FA Cup 1st Round

Woking @ York


We have not done well historically against these guys. 0-1-3 in two seasons in the BS Premier league. York is in the BS Premier now but is still favored over us today at their house. Lets see if there's some way to play the "no one respects us" card here.

We make a couple changes to make sure we get our best out there for a match 5 days later:

GK: Lynch
DEF: Nikolaou/Williams/Smith/Ogogo
MC: O'Sullivan/Pulis
AM: Jesus/Ademola
ST: Subotic/Pablo

3': They get into our penalty arae, we clear it out and are off. Subotic runs by a defender around midfield and works the ball back and forth with Pablo, they get forward in a 2 on 2 situation and Pablo ends up with a shot from inside the area. Its not a clear cut chance but its a really strong, well taken strike and that's it, he puts it by the keeper! 1-0

38': Well 35 minutes have gone by. They have 5 off target shots, we have only taken 2 other shots and they weren't serious threats at all.

HALF: I'm glad we got out to the early lead but wow that was a boring half. We dominate possession 60/40, York takes 5 shots, all off target, 3 of them from long range. We take 4 shots, 2 on target, the one goal of course.

I feel good but would like another goal.

48': Speed kills. They cross the ball into the penalty area, Mike Wiliams with a long clearance, teh ball ends up past midfield near the left sideline... Subotic is simply faster than the defense. He gets to the ball first, sprints right by his man, as the second defender tries to come cover, cuts inside and gets into the area and fires a low shot to the near post that the keeper has no shot at. 2-0

62': Clapham in for Jesus, Herd in for O'Sullivan, Fenton in for Smith, we're just resting guys I want ready for the next match at this point.


We finish things off easily from there.

York 0 : 2 Woking

York manage 12 total shots but only put one on target. Both our goals really showed that we had these guys outclassed.

Subotic is man of the match, 8.3 rating, 1 goal/1 assist.

Pablo with yet another goal, 7.0 rating. The other assist to Mike Williams who put up a 6.8.

Elsewhere: Nikolaou had a great 7.8 rating, 7 tackles in 8 attempts, 10/11 in the air and lots of passes keeping the ball forward.
