Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
The run of in-form sides visiting Meadowbank continues this weekend as we face old rivals Ebbsfleet United. The Fleet are unbeaten in 4 games and sit 4th in the table, 6 points behind Wanderers.
Marc announced that we have no fit strikers available, except for Jake Lawrence, this weekend. There was no mention of the injury that forced off Louie Annesley on Tuesday night but George Knight does return after his 3 game ban.
Predictions:

I was going to say the same aa you DE, so i will go 1-0 Lawrence. Will be a hard game, as Ebbsfleet are a good side. Attendance 1459.
Think we will edge a tight game 2-1. Carter and Pinchard
Wonder if the focus will be less on crosses, given the lack of strikers (and height?) - so more cutting inside and central interplay in the box?
Dorking (1) 3 Ebbsfleet (1) 1 Carter (2), Pinchard
1,801 (240 Fleet)
3 nil carter, camp and Lewis.
I will say a 2-1 game to Dorking. Goals from Carter and Camp. Going to be another difficult game, but we have other players that score goals, and it seems Pinchard is starting to fold in with the team. Hoping Niall recharged his batteries, or gets possessed by the Energizer Bunny, just don't shoot.
Another draw 1-1
Hopefully we can bring in a hungry striker who can score goals.
Carter up top by himself with the players we have could be a 1-0 Dorking win in my view.
Anyway lets hope we go up.
I am going for an ugly 1-0 again. Captain Carter to score. Attn: 1986 with 200 from Ebbsfleet.
No fit striker could well be a blessing in disguise. Can see The Fleet probably playing a three at the back and going man for man in the middle of the park. We need to win the midfield battles and get plenty of shots off from outside the box.
I'll have a Guinness
Might be best to pack out the midfield - surely a start for Pybus? - and rely on the genius of Charlie Carter and the wingers up top. Might need a set piece again. No corners for us on Tuesday night - is that a first?!
Hopefully it will be another open game - they will come to win no doubt - and despite our lack of strikers I think there will be goals. But am predicting the top spot hoodoo will continue: 2-2 (Carter, Enslin).
1 - 1 again, I think. Dennon Lewis.
STRIKER Sam Pearson signs on loan from Eastleigh 👍
