We have shown this season that we can mix it with the so called " Big boys". I would have taken a draw before the game and couldn't believe when we went 2 nil up against a team like Woking. Shame we couldn't see it out but they always looked dangerous coming forward. Was it a penalty? looked a bit soft from where I was standing but that was at the other end of the pitch. One final thought, not taking anything away from the players who gave their all on Saturday, but Woking were playing a side that was almost our reserve team. Just think what we could achieve with all our players fit and free from suspension.

Did feel like a defeat, but would have accepted a draw at the start. I thought both teams started nervously with a lot of careless misplaced passes. I was impressed with the ref in the first half as he stamped his authority on the game although in letting the game flow he was also not seeing or choosing not to punish obvious fouls. This became a problem in the second half, when he became inconsistent by comparison. I didn't see why Callum got his first card and his second was unfortunate and from where I sat pretty harsh compared to other similar tackles that had been let go. His dismissal was a real shame as he was one of our best players and I'd thought this was his last game for us until I saw after the match that the loan has been extended. At 2-0 up I though we were safe, but did think we sat too deep then with no midfield link to Jarvis, who despite Chambers scoring 2 goals, was missing Nick to do the holding work for him up front, I thought Nuno fitted back into the team well and was clearly keen to show that he was worth his place. Unfortunate yellow stretching to recover a ball lost in a tackle, but showing enough studs which, though the Woking player made a big deal of, is fair enough. I didn't have a clear view of the foul that led to the penalty, but there seemed to be few complaints and maybe Nuno was lucky not to get a second yellow there. Outstanding save from Brad kept us in the game but gutted to concede to finish 2-2.

Anyone know why the players came out after HT, all of us and a few Woking, only for Collier to call them all back in again for a few minutes? Possible injured assistant or was Collier just making a point about possible gamesmanship from Woking delaying their return to the field?
