Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
It's that time of year again! We kick off the season this weekend at home to promotion rivals, Dagenham & Redbridge. The Daggers have a couple of ex-Wanderers in the form of Liam Vincent and Davide Rodari, and will be hoping to gain promotion back to the National League this year.
The fitness update from the team showed that Muitt, Pinchard and Gallagher are likely to return in mid-late September with Josh Taylor returning a month or so after that. Isaac Philpot awaits the results of a scan but could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Predictions:
Dorking 1-1 Dagenham (Rutherford)
1,589 att.
Morris
Camp Annesley Vincent
Wood Francomb Pybus Lewis
Barrett McShane
Rutherford
Subs: Foulkes, Sayers, Grass, Page(?), Tauta-Caballero, Forster, Nikaj
Excited to get back for some competitive football. Shame to start the season with some injury woes but it is what it is.
2-2 , Nikaj and Barrett
Hoping that Morris has a clean sheet, Dorking 1 Dagenham 0 (Camp)

With an average pre-season and injuries as usual, can't see us winning this one: 2-3 loss. Was looking forward to going to game, but Watford away with Crawley too good to miss and only £10 a ticket!
Starting this season as we finished the last, with issues at the back. But I think we have goals in us, so I'll go 2-2.
2-2
Suspect it will be a scrappy game. 1-1 (Barrett)
Logic says 2-2, but I'm going with a gut feel..
Dorking (1) 3 Dagenham (1) 2 Nikaj, Barratt (2)
1,550 (275 Daggers)
Think it's going to be a slow start to the season for the Wanderers, sadly. Confident within a couple of months we'll be flying - much like last season. Think Dag & Red will be right up there with Torquay and will undo us with a couple of moments of brilliance from their star men.
DWFC 0-2 Dag & Red
I was going to say 3-1, but I have a feeling that this is going to be a lot harder than I initially thought. Like others I am going 2-2 with Alfie scoring both.
I am going for a 2-2 draw. Alfie and Macca scoring
I'll have a Guinness
Maybe I’ve had too much sun but 2-1 win, Forster and Camp
I think our defence might struggle a bit tomorrow...
Dorking 1 - 2 Daggers (JB)
We will probably need a defender on loan if Philpot is out for a few weeks. Annesley will struggle to play 90 mins at the minute...

A loan has been sorted, I am sure it will be announced in due course, but Annesley should start tomorrow

@dorking-eagle Missed the forum tonight, but guessing it’s bad news on Isaac? Did
Marc know a timescale yet?
