In The Way Next: Woking


History suggests the floodgates will open for one or both teams on Saturday.

Well, more trickle than flood really.

Both Wrexham and Woking currently sit side by side in the early standings with identical W-D-L columns.

Both are on minus goal difference but the shot shyness could disappear this weekend.

You see, in our seven games (all league clashes bar one) against the Cardinals at the Racecourse 21 goals have been shared .

And given that we’ve only rippled the net once in two home games, witnessing Keates’ men cut loose will be a welcome sight even if it is only by one goal like our previous clash against them at home.

  • Woking-born Harry Hill doesn’t know who will win on Saturday. There’s only one way to find out…

We ran out 2-1 victors over Woking in January but they triumphed 1-3 the previous season.

Before that we hammered them 3-0 in the FA Cup in November 2014 to make amends for the 1-2 reversal three months earlier.

Our three other Conference meetings with them here have ended in two Wrexham wins (2-0, 3-1) and a 1-1 draw.

House of Cards

The triple FA Trophy winners are led by another rookie boss in Anthony Limbrick.

The former Southampton and West Ham Academy coach is, like Keates still very much finding his feet in this management lark.

  • ‘Town Called Malice’ was written by Paul Weller about Woking, his hometown.

Woking won their first two home games 2-1 against Gateshead and Eastleigh respectively but shipped three goals on both their away trips so far at Barrow and Tranmere.

Wrexham will hope their early trend for suffering on their travels continues this weekend.

However, Woking will be looking for a positive result to counter last Saturday’s 0–2 home loss to Leyton Orient.

Craig Faulconbridge, currently injured with splinters in his arse-cheeks from a bout of fence-sitting is predicting a share of the spoils between two of his former employers.

“Both need time but they are two teams that want to play. It will be a good atmosphere..it will be close but I am going to sit on the fence and say 1-1.”
