Woking manager Craig Ross admitted his side could have played better in their Surrey Senior Cup win against Camberley Town.

Goals from Tom Dryer, Sean Adarkwa (2) and Will Richards fired the Cards to a 4-0 win in front of a crowd of 250 at the Laithwaite Community Stadium.

Ross was happy to have won the game and progressed to the next round, but felt his side could have played better.

“We asked the lads before the game to play to our standards and to our maximum and be professional,” said Ross.

“I didn't feel like we got that in abundance at times.

“We know we could be better but the objectives were for players coming back from injury to get minutes and to go through and win the game.

“We want to attack and win any game we play in, so those objectives were completed. I’m pleased with that, but we could be better and we should be better at times in that game.

“It can be difficult to motivate yourself at times, so it's up to us and up to them to motivate themselves, drive themselves, hold us to a high standard and not drop below that.”

The match saw a number of Woking players step up their returns from injury, with starts for Tunji Akinola, Timi Odusina, Tariq Hinds and Jake Forster-Caskey, and Ross felt that was the most important outcome from the game.

“The game came at a good time for us and for lads like Tunji, Timi, Tariq and Jake,” said Ross.

“They've been back training for the past week or so. It came at a good time for them and for us to use them and use this game to try to get them up to speed as quickly as we can.

“It's not easy to get players up to speed if we're playing back-to-back league games where they might not be playing more than 20 to 30 minutes.

“The game was really important for that. It was good to get them through it without any injuries or problems, so we're pleased with that.

“The other really pleasing thing was the young academy lads that were with us.

“I thought they were outstanding – every single one of them showed their quality.

“Will Ledbury and Will Richards were excellent, Ed Scott looked solid coming on at centre-half, Dillan Davies looked composed on the ball and Jalil Page put a great ball in for Sean's second goal.

“Full credit to them. I’m really pleased with them. It was good they showed what they are about.

“I told them before the game it's their chance to show what they're about and put a marker down to put a thought in my mind that when we need players to step up from the academy, whether that's for training or for games like this, they've put themselves in the forefront of my thinking.

“I saw Will Richards a few weeks ago and liked his quality and the way he manipulates the ball and goes past people.

“He made an impact straight away with a run. I’m pleased he got his goal because I think his performance deserved it.”
