Much better than Saturday (not exactly difficult), but a game won by persistence and doing the right things at the right time rather than any great play. I'd give the performance 6/10 for decent defending and one or two good moves but generally could have been much better.
Goals were taken well and Disley was my definite man of the match - unlucky not to score more than one. That said, he needed to be good tonight because Brown was very poor. Not really involved in the game and not fully fit, by the looks of things.
My disappointment today was that we wasted umpteen chances to put in good counter attacks through poor decision-making and poor passing. If we'd played a bit better, we could have put them to bed much sooner but, as it was, we foiled as many of our own attacks as the Woking defence!
I thought Woking looked good playing the ball through midfield but, as so often, they didn't really create too many threats and I think it would have been very unfair if they had got something out of the game.
Pleased to pick up the three points, but I'd like to see us attacking better in general as we don't look like a championship-winning side quite yet.

Agree with all of that. We haven't been anywhere near as fluent as I'd like for some time now. But it was a good win against a decent side. It's important to get the point when perhaps you aren't at your best. We'll need to improve ten fold if we are to win the league.

Decent performance to bounce back from Saturday's poor showing. Three excellent, well-taken goals. A few nervy moments after their goal but answered in the best possible way. Great performances from Disley, (who covered a lot of ground for someone whose legs have gone (apparently)!) Arnold, Pearson Magnay and of course The Shop. Only slight grumble is we look very one-sided in attack. Mackreth still not really showing very much by way of product... Credit to the Woking fans who made a lot of noise for so few. Apparently their manager thinks this is the worst Town team he's sent a team out against

What a difference 3 days make. Tonight we played as a team instead of 11 individuals. Disley was outstanding and should of got the MOM award. Shame only 2600 odd people managed to drag their bums out to watch it.

Agree with that! A big result and on to Telford. A bit gutted we didn't get the 4-1 win at 40/1. Although I'd pay an extra tenner every game for 3 points. Happy Days! UTM!

Not at our best too many hopeful balls forward, but it seems PH had asked them to get the ball in behind them. It helped we had 2 willing runners up front to cause them problems. Woking play good football in midfield going forward but Macca did not really have save to make. We had a bit of fortune as they lost their keeper and Scott Rendell early on, and committed defensive suicide for the 2nd and 3rd goals. Credit though to JPP for chasing a lost cause to set up Lenny's first and the same for Hannah and Arnold for his second. It was a bit nervy when they got back to 2-1 but the 3 points are ours.

Million times better. Two up front, a will to get stuck in and to be first to the ball. What a header from Diz for the first goal. Pearson was immense tonight. They are a good side IMO there No 7 was as good a footballer as I have seen in this league.

Typical sour grapes from a sore loser! They offered nothing until their goal and all their chances were shots from outside the box! We deserved the win, and looked a lot better playing 442. Both LJL's goals wouldn't have been scored in the 451 system as nobody would have been in the box to support! Disappointed by Mackreth (as usual). He offered nothing going forward. I'd play Arnold on right and Nielson on the left against Telford. Nice to have that winning feeling again!

Pretty much my thoughts really especially the counter attack/decision making Arnold and .....Makreth.....have to mention how useless he was, sorry, but weak, clueless and largely a waste of a shirt. Also mention that two of the goals came from having 2 strikers up top, when he plays just the one we give the ball up too easy, tonight we had support on the spot.
