Bristol Rovers(11-7-3, 4th) @ Woking(10-3-8, 9th)


Bristol Rovers are 4:6 favorites at our place, we're 7:2 to win. Nice to have a home game but this is against the favorite in the leauge, and unlike the other teams that got relegated into League 2 last year, they are actually playing well and looking like they could make it back up, they're currently 1 point out of an auto-promote spot and 3 points out of first. This is our first match ever against them.

Aaron McLean is a name to look for today, he's got 11 goals in 21 league matches so far for Bristol.

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

5': We calmly work the ball around in our own end before finding a lane forward, Collins ends up making a great run down the left side before crossing into the area, first shot of the game is a header by Harsanyi, its over though.

8': They clear a ball back to their defenders hanging out at midfield... Harsanyi times a tackle perfectly, pokes the ball away from the defender and makes a break for it. He's got no one between him and the keeper... keeper starts to come out, Harsanyi forward... he lines up his shot, obviously a clear cut chance... but he shoots it right at the keeper.

11': Harsanyi into the area, he evades a defender, its tackled away, he goes down... and its a dive by Harsanyi, yellow for him. We dominate everything so far today, 6 shots to none.

12': A counter attack from Bristol rovers... a centering ball, midfielder has it 20 yards out, he shoots, and beats Lynch with a shot put nicely into the left side of the net. Ouch! Their first shot of the match. 0-1

18': An attack by Bristol Rovers, some very neat passing in our defensive end, striker O'Donovon jukes by Williams, and sets himself up with a close range shot that he buries. Ugh. 0-2

21': Williams with a yellow for a tackle in the midfield.

28': We control possession in their end, can't generate a good shot though, Cooper recovers the ball after a clearance, passes to Taylor, up to Harsanyi, he turns and fires from 30 yards out, and its a great strike, but it just hits the left post and ricochets back into play, they clear it.

34': Long pass up ahead on a counterattack by Bristol Rovers, their star MacLean gets the ball ahead of the defense, blasts a shot from just outside the penalty area, and beats Lynch. 0-3

HALF: They're killing us, Maybe Lynch wasn't quite ready to go today, or maybe this is just a much better team owning us. they only take 5 shots, 4 of them from long range, but they lead 3-0. Lets just get out of here ASAP and move on imo.

No goals in the second half, nothing major enough to make me not rush it to conclusion.

Woking 0 : 3 Bristol Rovers

We can't allow crap like this to happen at home.

Harsanyi 5.8, Cooper 5.2, Lynch 6.2 today. Ed Upson randomly plays way better than everyone else on the team earning a 7.2 rating.
