VNL#38 - Daggers 3 Woking 1
🚨 FIVE LEAGUE WINS IN A ROW 🚨 As much as it is an admittedly palatable run of fixtures, that doesn't dilute what is a klaxon-worthy accomplishment. Not since early 2017 have we managed to record five victories on the bounce, but as impressive as the results are the performances that are supplementing them. This, for the most part, was an absolute joy to watch. Our interplay, primarily involving the majorly-influential Matt Robinson, was absolutely exceptional. His passing is a skill he is only recently receiving immense praise for. He always seemed a gritty enforcer type midfielder, but he can certainly ping a football. The same can be said for Will Wright, who racked up another two assists. Much like Robinson, his technical ability has often been overlooked, but he showcased what he can do here. McCallum, also bang in form, headed home his pinpoint early cross to take his own individual tally to ten, which swiftly became eleven from the penalty spot soon afterwards. Balanta would later join his strike-partner in double figures and a crucial goal it was too, after Woking had threatened a comeback that, for a short while, seemed conceivable. Though we were outstanding at times here, we were also poor for long periods and it almost proved costly, so Balanta's goal at 2-1 was absolutely critical, once again outlining his importance to the team. A drop-off in standards from the first half to the second is understandable when you consider that we only had our previous fixture two days previously. We made only two changes, both enforced, so it's not entirely surprising that we looked jaded. Ultimately, we got the three points and that's all that matters, especially at this stage of the campaign. All in all, it's another wonderful afternoon for the fanbase to savour. We must keep looking forwards rather than back, though, and focus must shift to making it six from six away at Wealdstone next weekend. I've every faith we can, such are the strengths of our current performances.
