FA Cup First Round Draw

We're gonna go on the road to play BS Premier side York on November 9th.

November Notes

--Stelios Nikolaou has trained well over the last month, always a good thing

-- Pablo is second in the mention for October Young Player of the Month

-- The board is delighted with the leadership qualities I am demonstrating. Our position in League 2 is a highlight. The loaning in of Steve Clapham is a disappointment. He backs up Jesus who is playing great, and has only done average himself when he has gotten the chance.


November 2nd, 2013

Woking(6-4-4, 9th) @ Grimsby(5-3-6, 13th)


We are 7:4 dogs today, Grimsby is 5:4 to come out with a win, we've never met before.

GK: Lynch
DEF: Nikolaou/Williams/Smith/Ogogo
MC: Ball/O'Sullivan
AM: Jesus/Downes
ST: Harsanyi/Pablo

6': They get two early shots on target, then during some normal buildup 33 year old midfielder Matt Spring launches a shot from 30 yards out, it catches us totally by surprise and rockets by Lynch. 0-1

13': They work the ball forward to striker Tom Corner... he goes right by Williams as Williams misses a tackle and strikes it near post from just inside the 18 yard line. UGggh. 0-2

31': We win a corner, Downs with an in-swinging corner near post, Williams runs onto it pefectly and gets his head to it, guiding it by their keeper, beautiful. 1-2

35': A nice move ends poorly, Downes works it nicely down the right sideline, gets it to Pablo who finds Harsanyi with some space, but Harsanyi puts it weakly right at the keeper.

36': Another run forward, here Pablo does it himself after receiving a pass, he shows two great moves to get by a defender, earns himself a clear cut chance about 15 yards out, its a powerful strike... but the keeper parries it.

41': Our 3rd clear cut chance of the match, Jesus cuts inside and receives a pass in the penalty area from Harsanyi, he turns and shoots, the keeper is out of position if he can get any sort of aim on this one at all... no, its wide left.


HALF: We recover some after a horrible start.We allow 9 shots but generate 8 of our own, we have 3 clear cut chances but just one goal. Pablo really should have scored on his. Christian Smith has a 5.5 so far, he's off to a rough start. I tell the guys I want to see more out of them and get them back out there.

55': Clear cut strike #4, Downes with a beautiful through ball to a wide freaking open Harsanyi maybe 12 yards out? He fires it off the right post.

63': Pulis in for Ball who is hurt a bit. Subotic in for Harsanyi who can't find the net.

71': A through ball from the midfield to Tom Corner, he's behind the central defenders but someone out left was too deep from tracking back on a deep run, he receives the ball in point blank range and finishes. 1-3


We turn on the attack and see a couple of crosses attempted shown in the extended higlights but nothing more.


Grimsby 3 : 1 Woking


O'Sullivan and Smith with 5.9 ratings today. Williams has our goal and a 6.8, Downes our assist and a 6.7. Just a poor overall performance, we missed a lot of easy shots and allowed them just as many, they finished them.


That's two very poor road performances against mid-table teams in a row.
