Merstham v Woking
Surrey Senior Cup 2nd Round
7.45pm on Tuesday 27 November 2012
Assuming the Moatsiders’ pitch is playable, the Cards will attempt once more to begin their Surrey Senior Cup campaign with a trip to Merstham tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. Merstham currently lie in mid-table in the Ryman League Division One South. Garry will no doubt give priority in selecting his side to those members of his first team squad who did not get ninety minutes on the pitch on Saturday.
WOKING
Garry Hill’s side, boosted by the return of Billy Knott and fine performances by other loanees Brett Williams, Jayden Stockley and John Nutter, produced some scintillating football on Saturday to thrash Farnborough 7-0 in the FA Trophy.
Garry will no doubt want to give some pitch time on Tuesday night to those players who didn’t figure on Saturday and those who didn’t play the full 90 minutes, whilst also wanting to maintain the momentum generated at the weekend, bearing in mind that the Cards have two difficult away fixtures coming up against Hyde and Lincoln City.
The winners of Tuesday’s tie will travel to Farnham Town in the next round.
MERSTHAM
The Moatsiders, much like Woking, don’t seem to have much difficulty in scoring goals but seem to find it hard to keep a clean sheet. So far, they’ve scored 32 goals in 16 games but have let in 33. A couple of weeks ago they were involved in an amazing 6-6 draw away to Walton Casuals, coming back from 6-1 down to share the points. On Saturday they drew 2-2 away at Sittingbourne, Lee Newman netting both goals, but lost their last home game 2-1 to Faversham Town.
There are a few familiar names in the Merstham squad, including striker Mark Nwojeki, who has scored against us for Staines and AFC Wimbledon and is on loan to Merstham from Kingstonian; Luke L’Anson, once of Dover Athletic; and central defender Tutu Henriques, who made over 350 appearances for Bromley.
