Maidenhead (5-8-25, 24th) @ Woking (23-8-7, 1st)


We are huge 2:5 favorites today. We are 4-3-0 lifetime against them. We destroyed them 5:0 at their house in October.

Anane and Nikolaou aren't ready just yet.

GK: Lynch
DEF: Miquel/Fenton/Thomas/Pulis
MC: Sloma/Arter
AM: Bennett/Ademola
ST: Subotic/Harsanyi

8': Their left midfielder burns right by Miquel in embarrassing fashion, letting him tear down the left sideline and place a perfect cross into the area, striker Dimitrov heads it in, it hits the bottom fo the crossbar and into the net. 0-1

17': sloma plays a ball into the area that Harsanyi gets to first, its our first clear cut chance on the day but he doesn't quite place it well enogh and the keeper is able to make the save.

21': Maidenhead take their second shot, another cross in from the right and a header... Lynch gets his hands to it just enough to punch it away.

30': Harsanyi plays a ball out to the right to Ademola, he lifts up a soft cross into the area, Subotic gets his head on it but its barely wide.

40': Miquel foward to Bennett, he crosses it in, Ademola is in the 6 yard box and heads it down and into the net! 1-1

HALF: We control possession for most of the half, take 10 shots, putting 5 on target compared to just 2 shots/1 on target for Maidenhead... but we'er even in goals. We need to pull away in this second half, we are way better than this.

52': Hey look, Harsanyi plays a great ball to Bennett who runs with it instead of shooting and kills a chance to score. This kid is just afraid to shoot i guess.

69': Cousins for Harsanyi, Herd for Sloma, they need a rest pretty bad here.

74': We steal the ball in midfield, Arter to Subotic who fires a pass to Cousins in space, Cousins into the area, he beats the keeper! 2-1

80': We pass the ball around seemingly forever, great control in their end, finally Herd makes his way to the right corner and sends a cross into the 6 yard box. Subotic gets his head on it and puts it in! 3-1

83': They aren't going to make this easy. A cross from the left side is headed in by Dimitrov. We had 3 defenders near him but he broke to the right spot to receive the cross and none of our guys followed to challenge. 3-2


Woking 3 : 2 Maidenhead

We really should win this one a little easier, but a win is a win and we needed to get back on the winning track in league play pretty badly.

Subotic has a goal and assist, 8.9, man of the match. Other goals from Ademola (7.9) and Cousins (7.2). Assists from Bennett (8.0) and Herd (7.0).

Thomas struggled again, a 6.3 rating when everyone else was in the high 6's. Dunno what to do about that kid.


Subotic ends an insane streak of nearly 900 minutes without a goal. 5 league goals justifies $1500/wk right?


7 matches left, 8 points ahead of Forest Green. On the off chance that we let them catch up, we are +30 in goal differential and they are +27. No one else in the league is better than +17. If they catch up that means we are tying or losing and they are winning so that would be a bad thing for the goal differential down the road.
