball long out of our end. Their keeper runs waaaay out for it, 30 yards or more, his first touch is terrible and teh ball shoots forward 10 yards. Subotic is there. He retrieves the ball, sidesteps the keeper charging forward to try to make up for his error, and fires it from 40 yards out at the empty net. He puts it on target, GOAL!!! 2-1

HALF: A crazy second goal gives us a 2-1 lead at the half! Kenny has a low rating, everyone else is looking solid and consistent. We only manage 3 shots, 2 on target, both goals. Crewe shoots 6 times, 5 are off target. Possession is even, we have just taken advantage of our few shots. We will continue to attack to start the second half.

58': Taylor with a nice ball forward to O'Sullivan, he is able to run into the area and shoot, its a tough shot from a tough angle though, saved.

60': Crewe earn a deep throwin, then a corner, then another corner after we try to clear but they send it back in... then finally a legit clearance. We try to counter attack with a long ball to Collins but they stop us, they dont' manage any shots out of the effort.

69': Long free kick for Crewe. a shot is off the wall and out wide right, hey recover it and cross it in, they get a head to it, Lynch saves/deflects it, its off O'Sullivan and falls to rest in front of the net, their striker Zola gets to it first and scores easily. 2-2

69': Harsanyi in for collins, Adcock in for Ogogo.

83': N'Diaye in for O'Sullivan

86': Harsanyi with a cross into the area, Kenny is there but heads it just over.

90': How did that happen!? Upson with a header to Subotic, Subotic is 25 yards out... he beats one man and has a free run at the net. They don't close down fast enough, Subotic into the area and a very powerful strike is buried past the keeper!! 3-2

We have to stave off one last minute attack and do so, picking up the win!

Woking 3 : 2 Crewe

Subotic scores two goals, earning an 8.8 rating and man of the match. Christian Smith a 7.6 and the other goal. Two assists come from Ed Upson, 7.4 rating from him. Our 3rd goal was unassisted. Lynch puts up a 7.0, everyone else in the high 6's.


Good start to the season!
