-- We draw League 1 side Swindon at home in the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. This match will be September 2nd

August 19th, 2014

Woking (1-0-1) @ Northampton(1-1-0)

Northampton are favored at home, not surprising at all. They're big favorites though, 4:5 vs our 3:1 to win. We're 1-1-0 lifetime against them, winning at home last year, tying on the road. Northampton was 12th in league 2 last year, a little ways above us.

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

We start the best lineup we can today, a few guys will end up pretty damn tired, Nikolaou and Kenny mainly are very likely to not finish the match. We will of course defend here.

15': They're playing a lot of long balls and have earned two threatening looking shots that way, but Lynch has been there for the saves. We have had a few crosses put in by Collins, Kenny has a couple headers but both over.

23': Oh holy shit. Collins with a beautiful long cross up ahead to Kenny, eh's way behind the defense... he runs into the penalty area, the one defender back charges him, he places a pass right to Subotic who is unmarked 10 yards out with the keeper at the other end of the net preparing for a Kenny shot... Subotic drills it into the open net. That was just beautiful. We caught their defense out of position, one man on the left side was way too far back allowing Kennty to just sprint away from the defense on the right side, Collins saw the pass and made it perfectly, and Kenny and Subotic ran the 2v1 perfectly. 1-0

There was only one highlight in the final 22 minutes of the half, a long shot by Northampton that went way over.

HALF: Northampton has 7 shots, just 2 on target. 5 long shots that weren't even close. We have 5 shots, 2 on target. One was a header by Kenny, the other was the goal by Subotic. They have a 55/45 possession edge. We are having a lot of luck wtih our crosses, they haven't completed one yet. We also are winning 76% of our headers. They are winning 29% of theirs.

53': Through ball by Northampton... i'm stunned the guy wasn't offsides. He runs onto it and shoots, I'm stunned its not considered a clear cut strike, looked like a straight up shot against Lynch from about 10 yards out. Lynch makes a good save.

59': Midfielder Murtagh with a yellow for a tackle on O'Sullivan. That's the 3rd foul i've seen on him in highlights alone.

76': Harsanyi in for Subotic, N'Diaye in for Kenny.

78': A bit of pressure from Northampton. They earn a couple corners, one leads ot a diving header that's deflected away. A long shot is then saved by Lynch.

84': Yellow for Taylor for a tackle in the midfield

86': Yellow for Northampton's tierny for holding N'Diaye's jersey.

87': Smith makes a huge tackle as they get the ball to a man in the left side of the penalty area with a little space. Smith closes down fast and disrupts the attacker.

In the final minute Northampton puts two crosses in, one we turn behind for a corner, the other we clear out. That is it!

Northampton 0 : 1 Woking

Vince Taylor at DMC is man of the match with a 7.4 rating. He had 11 tackles and 6 headers, 3 key ones. Very solid performance! Subotic with the goal and a 7.2 rating. Assist to Kenny (6.9). Ogogo put up a 7.2 rating, Nikolaou 7.0, Upson 7.0.

This is a really, really solid road win, I'm very pleased with this. In our first 3 league matches we've scored 5 goals. 4 of them have come from Subotic. He is really playing great.
