-- Nikolaou, Middleton, and Colin are all named to the league 2 team of the week.
Injury Update
Makhtar N'Diaye sprains an ankle in training. Its hurt pretty damn bad and he is going to miss 5-6 weeks... by itself that's ok, it means more playing time for Alcock at DR as Ogogo will play some AMR... but that's two bad injuries in a week's time, not good!
Injury Update #2
Seriously? Vince Taylor twists a knee in training and is out 2-3 weeks. WTF!
January 23rd, 2016
FA Cup 4th Round
Arsenal(9th, PRM) @ Woking(1st, L2)
So it is at our place, couldn't do anything about that. Its our first ever meeting. Arsenal are 1:10 favorites. We're 15:1 to win. Seems like it should be like 30:1, but ok.
GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Williams/Smith/Ogogo
MC: Upson/O'Sullivan
AM: Colin/N'Guessan
FC: Harsanyi/Constantino
Williams starts for the injured Vince Taylor. Arsenal is basically starting a backup team today, only a few players who have played more than 10 league matches are playing today. We'll defend.
6': We get the first shot, we earn a corner, they clear it but we get it back in, Constantino is able to receive a pass and find a shot, but its saved easily.
8': They cross into the area, Colin brings down the attacker and its a penalty. Ugh! They bury the penalty. 0-1
28': They're shooting a ton but mostly long and all off target. They have 8 shots so far.
37': They earn a corner, its passed low, they control it, juke by one man and a shot by one of their defenders is in. 2-0
... ok, we can't beat these guys and while its a thrill to be on the same field as them lets get back to the task at hand. Arsenal goes up 4-0 in the first half. We get a goal on a cross from Colin that N'Guessan heads in. The last 40 minutes fly by and that's the final score.
Woking 1 : 4 Arsenal
Ratings are all over the place today. Harsanyi and N'Guessan both put up 7.2's. Smith 5.7, Williams 5.1, Nikolaou 5.8, Constantino 5.5. Everyone else is in the 6-7 range.
