Injury Update

-- Bad news in training on back to back days. AMR Kenny plays in a U19 match for Ireland and suffers a bruised rib. He's going to be slowed for a week. Nikolaou collides with DR Alcock in practice and bruises his shin and will be out 3-8 days. Luckily its a slow month for us so that should just be one match.

October 11th, 2014

Bury(5-4-3, 9th) @ Woking(6-1-5, 11th)


Bury are very heavy 4:6 favorites at our house today. We tied both times we played last year, 0-0 and 2-2. Last year Burty finished 14th, just 3 points ahead of us.

GK: Lynch
D: Williams/Smith/Cooper/Ogogo
DMC: Taylor
MC: Upson/O'Sullivan
AM: Collins/Bell-Baggie
ST: Harsanyi

All changes today are due to injury. We currently have 5 players injured (Nikolaou/Herd/Downes/Kenny/Cousins) and backup GK out on international duty. At the recommendation of our coaches we will go in hard tackling MR Danny Green and ST Nathanial Medez-Laing. We'll try to attack hard today.

6': We allow 3 corner kicks, and the third one is a short corner to a guy named Smith who immediately puts it near post between Lynch and our man guarding the post. Sigh. 0-1

22': Not another highlight until we see Bell-Baggie run through the defense to get into the area, earn a corner, which we do nothing with.

24': Collins controls a loose ball in the attacking end, passes over to the right side, O'Sullivan makes a run and puts in a solid cross, we earn a clear cut strike as Collis makes a great leap andgets a solid head on the ball, it hits the crossbar and goes over, so close!

32': We work the ball foward, build up our offense, Ogogo with a cross, Collins heads it... off the crossbar again! Gah!

38': Taylor plays a beautiful long ball from the midfield line, Collins receives it in the penalty area, his first touch is terrible and the ball squirts 5 yards away, somehow the defense cannot clear, Collins chases it down and fires it into the net!!! His first Woking goal, he's put himself in great spots today and I'm glad he got that goal. 1-1

HALF: We recover to tie it up after allowing the early goal. We only allow 3 shots, 2 on target. We take 7 shots, only putting 2 on target, but finally got our goal. Dominant in the air so far today, 75% of our headers won, 40% of theirs won. Our new DC Cooper is the only player struggling at all, 6.5, which is fine, but its the lowest on the team.

49': Smith gets a yellow for us for a tackle in the midfield.

53': We win the ball nicely in the midfield, O'Sullivan is 45 yards out and plays a strong low pass foward that Collins runs on to perfectly, he takes his 4th shot, our second clear cut chance of the match, but blasts it right at the keeper, doh!

55': O'Sullivan a ball to Harsanyi who is open, but he cuts the wrong way. We don't let them clear it out, Ogogo recovers and plays it to Harsanyi who is 20 yards out. HArsanyi turns, sees 3 defenders in front of him, strikes it hard, and its by the keeper!!! Great shot! 2-1

61': Harsanyi scores a goal after a great O'Sullivan pass but he was 3 or 4 yards offsides, waaaay offsides heh.

78': There's a run down the left side, a cross and a header... its not headed hard, but its placed very well towards the left side of the net... Lynch dives and grabs the ball, good save.

80': Ogogo with a yellow for a tackle deep in their end. We clear out the free kick nicely.

83': Thomas in for Williams at DL, N'Diaye in for Bell-Baggie. Both fatigue related.

85': We earn a corner, Upson takes it short to Cooper who fires a low shot, the keeper deflects it away, nice shot though. We earn a second corner, its cleared out. We move it back foward, Harsanyi takes another shot from 20 yards out, the same spot he scored his first goal, its struck very well and barely saved.

93': Taylor goes down hurt, we have been kickign the ball around wasting time for a few minutes, stalling and hoping the ref blows the final whistle soon. Taylor makes a cross foward and just falls over. He's listed as injured and we'll see after the match.

Woking 2 : 1 Bury

Good win! We allow 3 shots in the 2nd half, they end up putting 4 of their 6 on target. We take 11 shots, putting 6 on target. DMC Vince Taylor has a great game today with an assist, an 8.2 rating and man of the match. Goals from Collins (7.8) and Harsanyi (7.6). Assist from Ogogo (7.9). Cooper ends up with a 7.1 rating, and O'Sullivan a 7.0. I'm happy to see Cooper end strong. He made 5 tackles, 9 iterceptions and won 11 of the 12 headers he went for.


Injury Update

I was afraid of this, Taylor is going to miss 3-4 weeks with the pulled hamstring he picked up today.


We move back up to 5th in the standings.
