Would love to see Hebert start but it's probably unlikely. Is Josh back for this one then?
@adeb Think he was benched Saturday as he had picked up a slight injury with one eye on todays game. 1-0 win today🤞🏻
Wasnt there today but good too get back to winning ways with a 4-1 win perfect response to the Hemel game👍🏻
Great performances all across the pitch. Most notably though the tactics were spot on - well done management. Strikers staying high and giving Tonbridge all sorts of trouble - the oppo keeper kicked it to our players a few times.
Dennon Lewis had a good game, reminded me of Briggsy at times the way he bombed forward with the ball.
Good use of substitutes too.
All in all very pleased with that, could easily have been more!

That was a much better performance against another very limited team and this time, chances were taken.
Agree Lewis had a great game and delivered plenty of good balls in the box. Macca was a class above with his passes for an hour. The bench looks light though. Hebert does not seem seem to be physically strong enough for this league yet and he should have had a couple of goals. Saunders I thought looked solid enough when he came on.
Will be nice when the gaffer goes back to his side of the pitch next time! 😬
Good dominating performance and four well taken goals from close in . Good crosses from Dennon Lewis, and usual good performance from Rutherford. Usual felt that Storey played well and controlled back line, particularly first half.
Much better attacking performance as we looked much quicker and more dynamic in the final third compared to Saturday. Josh Taylor makes such a noticeable difference to our midfield and we've really missed Gallagher in some recent games.
Stats from the game are quite interesting and a bit all over the place:
Possession: Dorking 50% - 50% Tonbridge
Shots (OT): Dorking 16 (6) - 7 (1) Tonbridge
xG: Dorking 3.26 - 0.43 Tonbridge - Our highest of the season by some distance. We only had a higher xG once last season (Hemel home).
Passes: Dorking 268 - 319 Tonbridge - We very rarely get outpassed 11v11, especially at home...
Duels Success: Dorking 48% - 52% Tonbridge - First time we've lost the duels battle this season. Didn't happen much last season either.
