Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
Another visit to the dreaded Hop Oast Stadium this Good Friday as we face local rivals Horsham and aim to edge closer to the league title. The Hornets have had a good first season at step 2, but currently sit 15th with just 1 win from their last 5 games. They also have a few ex-Wanderers in the form of Isaac Philpot, Charlie Hester-Cook and Lewis Carey.
No weekly update yet but recent updates suggested that we may see the return of Brennan Camp, Dennon Lewis, Niall McManus and possibly even Pat Casey this Easter weekend. Louie Annesley played 90 mins for Gibraltar away in Latvia last night, so you would imagine he would be a doubt to start for this one. Alfie Rutherford and Liam Vincent limped off with injuries against Hemel last weekend so may also be doubts.
Predictions:
Horsham 0-1 Dorking (Carter)
2,118 att.
Foulkes
Camp Craig Norville-Williams
Enslin Pybus Pinchard Pearson
F.Vincent
Prior Carter
Subs: Annesley, Francomb, McManus, Sidwell, Lewis, McCallum, Lawrence
Let's hope the fixture doesn't attract too many teenagers looking for some trouble and that the Wanderers massif can amass together at one end, untroubled.
On the pitch, I expect Horsham will come out the blocks fast. I am now more confident than on previous visits we are capable of weathering any storm and finishing strongly. Horsham 1 Dorking 2 (Carter, Enslin).
Wouldn't surprise me if both Camp and Annesley started. PMac too.
Horsham don't have any rowdy teenagers causing trouble, so shouldn't be any issue unless fans from other clubs turn up. Marc said he felt Camp may not feature tomorrow.
Cheltenham sacking is strange. They still have a fairly good chance of making playoffs, but owner obviously expected top 3 or higher.
@baggy I’m hoping we can get the end behind the goal opposite the club house. The cup last year we seemed to stand on the side down that end but was packed in
@gary-munnery It's a strange one as others have said, and does leave it open for potential flashpoints especially if any banned fans get hold of tickets and other non regulars turn up.
Anyway, last couple of times we all seemed to gather along one side towards the far end, but given the numbers tomorrow it's hard to predict who will go where - especially as the normal practice of standing behind the end we are kicking towards is a bit tricky down by the clubhouse as there's so little room.
Despite that, personally I'll do my best to be behind whichever goal we are attacking, even if it's to the side. I suspect we will be attacking the clubhouse end first half.
