League Cup Round 1

Woking @ Swindon


Swindon are a level above us and are expected to win big at their place today, 2:5 favorites to our 13:2 chances. We actually drew these guys at home last year in the Johnstone Paint Trophy. They beat us 2-0.

GK: Lynch
D: Thomas/Williams/V Taylor/Alcock
MC: Upson/Ferry
AM: Colin/N'Diaye
FC: D. Taylor/Harsanyi

We're coming as close to giving up as we possibly could today, replacing every starter that's reasonable ot make sure we're as rested as possible for the rough early season league grind. I just don't feel like throwing all our energy into such a difficult match to win.

We're clearly trying to defend today.

2': WOW. We start with the ball, pass it arond a bit, and our first pass goes foward to HArsanyi... they tackle it away, there's a long pass down the left side, and the counter is on. Its a quick run down the left side, a cross, and a devastating powerful header into the net. 0-1

9': A steal in the midfield, a pass ahead, a great individual effort to make Williams look bad and Lynch is beaten badly... 0-2

34': Ther's a free kick by Swindon about 40 yards out to the far right side of the field, Vince Taylor is given the blame for missing a header, they get an attacker to the ball to head it in. 0-3

42': Williams is beaten by a good individual effort, Swindon gets their 3rd clear cut chance and 4th goal. 0-4

44': Ferry has the ball in the midfield and launches a long ball towards the other end... Harsanyi is still playing hard, he runs onto the ball, gets to it first and strikes it near post past the keeper, we get on the board. 1-4

HALF: Lets just get past this.

67': We get a decent look as Colin takes a through ball on the left side but a defender gets to him and clears it before he can shoot.

67': Arter is in for a tiring Upson.

A couple highlights but no goals. Lets get out of here and pretend this didn't happen.


Swindon 4 : 1 Woking

Ferry plays a strong game in the midfield and actually earns a 7.9 rating, very imprssive. Subotic 7.0. Alcock 5.0, Thomas 5.6, N'Diaye 6.0. We're just outclassed here. I'm maybe a little worried that a Laegue 1 team dominated us this badly, this is just one level up!
