Wrexham (0-1-0) @ Woking (1-0-0)


We're 6:4 slim favorites at home today, they are 13:8 to win. Essentially even. Wrexham earned promotion from the BS Premier league last season. We spent 3 years there with them from 10/11 to 12/13. We are 3-1-2 against them in 6 matches. The road team has never won between us.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Smith/Fenton/Alcock
DMC: Arter
MC: Pulis/N'Diaye
AM: Harsanyi/Kenny
ST: Subotic

Thank god we rested the guys we did last game, allowing us to field at least something reasonable today.

We're attacking today. We also issue instructions at the suggestion of the coaching staff to show both of their fowards onto their weaker feet.

8': We spend about 5 minutes in their end as they earn 4 corners and a deep throwin. Somehow only one shot is attempted and we clear it out safely.

29': They're up to their 6th corner, seems every highlight is on their end... just 1 shot for each team still.

33': N'Diaye with a shot on target, the first of the game, it was a long effort that was pretty weak though.

34': Arter with a yellow, a poor tackle from behind after losing possession of the ball.

35': What just happened to our defense?! Free kick, through ball, clear cut strike, goal. Its like they were practicing a play against air. Wow. 0-1

40': Their turn to be pissed about the defense. Kenny with a cross, its cleared easily, but fall to N'Diaye, he feeds it back to Kenny, a low ball into the area... missed interception by one of their defenders, and Subotic runs onto it and easily puts it home! 1-1

46': Short corner taken by Wrexham... striker Marc Williams turns, two defenders rush him, he.. I dunno, beats them? They just run by him? And he strikes it hard, it deflects of Nikolaou guarding the goal line and in. 1-2

HALF: Disgusting half. 3 goals, all three seem like very easy goals thanks to massive mistakes by the defense. Both teams shoot 5 times, putting 2 on target. We control the possession slightly, 55/45. We're dominating most stats, better passing, crossing, tackling and heading, all of them quite decisively. Its just hideous mistakes leading to goals.

O'Sullivan is in for Pulis for the 2nd half.

47': Arter to N'Diyae to O'Sullivan, he has a good look at a shot from about 20 yards out, he blasts it of the crossbar.

58': Through ball from about 35 yards out... our defenders just are not there, they're trying to set up an offsides trap and get caught badly. Midfielder Graham runs onto it catching our defense running the wrong way, and he has a shot that even icould make. 1-3

66': This is awful. Another through ball, our defense is caught out of position, another easy easy goal. 1-4

68': Taylor is i nfor Fenton at DC.

70': Yellow for Smith for a bad tackle. Smith is in danger of seeing his rating drop under 5.

73': Subotic with a yellow.

75': Yellow for Alcock.

Well that was just awful.

Woking 1 : 4 Wrexham

Lynch 5.7. Fenton 5.9. Smith 5.3. N'Diaye 5.4. Subotic with a goal and a 6.6 rating. Kenny the assist and the best rating on the team at 6.7.

We'll just pretend this didn't happen.
