Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
A first trip to Essex this season as we face newly promoted Billericay Town this Saturday. The Blues won promotion through the Isthmian Prem playoffs last season and have made a solid start back at step 2, currently sitting 13th with 7 points.
No fitness update yet, so no news on the injury that forced Camp off late against Truro. Muitt, Taylor, Gallagher and Vincent remain mid-long term absentees. Josh Laqeretabua has returned to Charlton, while Femi Ilesanmi has joined the club.

Yeah we're kind of obligated to attend 17 of the 19 Prem aways as away s/t holders. Palace will soon be on a routine of Thursdays and Sundays then it's back to a (very) full diary!
