I notice two things in the schedule. One, we play on 3 days rest and will have to start shuffling players around again. Two, 5 of our next 6 matches are on the road.

November 25th, 2014

Woking (10-2-6, 9th) @ Accrington (4-8-6, 16th)


Despite being relegation favorites, Accrington are pick'em favorites at home today. They haven't lost in 7 matches straight now. We haven't played these guys in awhile now, but we do have long history with them. We're 3-1-2 against them from our BS Premier days.

GK: Martin
D: Thomas/Cooper/Williams/Alcock
DMC: Hedley
MC: Upson/Pulis
AM: N'Diaye/Downes
ST: Subotic

Tons of subs today since we're on short rest.

14': Upson with a free kick from 25 yards out, its just wide.

19': They get a free kick from 25 yards out, Martin dives and pushes it behind for a corner. The corner we head it out but they head it right back in... Martin goes up to secure the header and misses somehow... they poke it in. Martin is blamed for the goal, he basically was there and osmehow allowed them to get a shot off from poitn blank range instead of aggressively going to get the ball. 0-1

31': Long ball foward to their right midfielder... Thomas misses a tackle and he runs into the area, he takes a shot from a tough angle and bends it wide.

HALF: No highlights in the last 10 minutes. We start out strong, controling much of the first 15 minutes, but we take just the one off target shot. That's our only shot of the half. Accrington takes 7 shots, putting 3 on target.

55': We change to an attacking mindset, anything to get more men foward and to try to do something here.

58': We lose the ball in midfield, they get a break down the left side, a very nice low cross is played by our defenders and their striker runs onto it and puts it in. 0-2

62': Collins in for N'Diaye, O'Sullivan in for Pulis.

73': Bell-Baggie in for Subotic, who just got caught offsides out of what appears to be laziness and disinterest. Get off the field.

92': From bad to worse, Thomas is hurt.

Accrington 2 : 0 Woking

Martin 5.7, Thomas 5.9, Williams 5.4, Pulis 5.9. Just terrible today. We shot twice. Ouronly shot in the second half was a wild effort from Pulis from 20+ yards out. Just an unbelievably terrible job today.


Injury Update

Could be worse. DLC Aswad Thomas is out 1 1/2 - 2 weeks with the injury he picked up in the closing moments today.
