Woking are back in the top-flight of non-league football after a three-year exile in the Blue Square South and will be determined to stay there for the long term. The Cards needed quite some time to recover from that painful relegation in 2009 but Gary Hill finally succeeding in creation a winning team last season and his side cantered to the title in super fashion. They played lively attacking football and their automatic promotion was never really in double. Some of the key members of the squad like Jack King and Paris Cowan-Hall may have left for Football League clubs but the squad still looks pretty decent on paper and the Cards fans may have plenty to cheer on in the coming season too. Brett Johnson is a very good addition at the back while Loick Pires was lured from Welling having attracted interest from clubs higher up the table. There is a good balance in the squad even though they still need a few more players to provide cover. However, they look well-placed for the return to the Conference and are likely to finish around mid-table.

Target


Woking have some pretty good players and should be able to finish around mid-table given the great momentum generated from last season.
