The next visitors to Roots Hall have something in common with Manchester United - they also have a 100% losing record against the mighty Shrimpers!
We've only played Woking once before, and it was a rare victory wearing the custard splat shirt under the tenure of Alvin Martin. We won 2-0 at their place in the cup (goals by Nathan Jones and Phil Gridelet) - highlights can be seen here for those interested:
At the time we were similarly in the doldrums, albeit 3 divisions higher than we are now.
The Cardinals sit comfortably mid-table at the moment, 7 points ahead of blues, but their recent form has been somewhat mixed. They had a blank weekend last weekend after being dumped out of the cup by Horsham and the previous Tuesday they lost at home to Bromley. It will possibly be a chance for us to see what we missed out on with former trialist winger Jordan Maguire-Drew who has 6 appearances for them this season and has scored one goal. However he started the last game on the bench.
As for blues, we feared the worse after last Saturday in as much as our two blades loanees looked likely to be unavailable for this fixture - however with Zak's red card being rescinded and Kacper's Skyscanner skills finding him an earlier flight back from international duty in Bucharest it seems maybe both will be potential starters after all.
Rhys Murphy went off with what looked like a nasty dead leg late in the game last Saturday and it remains to be seen whether any of the other injured players will be back.
Despite the final score on Saturday, it wasn't a bad performance (compared to some earlier this season anyway) and there seems to be a bit more confidence around the team now. It remains to be seen who Kev and the gang will pick to start in an effort to get back to back home wins (and a rare one with a Saturday 3pm Kick Off one to boot), but who would you choose to start and what do you predict the result to be?
