I would really really love to see Alfie get a couple, I think his play and work rate has deserved more goals this season. I’ll go

Dorking 3-1 Braintree

Alfie x2 Nikaj x1

I'll go for a 2 - 1 win, Lewis and Rutherford

Going for 4-1 Dorking - but as many have said this could be anything!?!

4-2 classic 

Another exciting game of football but again shipping 3 goals will take the shine off it to be fair the first 2 are screamers but you can't help but feel teams are scoring them regularly because Morris is not making many saves. Their 3rd goal was just unfortunate that the player's 1 minute spell of the pitch brought him back on at the perfect time. The attack is performing well so if the team can start to keep clean sheets and some of the injured players start to return should be on course for a fairly decent season. I think their isn't really a standout team in the NLS again this season so will probably be fairly tight at the top again

Good summary BOA watcher. Always going to score goals with 3 strikers on form, but defenxe is still a concern, particularly when opposition break with pace. On of our defenders always seems to be out of position or too slow. 

Not to sure why Illensamni keeps being take off at half time, but I think defence will better when he plays whole match. Assume still not fully fit. Like Nikaj on the wing, got some good shots and crosses in and beat their left back repeatedly. Not sure why he was taken off as felt best player till then, and surprised Marc made so many substitutions at 60 minutes, but it worked out in the end.

Yes, strange substitutions. I thought most players had an off day. Denton was not at his best. We were not helped by the lino on the main stand side. He was off pace and simply atrocious. I have never seen Alfie so angry.

Had the sh*ts apparently, according to Marc

Denton was not at his best.

Thought he was excellent today, full of pace and skill, chasing down their keeper too

I thought Dennon was good when Josh Barratt was on the field, but was a bit lost without him.

I’ve seen enough. Nikaj is a wide forward, not a number 9.

And when he plays there, he’s one of our best attackers. Great finish today coming from wide. 

Another roller-coaster ride of a Dorking game 😂, that cagey 1-0 v Truro feels a century ago!

Agree @mattywanderer on Nikaj out wide - he can't head the ball but has great feet and has that curling left foot finish in his locker all day long. Was surprised to see him come off. 

Again, fantastic going forward and wasted chances in the first half. First two goals conceded were good finishes but for the third - what was Sayers doing rushing forward and letting his man a free run in?! 

We didn't manage to get Barrett and Macca on the ball enough - maybe good defending - but the third and fourth goals were excellent team efforts with very cool finishes. It's never dull! 

Great shift from Alfie and took his goal well - if only he could time his runs better - so many times caught offside.

Completely thrown off by their man coming back on the pitch without warning - and then thinking he was one of our players, due to the kit clash (can't believe that was allowed to continue - way too close imo)...

@adeb Their away shirt is all white - wouldnt of been any clash if they wore that imo. Will be interesting to see what we wear when we play them in Jan, would have to be the black number

I said when they walked out the kits looked too similar. Surprised it was allowed.
