"Performance wise we were great, we just lacked a goal having dominated for 80 minutes," he said.

Woking started brightly and almost scored on 17 minutes with the first effort on goal from either side. Justin Richards was fouled on the edge of the box and Paul Watson struck a sweet left footed shot which went just wide of Shwan Jalal's left-hand post.


It was the Cards who maintained possession from the on and Karl Murray and Richards both struck efforts straight at Crawley keeper Phil Smith at the end of good flowing moves.

Crawley had just one attempt in the opening 45 minutes Daryl Clare setting up Tony Scully who sliced a half volleyed chance over from 18 yards.

Woking had certainly looked the most likely to score in the first half, while Jimmy Aggrey, enjoying only his second Conference start was immense at the back.

The visitors went close after the break when Sacha Opinel's snapshot from an angle went a yard over the bar and then Danny Brown's long-range effort skimmed the roof of the net, although once again Jalal hadn't been tested.

Crawley were reduced to 10 men for the final 20 minutes when Dave Woozley appeared to kick Craig McAllister.

But Jalal finger tipped Clare's late effort away then Steve Burton struck the post as Crawley finished the stronger team.
