WOKING 2 ACCRINGTON STANLEY 1

ACCRINGTON Stanley's play-off hopes look finished for this year after  they slipped to an injury time loss to promotion rivals Woking.

The Reds now trail sixth placed Morecambe by four points with just two  league games remaining this season.

"We are now playing for pride and we will see where it takes us," said  manager John Coleman, who was furious with the 93rd minute goal.

Woking had been on the attack throughout the second half with Stanley  looking like they had weathered the storm. However the home side were given a debatable free kick which led to a  corner, that was hooked in and Gary MacDonald leapt up in a throng of  bodies to score the last gasp header.

"It wasn't a foul for the free kick, it wasn't a corner, it came off  their player, and it was a foul on our keeper Jon Kennedy but the  goal stood. I am sick to the stomach," fumed Coleman.

It had looked so good when the Reds had charged into a 13th minute  lead with David Brown finding Paul Mullin from his own half who  finished superbly for his 20th Conference goal of the season.

Coleman was then angry when tricky winger Gary Roberts when down in  the area but nothing was given.

"It was a stonewall penalty," blasted the boss. Woking pressed but their two frontmen offered little danger to  Kennedy's goal until the stroke of half time. Then a high ball into the box could have been left by the Reds  shot-stopper but he went for it, dropped the ball, Steve Evans picked  it up and passed to Chris Sharpling who had no problem firing the ball  into the empty net.

"Jon is sick in there as he knows he has made a howler. He played  great the rest of the game," admitted Coleman.

After the break, Woking turned up the heat and began to get past the  Reds defence but without reward.

But they should have been ahead earlier when striker Raphael Nade  missed an open goal from six yards out by ballooning the ball over  when it looked easier to score. It seemed the Reds would hang on for a point until the late late goal  saw their play-off hopes take a severe knock. MacDonald headed home to grab the winner and Accrington's Ged Brannan was sent off in the aftermath of the goal
