Woking (19-11-6, 3rd) @ Shrewsbury(15-3-18, 12th)

They are 5:4 favorites today, we're at 7:4 to get a win. We beat them 2:1 at Kingfield Stadium back in October. Shrewsbury's record is pretty odd, just 3 draws all season!

GK: Lynch
D: Nikolaou/Taylor/Marc/Ogogo
MC: Paulo/Cook
AM: Harsanyi/N'Guessan
FC: Subotic/Constantino

Shrewsbury are led by dual threat of Joel Thomas(11 goals) and Andre Grey (10 goals). 6 days off helped us a ton. Marc can start today, and we're basically full strength outside of Colin's injury. Marc is tired but I'll take that over Chester. Standard mindset on the road today.

20': Their striker Thomas gets a yellow for a dive. we've seen a couple shots so far but nothing really threatening.

28': Subotic takes a pass about 20 yards out after a throwin, it looks like he's trying to find a through ball, but there isn't anything available so he keeps dribbling, eventually putting a nice move on a defender to get his own shot that's turned back for a corner, which of course we can't do anything with.

35': Cook finds Constantino who makes a great move to get by his man and generate an open look, its a clear cut chance from about 18 yards out... but right at the keeper.

41': We give up a corner after blocking a shot... first corner is headed behind for a second... that one is headed behind for a 3rd... the 3rd one is cleared out after a lengthy battle in the air, we head it out, they head it back in, finally we get a clearance.

43': They win possession back in the midfield and send it forward, there's a slip by a defender somewhere and one of their forwards is set up for a wide open look on lynch, their first clear cut chance... and Lynch makes an incredible save.

45': Constantino has it again 20 yards out after a simple pass to him, he turns by his man and gets our 3rd clear cut chance of the match... his shot is better placed than the last one, but the keeper is able to dive and save it.

HALF: A scoreless half, early on Shrewsbury dominated the highlights but wasn't shooting much. Each team got a couple breaks and wide open looks, we actually got 3... and no one has a goal yet. Both teams have 6 shots, we have 4 on target to their 2. We're not tackling very well at all while they are at 88%, otherwise things are basically even across the board. We just need to get a finish here.

46': We give up a corner right away, they march down the field and we block a shot. The corner is taken into the 6 yard box, there's a header... and lynch is out of position and the header is in the net. 0-1

52': defender Williams with a yellow tackling Cook just outside the area. We have a free kick from 20 yards out. Taylor takes it but the wall blocks it and they clear.

60': Ogogo with a yellow for a tackle in midfield. We are going to attack.

64': Zatara in for Subotic, Zatara AML, Harsanyi up to forward.

73': yellow for midfielder McDonald tackling Cook.

76': Ogogo has the ball taken away after a poorly played ball out by Lynch, it triggers a quick attack for them, a run down the left side, a cross to the far end of the 6 yard box and Lynch is waaaay out of position. They've got a man alone with a header about 5 feet from the net and he somehow puts it wide, keeping us barely in the match.

83': Alcock in for N'Guessan, Ogogo up to AMR.

85': We've gotten our shots this half but they are just so far off target I haven't bothered... Constantino is about to put up a 5.5 if there isn't some late game magic, just poor chances everywhere.

87': A long ball from Cook to Constantino, he's got a man on him but he once again beats him and gets into the area and generates a clear cut chance... but its just softly taken and sent right to the keeper. Just a poor, poor day for our star.

90': We get a free kick from 25 yards out, but nothin...

93': Its probably our last chance, and Constantino takes a pass 25 yards out and sends it immediately to Zatara... not exactly who I want trying to create last second magic. He does beat his man though, pulling up from 20 yards out... and its an incredible low line drive of a shot that's under the keeper and barely in the right side of the net!!!! The last guy I'd expect to create something on his own scores a great goal! 1-1

Shrewsbury 1 : 1 Woking

As time is called... "Constantino will feel like he could have won that for Woking" .. no shit, understatement of the year.

One of their defenders is man of the match.

Goal: Zatara (7.3)
Assists: Constantino (6.4)
Notables: Nikolaou (7.0), Marc (7.0), Cook (7.0)

Ogogo a 5.9 today, he struggled a lot, and he lost the ball that led to their goal, though really I blame Lynch for putting him in a tough spot unnecessarily, but Ogogo is the one who took the hit for it.

-- Crystal Palace didn't play today for some reason, while Gillingham got a tie against playoff contender Leyton Orient. We remain 3rd, tied in points but goal differential.
