-- Constantino is named to the league 2 team of the week

October 10th, 2015

Woking(8-3-1, 1st) @ Tranmere(3-5-4, 13th)

I didn't talk about it much last year b/c I never really saw a news item on it... but last year Tranmere would have been a playoff team but had 10 points deducted as penalty for some sin they committed. I still don't know what tbh. Tranmere are small 6:4 favorites, we're 13:8. We're 1-1-2 against these guys. We lost to them both times last year.

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Smith/V Taylor/Alcock
MC: Ferry/Middleton
AM: Colin/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/Constantino

Alcock in for the hurt Ogogo. O'Sulivan is still injured, and our new surprise loaner AML Kelly is away on international duty so he's not available today. Standard mindset on the road today.

4': They get the first attack but we clear it and Constantino is off to the races. He gets al lthe way down the right side of the pitch, places a solid pass in to Harsanyi, its a clear cut chance from Harsanyi... but right at the keeper, saved.

5': We get a couple shots to get the ball into the penalty area cleared out but we keep pushing. Middleton has it 30 yards out and puts a through ball into the right side of the area. Constantino breaks onto it, shoots from just outside the 6 yard box and blasts it past the keeper!! 1-0

11': After Smith makes a nice interception to clear out one threatening pass, Tranmere get the ball back and place a nice through ball into the area, the defense slips completely and they get a shot from about 8 yards out ... its taken... and somehow put severely wide. Major, major choke by our defense, but an even bigger choke by their striker.

26': Another through ball for Tranmere, Smith is there and makes a nice sliding tackle to poke it away. Unfortunately it falls right on the foot of their left midfielder Wood coming in, and he gets an easy shot that he buries. 1-1

31': There's a through bal into the area for Tranmere, Lynch comes out to fall on it... and doesn't secure the ball... it squirts away and a Tranmere attacker is first on the scene, passing the ball into the empty net. Huge, huge mistake by Lynch. 1-2

39': Constantino is trying to time a run behind their line for a through ball... in an effort to mark him Tranmere seems to leave a gaping hole open for Harsanyi, he dribbles to an open spot just inside the penalty box and blasts a shot, but its saved.

HALF: We give up two frustrating goals. Nikolaou is sporting a 5.4 rating and Lynch a 5.8 rating at the half. Each team has only 4 shots, we just have a couple big mistakes and they've capitalized. in fact they should have 3 goals as they blew a 3rd easy, easy chance.

57': A counter attack by Tranmere sees a man make a long, long run down the right side, our defense struggles to get bak, there's a low cross into the area and they get an attacker first to the ball and its put into the net. Nikolaou's rating is now 5.0 after getting burned on that run before the cross came in. 1-3

60': Colin gets down the left sdieline and plays a cross in... Harsanyi gets his head to it, its his 3rd clear cut strike of the match... and he's missed all 3. Sigh!

70': Vince Taylor with a yellow card. Upson is on for Middleton, Mike Williams in for Nikolaou.

73': constantino and Harsanyi play a give and go, with Harsanyi receiving a pass just outside the area with tons of space to operate... but his first touch is terrible and he gives away possession.

82': Subotic in for Harsanyi, though its surely too late.

92': They get a 4th goal just to pile on, another through ball that we defend horribly and Lynch is powerless to stop it. Just an awful, awful effort from the defense today.

Tranmere 4 : 1 Woking

Goals: Constantino (6.5)
Assists: Middleton (6.9)

Awful Play: Lynch (4.9), Nikolaou (5.0), Ferry (5.9), Colin (5.8).

Harsanyi put up a 6.8 rating today, he had 3 shots and they were all on target. The thing is... all 3 were considered clear cut strikes and Harsanyi just doesn't usually struggle to put away his best chances like that. Extremely, extremely frustrating.
