Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
Back at Meadowbank yet again as we face local rivals Farnborough tomorrow. The Hampshire side currently sit in the relegation zone on goal difference and have picked up just the one win in their last 5 matches.
The weekly update announced that Casey has gone back to Charlton for tests on his hamstring injury, but the hope is that he will only be out for a week or so. Alfie Rutherford returns to the squad from his recent hamstring injury.
Predictions:
Dorking 4-2 Farnborough (McCallum, Lewis, Muitt, Rutherford)
1,621 att.
A bit tricky to predict the XI for this one due to the Casey injury. Will Marc choose to go with both McCallum and Prior considering how many midweek games we have coming up? I wouldn't expect them to risk Rutherford from the start but they could play McShane up top with one of them.
Foulkes
Camp Annesley Norville-Williams
Muitt Gallagher McManus Lewis
McShane
McCallum Prior
Subs: Craig, Francomb, Vincent, Knight, Sidwell, Moore, Rutherford
@baggy I am not sure its insane bad luck at this point pal, cough. We have been talking about this as a club for 5 seasons now. I think.
The issue is intensity and load on players and recovery. Basic shit, that is still not right. Players are breaking down very early into their Dorking career even those at a very young age.
The only lads avoiding the longer major injuries are the defenders and those who have been around it for a long time like JP9. Those on cruise control and knowing their own body. Says it all doesn't it?
Your training and warm ups and warm downs shouldn't be an issue, at Dorking they are. Clearly. Full stop.
I thought this new S&C coach could make some difference but clearly he hasn't, in fact its got worse under him.
@calvertskans Exactly this. All other injuries (the broken toes and JNW shoulder) can be nothing other than bad luck/contact. How many times have we seen players hobble off at Meadowbank?
@jacksonfairweather It. Is. The. Pitch.
Does anyone know when it is due to be replaced, or even thought of it being replaced? The proposed purchase of the stadium has gone very quiet so I suppose it is up to the Council. Considering the amount of wages we have to pay to crocked players, the extra players we have to bring in, and the possible affect on getting promotion you thought it was worth talking to the Council about it.
