Worcester City 0 Guiseley 1 (From Worcester News)

4:56pm

Well, City lose for the third game running but they had their chances and will feel very hard done by.

4:55pm

Weir cuts the ball back on the byline and Taylor turns it against the post.

4:54pm

Guiseley taking the ball into the corner. Not long to go now.

4:49pm

Five minutes of added time to play. Where has that come from?

4:49pm

That goal has totally deflated everyone here at the Lane.

4:45pm

Last five minutes. Can City find a winner?

4:40pm

Glover brings the ball forward, exchanges passes with Elvins and then pulls a shot inches wide of the far post. So close.

4:39pm

10 minutes to go and they promise to be a bit nervy.

4:39pm

Guiseley noŵ on the attack, last ditch defending from Stuart Whitehead.

4:38pm

Weir gets in a cross from the right but Symons scrambles the ball the wrong side of the post.

4:35pm

Mills breaks free but over runs the ball and the keeper gathers.

4:34pm

Brooksby with the corner, Symons rises and heads clear.

4:31pm

Elvins looks to be playing up front with Birley back in midfield.

4:31pm

Elvins bursts forward, wins the ball in a challenge with the keeper but then puts the ball wide. Oh dear!

4:29pm

Walshaw gets into the box but drives the ball over the bar.

4:28pm

Deeney has returned to left-back and Mills is on the left wing.

4:25pm

City are sitting very deep, to the extent Glover is doing a lot of defending.

4:23pm

Free kick from Joshua Wilson is straight into the midriff of Thompson.

4:17pm

Brooksby hits his head on the canal end wall following a challenge from Shabir. He's ok.

4:15pm

4:15pm

Good play from Worcester ends with Weir firing over from about 25 yards.

4:13pm

Free kick from Thorley is spilled by the keeper but he is fouled by Shabir.

4:13pm

Referee happy to lecture players but not book them.

4:12pm

A stag party has arrived for the second half and one of them is dressed as Alan Partridge wearing shorts!

4:10pm

Thompson's clearance is charged down but he recovers well to gather the ball off the toe of Walshaw.

4:08pm

Rob Elvins tries a shot from the edge of the box, easy for Drench.

4:07pm

Symons shows some fine skill to get free of his marker but is let down by a major bobble off the pitch.

4:06pm

No changes at the break so Shabir is ok to continue.

4:05pm

City attacking the dressing room end in the second half.

4:02pm

The attendance is 738.

3:48pm

Jacob Rowe clears the latest Guiseley threat as City bid to get to the break without conceding.

3:47pm

The referee is not shying away from blowing his whistle for just about anything.

3:43pm

Shabir moving more freely now, that's good to see.

3:43pm

Symons tries a shot on the turn but it is blocked. Decent effort.

3:42pm

Birley plays the ball to Symons but he is miles offside.

3:40pm

City have another free kick cleared but they have played better of late.

3:38pm

More good defending from Weir to clear his lines.

3:36pm

It's his knee that is the cause for concern. Giving his injury record, hopefully he will be ok.

3:35pm

Shabir is hobbling and has gone down for treatment.

3:34pm

Glover gets into the box and is denied by Drench. Good spell for City.

3:33pm

Thorley whips in a free kick from the left, Shabir meets it and his header is smothered by keeper Steve Drench.

3:31pm

Mike Symons does really well to beat Mark Bower and get into the box, he passes to Birley who lays the ball off to Thorley who slips and shoots over.

3:29pm

Walshaw gets past Shabir Khan and Thompson tips his shot over. From the corner, Walshaw heads over from point blank range. In his defence, the ball came at him very quickly.

3:28pm

The final ball just isn't there at the moment for City.

3:24pm

Guiseley are steadily building the pressure. You get the feeling that it has to pay off soon.

3:24pm

James Walshaw has a shot blocked by Glyn Thompson for a corner. The keeper punches the corner clear.

3:23pm

Danny Ellis heads wide from Brooksby's looping cross.

3:14pm

Andy Holdsworth cuts free kick back to Andy Pearson but his shot is charged down.

3:10pm

Cross from Danny Glover crashes into the side netting. Some people in the ground thought that was in.

Wayne Brroksby with the Guiseley corner, headed clear.

3:06pm

Ellis Deeney, in a much more advanced role than normal, fires wide following decent build up.

3:04pm

Guiseley have an early corner. Swung over and eventually cleared by Tyler Weir.

3:00pm

2:46pm

There is a surprising look to the City team today with Shabir Khan coming in at left-back and Ellis Deeney shifting into midfield. 

Matt Birley also starts so it looks as though City will be going for a 4-3-3 system.

Tyler Weir returns as does Mike Symons but Greg Mills is only on the bench along with Matt Breeze and Charlie Reece. Lee Ayres is not in the squad.

Worcester City: Thompson, Weir, Shabir, Thorley, Whitehead, Rowe, Deeney, Elvins, Symons, Glover, Birley. Subs: Taylor, Mills, Breeze, Reece, Sargeant.

Guiseley: Drench, Rea, Meynell, Pearson, Ellis, Bower (c), Holdsworth, M Wilson, J Wilson, Walshaw, Brooksby. Subs: Marsh, McWilliams, Lawlor, O'Reilly, Giles.
