DEADLY duo Lutel James and Paul Mullin really had the Cards marked on Saturday until they were dealt another cruel late blow.

Just a week after two injury time goals turned a 2-1 Stanley lead into a 3-2 defeat against Dagenham and Redbridge, more 90th minute misery denied Stanley the three points at Kingfield.

Goals from James and Mullin had seemingly strengthened Accrington's surge towards the play-offs before Frenchman Raphael Nade lashed in an equaliser with seconds remaining to complete thier comback from 2-0 down.

With five points thrown away in two games, it's no wonder manager John Coleman is continuing to cast doubt on his team's chances of a top five finish.

But he must still take encouagement that he did make the long journey home with a least something to show from a game he went into virtually stripped of his entire back four.

Key defenders Peter Cavanagh and Steve Halford were missing through suspension and right back Paul Haworth and centre half Jonathan Smith were both injured.

But Accrington started the game with determination, and as early as the fourth minute Paul Cook found the ball on the edge of Woking's penalty box and fired a fierce shot narrowly wide of Ashley Bayes' left hand post.

Stanley continued to pressurise the Woking defence and were unlucky when James and Mullin came close to opening the Reds' account.

On 10 minutes Ged Brannan, clearly struggling at left back, was replaced by Lee McEvilly in the defensive position and Stanley took the lead four minutes later.

Andy Gouck pushed the ball wide to Rory Prendergast and his lovely left-footed cross found James in front of goal and he guided the ball past Bayes to put the Reds in front.

Woking tried hard to get back into the game and from a corner, Jon Kennedy's fumble allowed Amos Foyewa to head the ball towards goal only for 19-year-old Darran Kempson to clear off the line.

Stanley came back and attacked once again, a through ball finding Prendergast with only the keeper to beat, but he blasted the ball over the bar with his weaker right foot.

Stanley's well-publicised ill discipline threatened to surface as Cook was shown a yellow card for what seemed like an innocuous challenge, and Steve Hollis was also booked a minute later for a heavy tackle.

Woking, their ears still ringing from manager Glenn Cockerill's half-time team talk, came out for the second half and immediately attacked the Stanley goal.

But it was Stanley who extended the lead when a free kick was headed down by Kempson for Mullin to volley in the second.

At 2-0 Stanley looked to have control of the game but, from a corner, Foyewa headed past Kennedy into the roof of the net to pull one back on 68 minutes.

The struggling Cook limped off to be substituted by Steven Flitcroft on 73 minutes, but it was always going to be difficult for Stanley to soak up the pressure with five minutes of added time to endure.

And so it proved when a scramble in the box allowed Nade to slam in and make it 2-2 during that extra period.
