Match Thread vs. Woking 05.04.21 [NL]

[MAD_MAGPIE]

After a pretty even 20 minutes and once we scored the first goal we were looking dominant and in control. It was clear confidence is fragile as it went after we conceded the penalty. The second goal was switching off from a free kick and losing the Woking player at the back was unmarked.

We are going to have to create more chances and have more attempts on target if we are to get anything out of this game. The only other chance we had on target other than the goal scored by Ellis was a header from Reeves that went straight to the keeper.

The positive is we are quite clinical when we do have shots on target. Sam and Knowles need to have more of a presence up top and go and get the ball and make something happen. Would like to see more attacking intent from Enzio as well. I'd imagine Knight will be on at some point.

No team in the top 7 is leading at this moment. We need to get cracking and capitalise.

Cheaterfield are breathing right down our neck and have won four in a row. We will have played the same amount of games as them after today. If we win today we will be 4 points clear of them, if not only 1 point going into our game against Hartlepool.

Sam is like bambi on ice at the moment. Despite being 6ft 5 he barely wins any headers

Notts started brightly and deserved to take lead but then got worse.. yet still created chances...Reeves could have done better and I think it was Griffiths had plenty of time and space to put his laces through a chance 16 yards out and it just stuttered goalwards.
A few times Sam has shadowed the Woking player with the ball for twenty yards but never catches up, and yet we all know he has got pace..?
A strange half really.
Coyp!

This is the problem getting booked in the first few minutes when you are a striker like that. Sub-consciously he'll be aware one more mistake and he's off.

Time for Rodrigues to stake his claim with the new manager. Hope he's up for it.

Rodrigues for Griffiths HT sub

Good,
It was a pen by the way, but a soft one, and unnecessary from us, not unlike the Ellis and Turner penalties recently, it's very unlikely that all 3 of them were given, just as easy to imagine none

We must be due a pen or two ourselves. Fingers crossed.

Grrr. Reeves and headers don't seem to be the best combination today.

COYP!
