REGAN CHARLES-COOK has praised Woking manager Anthony Limbrick after taking a gamble on such a young squad after beating League One strugglers Bury in the FA Cup First Round on Tuesday.
The Charlton loanee, Inih Effiong and Jamie Philpot were all on target as the Cards caused a huge upset at Gigg Lane, coming away 3-0 winners after the initial tie ended 1-1 earlier this month.
After being in the FA Cup second round and flirting with the play-off places in the Vanarama National League, Charles-Cook has spoken very highly of manager Limbrick in his first managerial job.
After riding an initial storm where Michael Smith hit both the post and the crossbar for Bury, Woking grew into the game, and Charles-Cook notched his sixth of the campaign on the half-hour mark.
Just like manager Limbrick gambled on the young players, Charles-Cook revealed he did the same to get on the end of a fine counter-attacking move, something that Cards have been working on.
Woking will face either fellow National League side Tranmere Rovers or Peterborough United, another League One side, but Charles-Cook isn’t getting carried away despite their success.
