Woking highlights

Some very good forward play looking at those highlights. UTM

Yes, looked better than the live game. Must have been because we were all so very cold.

That was about 8 minutes of the game. The other 87 or so were pretty turgid, maybe a skewed view though considering how bloody cold it was.

As others have said, made Saturday look like a decent game. I think the disallowed goal was correct. Although the keeper spilled it, it looks like he got hold of it again. That turn from Abrahams was deserving of a goal. McAtee seemed to drop a bit deeper Saturday but he was a vital link between midfield and attack.

A Keith Alexander moment anybody ?

So on to Southend for a repeat.

I haven't been to many games this season but I went on Saturday. Thought we played well on the day.

I can understand the moans and frustrations in the stands at the time (because, as the game wore on, it became apparent that Woking were there to be beaten, after looking kind of handy in the first half).

Blustery conditions and the time-wasting didn't allow the game to flow. It wasn't anyone's fault that it felt like a grind at times.

But I enjoyed it. Thought we controlled the game, we created chances, tested their keeper and got the goal at the death (which was deserved, btw).

Those who want to criticise will always find a way to do so. Yeah, it might not have been 3-0 but let's also not forget that we had to draft a new lad in from Hull just a day before the game - he went straight in and played 90 mins.

Without Fox and Taylor, who'd have ordinarily played I reckon. It was good. Sometimes I feel like a lot of us need to chill out a bit, stop over-analysing everything and just try and enjoy the fact that we've got some decent players in our squad and we're competing at the right end of the division.

And Hurst's win percentage in the league is over 50%. Keep that going until the end of the season with the same endeavour we showed on Sat and we'll be in the mix for sure.

Even if the keeper spills the ball, you can't jump on top of him to obstruct him getting to the ball before you can tap it in.  

Nobody protested the disallowed goal because the decision was correct. If Harry stayed on his feet he could have probably tapped the ball in himself instead of diving in like a nutter, rush of blood leading to a poor decision methinks.

Edit: Having watched a couple of times...
* another ref might have seen McAtee's yellow as a red;
* if their No.18 goes down after Crookes barges him in the back the ref has a decision to make.

Fine margins working for us (for a change).

Interesting angle of the goal on matchday moments. It’s still not easy to work out, but it looks it comes off Dieseruvwe’s left thigh - a nice bit of reactionary goal-poaching.
