FORMER Southend and Oxford United hit man Mark Rawle could be handed his full Woking debut at KitKat Crescent tonight.

Rawle, who joined the Cards from Kidderminster in the summer, has been gradually building up his fitness with substitute appearances after a hamstring injury but now looks ready for his first start.

The 26-year-old striker, who netted 32 League goals in 40 games for Boston United, is in line to partner Justin Richards in Woking's attack although Steve Ferguson and Craig McAllister are also in contention.

Karl Murray will return to the Surrey club's midfield after a one-match suspension with Neil Smith making way but centre-back Jimmy Aggrey is still sidelined after picking up a hamstring injury just ten minutes into his debut following a summer switch from Bohemians.

Woking have struggled defensively with only Southport and Gravesend and Northfleet conceding more goals in the Conference so far.

The departures of centre-backs Luke Oliver and Jon Boardman to Yeovil and Rochdale respectively in the summer have left Glenn Cockerill's men weakened in that department and six goals have been shipped in the first three matches.

But Woking can still call on the class of former Arsenal star Ian Selley in midfield.
