Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
Local rivals Horsham visit Meadowbank on Boxing Day, with a bumper crowd of over 3000 expected. The Sussex side have been a bogey team for us in recent years and are currently enjoying a great first season at Step 2, currently sitting in 6th on 38 points. The Hornets also boast a number of ex-Wanderers in their squad - Rhys Murphy, Isaac Philpot, Charlie Hester-Cook and Lewis Carey. Assistant manager Sami El-Abd has also featured in the matchday squad this season as well.
Niall McManus returns to the squad after recovering from a second broken leg of the season but Jimmy Muitt is a doubt after coming off injured at Slough. Josh Taylor, Alfie Rutherford and Jordan Norville-Williams remain longer term absentees, while Luke Moore is 2-3 weeks away from a return.

Agree, will be a draw but going for 1-1 (Lewis) 2,993. Watched Horsham a few times this year, good in defence and their attack will cause Dorking problems. Horsham 1st in League away from home, but Dorking best at home, hence draw.
