Woking FC - 21/22 End of season On the field A horror show as to be honest i sort of gave up and the players did too. A 14th place finish and it just wasn't what i hoped after least season Results On the plus side we still finished above media...

Woking FC - March 2022 On the field It is like whack-a-mole here in Woking. You find there is a problem away from home, and you try and sort that and your home form goes out of the window. Somehow we lose all 3 home games but pick up 5 points from the...

Woking FC - February 2022 On the field An almost completely positive month as we start to find some grit and determination to try and claw our way back into the play-offs. 7 points from the 4 league games and now up in 11th position. Results However...

Woking FC - January 2022 On the field Let's get it over with, the FA cup tie at Anfield was on New years day and i was expecting a pumping. We got this though A very respectable result indeed and even more annoyingly we conceded in the 1st minu...

Woking FC - December 2021 On the field Treading water as progress is slow and potentially non existent. Results Only 6 points from the 5 league games as we struggled for goals. In both the York and Boston games we should have won easily, dominating...

Woking FC - November 2021 On the field An undefeated month is just what the doctor ordered as we look to get our season back on track and to avoid the mid table mediocrity that is threatening our season Results Still in mid-table but on a surer foot...

Woking FC - October 2021 On the field Late goals aplenty again in another tough and ultimately disappointing month for the boys Results In the first few games the late goals went in our favour as we picked up 5 points from 3 games in the league befo...

Woking FC - September 2021 On the field If you go behind in every game of the month you know you are in trouble. Three late goals meant the month wasn't a complete disaster but it looks like our reality of being a mid table side at best is going t...

Woking FC - 21/22 Pre-season & August Transfers It was time to pick the boys up after last season and we needed to find some new talent especially after losing Hessenthaler. We released a lot of players during the off season, all of whom were non s...

Woking FC - 20/21 End of Season Review On the pitch Quite simply we blew it big time. The win againt Tranmere secured us a play-off spot and from that point onwards the team just gave up as we lost 3 home games on the trot before holding on for a 0-0...

Woking FC - March 2021 Updates coming thick and fast today as we edge ever closer to the end of Season 3. March An undefeated month but a month full of draws as we just failed to click all month. It was a horror show at Gateshead and Greg Luer had...

Woking FC - February 2021 Sorry for the radio silence. Not had a chance to play much over the christmas break meaning i couldn't update February Some tough fixtures in February as we had some FA trophy action as well as tough ties against fellow...

Woking FC - January 2021 January Sales As you can probably guess, Russell Hessenthaler has left Woking, well sort of. The bids came flying in on the 1st January and they just kept going. The initial figure in my head was around £250k and the bids...

Woking FC - December 2020 December A month of goals and in particular goals from Greg Luer who smashed in 11 goals over the month giving us 4 victories from 6 games including progression in the FA Trophy against Maidenhead. It was some performance f...

Woking FC - November 2020 November November has been the toughest month so far and it certainly meant that it took a lot longer to get through it than i would have liked hence the lack of updates for awhile. It started with our obligatory 1st Round exi...

Woking FC - October 2020 October Another month down and another one with lots of promise for us as we carry on picking up points. Well we picked up a mere 15 points out of 18 as bar a complete fuck up in the first game of the month against lowly Gatesh...

Woking FC - September 2020 A big signing One of the drama's of pre-season was whether i would be able to keep hold of Hessenthaler who was quite rightly attracting interest from Championship clubs. Some bids came in, i rejected for not being game...

Woking FC - 20/21 Pre-season & August Transfers A new league means new expectations and we needed to strengthen the side for what will no doubt be a tougher season than last year. First of all we had a big clear out with 22 players being released....

Thanks Dan! Hopefully Step two will be done nice and quickly

Woking FC - 19/20 End of season March, April & May If i told you the month of March saw us get thumped twice, it would probably tell you how my nerves felt during these three months as we tried and tried to throw away the league title. The fact one...

Woking FC - January & February 2020 January & February The Woking charge is still on people as we perfected the month of January with 5 wins from 5 including a very impressive victory over Vanarama National league leaders Grimsby 3-1 in the FA...

Woking FC - November & December 2019 November & December Things are motoring along very nicely indeed if i say so myself as the team and more precisely the strikeforce of Hessenthaler and Luer perform week on week I must admit there was a li...

Woking FC - September & October 2019 September & October I am going to mix up the post lengths to see what works and instead of one each month, i will try and group a few months together. If you prefer it the other way than do let me know! Sep...

Woking FC - 19/20 Pre-season and August 2019 Transfer Window It has taken awhile to get over the disappointment of the Play-off loss but the board were happy to keep me on for another try. To aid me, i was given a healthy transfer budget of £42k...

Woking FC - 18/19 End of season The Season run in Quite simply we ran out of steam and some of the games got crazy. A 4-4 draw against Torquay started the month where it looked like we had scored a late winner only to concede an even later equaliser. T...

Woking FC - March 2019 March 2019 March mayhem has happened as things got real tough for us. The month started with our FA Trophy Quarter final clash with Leyton Orient. Both teams had agreed that the match will go to extra time if the scores are level...

Woking FC - February 2019 February 2019 The Woking steam train is still rolling with the team going the whole month without conceding and picking up 8 points from the 4 league games. On top of that, we also progressed in the FA Trophy 3rd round beating...

Woking FC - January 2019 January 2019 New year... new Woking? Well in a way yes. The first half of the season saw us playing well and winning games through tough sturdy play with many games finishing 1-0 or 2-1. Defensively the team were the best in th...

Woking FC - December 2018 December 2018 The end of 2018 is upon us already as we moved through the festive season and progressed past the half way point in the season. The FA Trophy also kicked into life and was the jumping off point for the month. In...

Correct. The board were willing to listen to offers when i took over so it wasn't a surprise that we got a takeover so soon

Woking FC - November 2018 November 2018 A much quieter month in the end with just 4 games and a much needed two week break at the end of the month to rest these part timers. Although all 4 games were tough with the three league games all against teams...

Woking FC - October 2018 October 2018 Month 3 and the FA Cup start to kick into gear as we start the month with the 3rd Qualifying round fixture against Brentwood. A game i was expecting to win relatively easily but in the end a 93rd minute goal from N...

Woking FC - September 2018 September 2018 Onto Month 2 where we have fixtures against Billiericay and Torquay, two of our potential rivals for promotion, as well as our first foray into the FA Cup. Could we keep up our form? Well yes and no. We mana...

Woking FC - August 2018August 2018Just like in real life, we got ourselves off to a decent start in the league to stamp our claim as a promotion hopeful It all started with a 1-0 victory over East Thurrock where their defender was unlucky turning the...

Woking FC - 18/19 Pre-season Tactics With a revamped tactics module in this years game i was keen to look at how we can set up in the lower leagues where the ability is just not there to play the likes of Gegenpress and Tika taka football. Therefore we...

Woking FC - a takeover So my first game on FM19 will be with the team that were just down the road when i grew up. I am a Gooner at heart but Woking is still the first team i saw live in their relative heydays on the mid 90's. The aim here is to tak...
