-- Aswad Thomas felt my criticism of him following his 4.9 outing in our last match was a little harsh, though he is under no illusions that he shouldn't look to up his level of play. Whatever works for you buddy.

Rushden(16-12-9, 7th) @ Woking(23-7-7, 1st)
We are underdogs at home today, Rushden is 5:4 to win. We need to turn that crap around and start beating up on some teams again. We are 1-1-3 lifetime against these guys. They beat us 2:0 at their place earlier in the year.
Today's lineup:
GK: Lynch
DEF: Miquel/Fenton/Thomas/Pulis
MC: Sloma/Herd
AM: Bennett/Ademola
ST: Subotic/Harsanyi
Subotic hasn't scored in 785 minutes. Sheesh.
6': Subotic crosses the ball into the area, Ademola heads it down, it falls to the end line wide of the net, Harsanyi hustles to get there before anyone else and slides the ball in from what seems like an 89 degree angle into the net. Great goal! 1-0
18': We let them get this one back way too easily, a run down the right sideline, a nice pass ahead and striker Bowman cuts behind our central defenders, nice control by him to get a shot off quickly before we can recover. 1-1
19': Fenton with a yellow.
22': Sloma to Subotic, Subotic does all the work himself, beating his man and getting into the area. But his shot is right at the keeper and saved.
35': Harsanyi plays the ball into the right side of the area, Ademola runs on to it, but he's a bit deep. Its crowded back theer but he puts a pass right to Harsanyi's feet, Harsanyi with the shot... blocked by the keeper.
HALF: Things are pretty even. They have more shots (6 to 4) but we have more on target (3 to 2). Each team with one clear cut chance and the one goal of course. Possession has been even.
47': Rushden controls thigns at the start, a nice give and go generates a pretty good look that Lynch has to save.
55': Harsanyi with a great move to beat two defenders, but he can't put his shot on target.
64': Our second clear cut chance, Harsanyi plays a graet through ball to Subotic, he takes aim, and hits the far post from point blank range.
65': Oliver-Pearce is in for Miquel at DL.
77': Arter in for Sloma
80': Cousins in for Subotic
82': A throwin gets Arter the ball in the area, he makes a dribble, creates a little space, and puts a shot into the side netting.
85': Lynch saves the day, they get a good look from 18 yards out and Lynch blocks the shot.
88': Another good look for Rushden, its again from decenlty long range but a solid on target strike, Lynch dives and knocks it away.
Both teams try to attack for the winning goal, neither team succeeds at all.
Woking 1 : 1 Rushden
Harsanyi is great today, 8.8 rating with a goal, winning headers, making key passes, he's doing everything for us.
Ademola has the assist and a 7.5 rating, Pulis a 7.1. That's it today. Thomas was poor in the first half but picked things up in the second.
Cambridge loses today, Forest Green wins and we gain a point on the field but now there are two teams tied for 2nd:
1. Woking - 77 pts
2. Forest Green - 69 pts
3. Cambridge - 69 pts
4. Crawley - 67 pts
5. York - 65 pts

6. Gateshead 64 pts
7. Accrington 62 pts
