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)

I only saw it on the live stream and ended up just feeling very frustrated. So much possession second half and so little to show for it. The pace was not quick enough moving the ball and the final poor was too often poor: not beating first man, or near post with no one in sight. But it should have still been 1-1 with the chances at the end. I hope I am wrong but I have not seen Nikaj head the ball accurately in pre season at all. Daggers were physical but disappointing after first 10 minutes.
Much work to do of course and tough games coming up, but no panic. Just frustrating to miss an opportunity vs ten men.
