Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
The final game of the season awaits, as we travel to Somerset this weekend to face promotion rivals, Weston-super-Mare. The Seagulls are one of the form teams in the league and sit just inside the playoffs in 8th place, 1 point behind us. A win for Dorking would guarantee at least 3rd place, whereas a point would guarantee playoffs. A defeat may also be enough if any of the teams below us drop points. A reminder that 6 of the top 8 teams face eachother this weekend.
Marc said in the weekly update that Jordan Norville-Williams is ruled out for the remainder of the season and that Pat Casey was also unlikely to return. The good news though is that Alfie Rutherford should be available once again and Jimmy Muitt is likely to return to the bench for this one. There was no news on the likes of McManus, Knight, Pybus or Liam Vincent.
Predictions:
Weston 2-2 Dorking (McCallum, Carter)
2,090 att.
Foulkes
Camp Francomb F.Vincent
Enslin Pinchard Moore Lewis

Subs: Knight, Sullivan, Sidwell, Muitt, Prior, Rutherford, Lawrence
Would be great to get something from this game, but really don't see it happening with our injuries. 2-0 Weston. Still think we will make playoffs though, due to result(s) from other games.
We surely can't continue to lose after being so dominant in most areas against Totton and Bath.
Weston 0 Dorking 1

Great to have Alfie and Jimmy back.
Also Marc said there’s been in excess of 500 sold so far so should be great backing for the lads.
I think it’ll be a 1-1 draw, Carter
Sorry to say, but I cannot see our shell-shocked players coming good on this one. 2-0 to Weston.
Sticking to my optimistic approach to the end, and expecting a reaction to the recent defeats, with the players throwing it all at Weston...
Weston SM (1) 2 Dorking W (0) 3 Carter 2, Rutherford

Tough game down there tomorrow. Will be tight, but can see us sneaking a 2-1 win. Camp and Carter with the goals
I'll have a Guinness
1-1
Weston are a good side and will be well up for this. Hoping for a great game in the sun, and I think we will squeeze through to the play offs somehow, but not expecting a result really. Weston 3 DW 1 (Carter).
Forever the optimist 1-2 to Dorking.
The rot must stop at some point?! Take a point in an exciting 3-3. Probably 3-1 up with 2 mins to go though!
Hope I’m wrong but after some wretched away form and maybe saving some nearly fit players for the playoffs, a 1-3 loss. Carter consolation
I’m going WSM 1 - DW 3 - Carter, Prior and Pearson.
Slightly more optimistic than AdeB 👍🏻
Dominant for long periods, on another day we win that, but the Wanderers Gods are saving it for the play offs
Diabolical away facilities, particularly in respect of womens toilets, which was a disgrace, I hope the club put in an official complaint
Food was cold when I bought it too

All in all one of the worst experiences this season, which insane as when its unsegregated it is really good
