Marc said in one of his interviews Sunday that Louis done his quad so wont be going on international duty.

@hemelwanderer My understanding is that he's probably just about ok but they can't risk playing him after having to remove him from international duty. I can see him maybe returning after Braintree if we get past Southall tonight.

Do we know how long Camp is likely to be out for?  He is a massive loss, even if self-inflicted. 

Surely we can't stuff it up again in FA Cup: DW 3 Southall 2 (Alfie, Lewis, Pele)

Let's try the same again.  3-1 Wanderers.

I'm going to break away from the herd. A frustrating defeat, 1 - 2, followed by swearing and recriminations. Of course, I hope I'm wrong! 

Dorking W (3) 4 Southall (1) 1

889 (75 Southall)

That was a great cup tie, loads of goals and momentum swung both ways. Looking ahead for the rest of the season something needs to change with either the shape or the man to man press because shipping 14 goals in 5 games is not going to be sustainable if the gaffer wants to achieve promotion this season. I know there is issues with availability but the defensive side of the game is what will be the difference between being a NL side or NLS side next season the attack has more than enough quality to achieve promotion. Maybe worth a dip into the loan market for a some defensive reinforcements and a Holding midfielder.

Marc was looking for a 'routine home win' lol

Any neutral more than got their value! The rest of us had such a rollercoaster ride of emotions!

Never write off the Wanderers (but we do need to defend better!!! 🤣 )

Crazy game, don’t see many like that with the lead changing hands so often. Nice to be in the next round. 
Defence is such a worry though.

Yes agree on this. Really topsy-turvy game, with lead changing 5 times. Impressed with Southall. Fast running team who appeared really up for it. Good goals from both sides. Fortunately we had enough fire power to win game in the end. As you say, our defence is a concern, particularly against pace, if first teamers are not available. Thought we looked much better with Illesanmi shouting and organising the defence, but looks like he may be starting against Braintree, so maybe Marc didn't want him to play full game.

Any one know why there is no WFI at Dorking? I asked and was told "It doesn't work on Match days". Is that due to Surrey FA? A lot of non league clubs have it in their main building now. Went to South Park Reigate on Saturday and it even worked on the opposite of the pitch to the main building!

Thoroughly enjoyable evening, if bonkers, with some great goals. Should have been put to bed by half time though. 

Special mention to Pinchard, who I thought was brilliant throughout - always looking to get on the ball and make things happen, which he did for the final goal.  Not quite sure how one long hoof can lead to conceding a goal in the closing minutes, but no doubt lessons will be learnt.  

I notice that Farnborough, Farnham, Maidstone, Hampton and Richmond, Weston Supermare and Hemel Hempstead all lost to lower league clubs last night, the first three at home. At least we didn't join the list!

By the way, I absolutely loved Josh Barretts almighty hoof downfield in the 121st minute!!

Reminded me of Peter Kay in that tv advert 🤣 

Another observation. How good was that extra time! Both teams playing to win, the lead swinging one way, then the other.

Exactly what a sup game should be - teams trying to achieve the win before the last resort of penalties.

It is an absolute scandal that there is no extra time played in the FA Trophy, a competition with a final at Wembley no less. The rules have again been written this season to not have extra time in the Trophy, but that is a wrong decision in my view.
