-- Marc and Constantino are named to the League 1 team of the week.

-- Stockport and Rochdale play their make up matches, both against relgation level competition, both win. Doesn't mean a lot for Stockport as they're in the playoffs, but its huge for Rochdale. They now have a 5 point lead over Wigan for the last playoff spot with 2 to play, and a 7 goal differential edge.

Colchester(13-11-20, 18th) @ Woking (24-13-7, 2nd)

We're slim 5:4 favorites today, they're 7:4. Colchester need 1 point(or help from Rotherham) to officially clinch a spot that avoids relegation, so they still have something to play for. We tied 2:2 at their place in December.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Smith/Marc/Ogogo
MC: Upson/Paulo
AM: Zatara/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/Constantino

Colchester's John Mardsen has 20 goals to lead them. No one else has more than 6. No lineup changes today. We attack.

3': Harsanyi has a crack from about 25 yards out, he hits the crossbar with a solid effort.

8': Paulo with a wild shot. I notice Leyton Orient got a 1st minute goal against Oldham.

10': First attack for Colchester today, they center it from out left, there's a ball ahead to striker Finnigan and he beats Lynch from about 15 yards out. 0-1

18': Upson ahead to Constantino, he blows right by his man and has a clear cut chance, but he can't beat the keeper, its saved and deflected away. Harsanyi is there though and puts it into the net on the rebound!!! 1-1

19': Oldham ties Leyton Orient. Remember if they don't win we clinch regardless of what we do.

27': Holy crap out of nowhere! We're passing it around looking to build up, Ogogo is way out right, he plays a ball to Subotic 20 yards away, Subotic strikes it from there with his first touch and it just rockets by the keeper, what a goal!!!! 2-1

36': We lose possession in the midfield, there's a long ball forward to their star Mardsen and he's been left alone, he just needs a couple steps to get into the area and he beats Lynch. 2-2

40': Oldham takes a 2:1 lead over Leyton Orient.

HALF: We should not be tied. We have 9 shots, 6 on target. Our offense has looked really solid. We've allowed 2 shots. Basically two defensive breakdowns to allow clear cut chances that they've finished. I'm confident we can get another goal, we just need to shore up the defense a bit.

54': Leyton Orient ties their match with Oldham 2:2.

59': Subotic receives a pass 20 yards out and tries another quick shot, this one is just over the bar.

60': Defender williams gets a yellow for a hard challenge on Subotic... Subotic goes down hurt.

73': A deflected shot gives Colchester a corner. We head the first one behidn, allowing a second. This one we clear safely away.

73': Oldham takes a 3:2 lead over Leyton Orient. I get nervous as a loss here opens the door for a reasonable scenario not to promote. We need a point here and I'd like to just get a goal and lock it up.

74': Paterson in for the injured Subotic.

81': O'Sullivan on for Upson, Zatara in for N'Guessan.

90': Long ball ahead for Zatara, he fires a shot that's saved.. they try to clear but we work it forward again, Paterson has a great look from 18 yards out, the keeper makes a reflex save, the ball rebounds to Zatara, he fires... another save!! Oh man, what a stretch, three very strong looking shots (but not the best aimed in the world) saved by their keeper.

That's it, we come away with the point we need!!!!!

Woking 2 : 2 Colchester

Man of the Match: Harsanyi (7.6)
Goals: Harsanyi, Subotic (7.3)
Assists: Constantino (6.8), Ogogo (6.9)

Harsayi and Subotic were the only ones over 7.0 today.

-- Crystal Palace didn't play today.

With 1 to go (unless otherwise noted)

1. Crystal Palace - 88 pts (2 to go)
2. Woking - 86 pts
--------------------------
3. Oldham - 83 pts
4. Gillingham - 81 pts
5. Stockport - 78 pts
6. Rochdale - 76 pts

Rochdale clinch promotion as well, bye bye Wigan.

So we lead by 3 points with one left. We have a +40 goal differential. Oldham have a +24 goal differential. So unless we lose our last match by 8 and Oldham wins by 8 or some similar combination, we are through. Though its not recognized in game yet, Woking have clinched Promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
