Too Wimpey for my liking.

O live it with you.

Excellent result, just what we needed and two points gained on Sutton and Hartlepool. Let's hope Bromley do us a favour in the late game.

At last we appear to be on the front foot the pace of Knight today caused problems and when Cal is back we will cause teams problems.

Have to cut out these sloppy goals though

Woking were poor and it wasn’t our best team performance. But, 3 points and a gain on Sutton & Hartlepool.

I liked the fact that Burchnall made changes early.

Massive game on Saturday. Wootton back in and Cal hopefully back on the bench.

One game at a time. But, momentum building. We can do this.

The back 3 combination of Rawlo, Ellis and Chicksen looks promising (the goals were due to mistakes by Barnett and Griffiths I think). Chicksen looks really at home there...

We didn't play that well tbh, Knowles took his goals very coolly but they were from defensive errors rather than made goals. The extra mobility up front, once Knight joined Knowles, was noticeable and it unsettled Woking. They were happier with Sam on the pitch, who doesn't do himself any favours - he needs to change his body language and show that he cares, he's looking sorry for himself

Good game to watch that, thought we played pretty well and were clearly the better team throughout, but their strength and height on set pieces made it interesting.

Credit to Burchnall too - Ardley certainly wouldn’t have sacrificed a big man up front or let Rodrigues come on with no defensive responsibilities, but both worked perfectly second half.

Yes I agree about giving credit to Burchnall. It could have been easy to take off Knowles and replace him with a like for like in Knight and leave Sam on. Likewise giving Rodrigues the freedom to remain as an outlet for attacks to be made. Also the changes were made early as well which gave the substitutes time to get into the game as well.

I think pulling Enzio and putting DKE on for the last five was also a good call as an insurance policy at the back to see the game out.

Some good performances today...Chicksen again looked calm & composed,Knowles (2nd half) looked sharp but Reeves,to me, bossed the whole game!

We must have watched different games, Reeves can only pass backwards
