Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
The first of a Bank Holiday double header as we make the short trip up the road to face newly promoted Walton & Hersham. The Swans have had several promotions in recent years, but after a tough Summer where they lost most of their best players and their manager, they sit bottom of the table on 0 points.
The injury update suggests that Dan Pybus and Harry Forster should return for this one, with Harry Pinchard not far away either. Muitt, Gallagher and Taylor remain longer term absentees, but there was no word on the status of Francomb or Vincent.

5-0 to Dorking, who knows who the scorers will be, but this is the perfect time to play them. They still have not woken up to the situation they are in.
I’m joining the herd, despite my own advice.
DW to win 2-1. Pele and Barrett
4-0 to DW
Time to take out the frustrations of a 'slow start' 6-0 Dorking
Did not see the game but just watching Marc’s post match interview and he was really not happy at all. Who is he aiming that at?!
Thought that was a professional performance, we had that spell in the first half where Walton scored and didnt look too bad but it was only a matter of time before we equalized. Pleased Alfie scored and also really happy Wood managed to get a goal which was very well taken and will no doubt be a massive confidence booster. Second half we didnt get have to get out of second gear and controlled the game, Walton didnt seem to have much urgency to try and pull a goal back and seemed happy enough to just knock the ball around. Overall a well deserved 3 points👍🏻
Thought first have it was very laboured, but once ahead great move to go to 4 at the back.
Walton are pretty poor but they are part time, the club has a very limited budget and step 3 to step 2 is a world of difference nowadays (plus we've taken 2 of their best players off them)
Wood had his best game for us I thought.
I am certain we can play a lot better than that (particularly at home) as well when given a proper rigorous test by stronger oppo.
That £300 at The Weir lasted an hour which surprised me. Really odd having no beers available in the ground.
Very good main stand but precious little else in the ground in terms of where to watch the game from with all the flat standing
At least it wasn't segregated so that fans could choose where to watch from.

@magik Ive not listened to it yet, could be aimed at the ref as it looked like at FT he wasnt best pleased when speaking to the officials. We picked up some cheap yellow cards
Maybe not ^
4 subs were made at half time, Nikaj Rutherford Pinchard and Lewis we all assumed it was with one eye on Mondays game against Truro
As said, decent enough performance and happy to come away with a good scoreline. Difficult conditions in the wind,but glad the rain held off.
Pleased for Alfie with the goal- the partnership with Nikaj needs some more work but they did link up ok a few times. Great to see Pinch back out there and love watching him carry the ball forward.
Wood I think was the best player and definitely his best game for us so far- top goal too.
Popped into the Weir for a drink around 1.30, weren’t many in there at the time. Absolute pain getting out the car park. If we go there again i won’t stay and clap 😂
Nice also to see Charlie Carter in the away end second half
Great result. W&H are probably the worst team in the league at the moment by some distance. Yet, Can only beat who is in front of you so pleased we took care of business.
Truro on Monday is a sneaky big game..!

Parked up at about 12 and got row 1 space 1 as close to the exit as possible!
Learned that tactic from being stuck at the back end of the Tonbridge Angels car park for nearly an hour once!
