Woking V Torquay United 22nd November 2008

Dave I most probably do. Especially the ones where I go out with £100 in my pocket and get up the next morning to find less than £20!! Either I was robbed or I drank more than I realised.

Shot of the day-Danny Stevens, United's equalizer
Fumble of the day-Scott Beavan, Woking first goal
Matching hat and coat of the day-Alan Merson
Swollen ankle of the day-Kev Bridgman

How anyone can accuse Sills of laziness on today's performance is beyond belief! What do you expect him to do..............fecking press ups when the ball's up the other end?
Jump up and down doing star jumps whilst the physio's on? How about"doggies" whilst he's waiting for the inordinate amount of time it took Woking to take any re-start today?

The guy [glow=yellow,2,300]must have won 75%[/glow] of the crosses aimed to him today,tracked back properly on every occasion demanded and was for ever showing himself to take a pass off a team mate.

[glow=yellow,2,300]Woking is the most depressing place to watch and play football if you ask me[/glow]. Absolutely no interaction with home supporters...............they just have nothing about them and shuffle in and out of the ground like mice. Endless queues to get in through the ONE single turnstile. I just slapped a tenner down daring the operator to ask for more and she said nothing so I got in for the said tenner - it's all the dump is worth! A drab 8 step and uncovered terrace along one side for us to face across a pitch cut far too short and badly in need of levelling to that dismal array of sheds they call "stands" on the other side and beneath dreadfully dim floodlights and not a squeak of atmosphere from the home fans all day.

As last year Woking slowed the game down at every opportunity and slung 8 men behind the ball once they had gone two up...................boring boring place!

The referee meekly let them get away with this and turned out to be the type who'll give his decisions between the boxes but suddenly becomes inactive once the ball reaches the penalty areas.

He missed a handball so blatant in the Woking area first half the guy all but tucked the ball under his arm and ran with it, and in the second half again went blind when Benyon was brought down from behind. Add to the fact that two Sills' headers went wide when on another day he would have buried them and we could have had three goals to counter the two Woking fortuitously bagged. One when the ball reared up strangely in front of Bevan when he looked set to make a regulation save from a cross shot and then when he was left wrong footed thanks to a wicked deflection off one of our players on a longish ranged shot.

At halftime there never seemed the slightest doubt we would pull those back and thankfully Bucks decided to by pass the over crowded midfield by withdrawing Wroe and got the team to hit a few more long balls which forced Woking onto the back foot and thus created a chasm between their front men and the rest of the team. This also allowed a bit more space for Caryol and Stevens to run at their fullbacks and this is what turned the game heavily in our favour and we really should have won it but for Caryol not maximising his one on one run at the keeper and Benyon heading hopelessly wide with a yawning goal at his mercy.

Still, although not a tip top performance one in which we looked perfectly competent most of the time and never in danger of getting beaten..............even at two nil down.

Woking are a full time team that play in a part time manner, without ambition or much threat and when you go to such places and they play like that in their own back yard it makes you wonder just what if any ambition they have.

Thank God we had exciting young talent like Muzzie Caryol to entertain us this afternoon and I'll forgive him those shiny green boots, although with our bright amber shirts, and blue shorts and stockings it was a bit of a riot of colour...................about the only colour we were to see on a grey and cold afternoon!
