Jones was decent, and wasn’t frightened to tell people what to do. Is he better that Rhaiky? Dunno but poor illegitimate has only been here less than 48 hours…
excrement game, good win. End.

Think that’s pretty unfair on Jones who’s probably still learning his team mates names. Most of the fans in the Main Stand still are judging by some comments today.
Well, yes. I even said Jones probably doesn't know his teammates names yet. I do wonder why do many think he looked decent today as he didn't offer any more than his other midfield teammates, who were similarly poor. I'm sure he'll improve but there were a few midfielders on the pitch today who were more involved than he was, including Burgess (who himself wasn't great). The others were in middle for Woking who picked up about 90% of possession whenever the ball went loose. |

In common with Hunt and Raikhy, he looked to move the ball forward. I’m well aware that the moaners don’t like us to lose the ball but I’d rather see us lose it trying to make a difference than lose it passing sideways. Several were well off it today, given that, Jones was pretty decent in the main. |

Business end of the season and 3 points when some of those above us dropped points. That really is all that matters today and for the rest of the season...another 7...8 or 9 of those and I will be happy
Squad is now looking paper thin though , Sousa , arguably our best ball carrier was busy but ineffective....look at the bench and the only viable option was the one Hurst made ...it paid off.
Not many players out there today that you would expect to see causing the opposition one on one problems....the last 15 mins felt like an inevitable snooze to a 0-0 but a deserved winner did appear.
Plenty were quick to judge our recent signings previous scoring record.....well he has now played probably 45 mins and scored 1 goal and earned us 3 points....Great start.
Woking have never been on my radar until this week...treated with total indifference up until I read some of their comments on their boards....now.....over the moon we beat them again in the same late manner as at their place.....nothing like a last minute sickener to spoil a long journey home to the heavenly sumptuous leafy suburbs they come from.....arrogant cnts....hope there are roadworks.

90% of possession picked up?!?! Not sure even Rodri and Kante would have done that. I thought they grew into the game. They are still very young and regular games and training could see a good partnership develop by the time we have reached Wembley.... |

Thought Woking looked alright until they decided to shithouse it in the last 15. Knocking it around the corner flag with 11 minutes + added time left is absolutely asking for it, and they got what they deserved. Not sure what happened to the ref, started the game waving any argy bargy away then towards the end decided he'd blow for every single fart in the wind. Still freezing, knackered from shivering, but well worth it in the end. Agree with others comments about Abrahams, definitely my MoM today. I do love it when 5000 town fans spend 5 minutes simultaneously screaming 'Just put in the box!' then when Tristan finally 'twatted' it in there, we get the winner  How Jones' performance can be seen as anything but positive is genuinely beyond me, but we all interpret stuff differently. I genuinely thought he had a good game, strong lad with quality on and off the ball. Massive 3 points today as it turns out. UTM |

Got the win which was all that mattered in the end but we were nowhere near good enough in midfield today. Hopefully they can put that right though as they gel and get more time together in training but it looked like there were too many similar players in the centre. We are limited though due to injuries so kind of to be expected.
Woking should be ashamed of themselves with that second half performance. They aren’t in any danger of going down so why was a single point worth so much to them? The odd time they had a go they knocked the ball about quite well so it was sad that they resorted to the antics they did. Luckily they got exactly what they deserved and it was great to see almost all 11 of them on their knees on the floor after the ball had crossed the line. Referee a disappointment as well for letting them get away with it.
Abrahams was my MOTM today. Thought he was great tbh. Really pleasing performance from him.
2 points gained on those above anyway! Also above Bromley which is nice after their cup final at BP a few weeks back.

Woking scared me during the first half , they played the ball to feet which we didn’t. 2nd half just passed me by as my iPhone needs fingerprint recognition and my fingers were so cold I couldn’t access my phone to check other scores. I thought Jones picked up as the game went on but we only threatened when we kept the ball on the deck which resulted in the cross that we scored from. Mcatee run his socks off again but putting his foot in during a challenge for the ball is dangerous and resulted in a booking but 3 points from that performance was a good return.

It was an exact reply of the game at there place. They set up to be hard to break down and did that very well. We got them in the end. 3 great points, move on to the next game. Well done to all the lads that pulled on the shirt today. UTM On to the next game |

Very moderate game with very little quality. Nevertheless what’s not to enjoy about the 94th minute winner, loved it.
Their players look dejected which just added to the enjoyment. The next three games are very tough and we will need to improve dramatically but these three Points are massive. I think we would’ve smashed them if we have taken an earlier chance, whoever tried to put the rebound in after the ball hit the post in the first half should’ve shown a bit more conviction for me. There were too many 6 out of 10 performances today but three points is three points and it turned what would’ve been a very moderate afternoon into a very enjoyable one
