Should be a decent crowd in today by all accounts, rain clearing up.

2-1 home win , goals from JP and Muitt

For some reason I don't fancy us today. Never works out well when we rile up the opposition on Twitter.

They did lose one of their best players, Pendlebury, this week though. 

Dorking 1-1 Farnborough (Carter)

1,555 att.

I imagine it will be the same team as last week but Rutherford in for Young.

I’m going 3-2 Dorking but having to miss it today 

Dorking to win this 3-1 (Muitt, Prior and Carter)

@calvertskans Good call. Agree on the winding up bit - they were most definitely up for this one, despite really having nothing to play for.

Marc on Twitter saying it was their cup final probably didn’t help. Kuhl was excellent for them, knew he’d have a good game. Still think it’s a shame we let him go

Picking up on Tom's point (on 'X') - what are everyone's thoughts on our performances over the past few games.

Personally, I think we've not played great since Salisbury, grinding out 2 results in difficult games, but yesterday felt different. We've not been outplayed (second half) like that for a very long time. 

Is there a deeper reason? I agree with Marc that we seemed tired second half which is a bit strange - some players faded quite badly - and we just couldn't cope with the pace which made me think of some of the NL games. Only Jimmy, Harrison, Alfie and Josh Taylor came out of yesterday with any real credit (we looked way poorer once Alfie came off).

Is our defence too old, too many games, wrong tactics, too intense a period and we're now paying for it? Or just one of those games.

Welcome your views!

I would go as far to say that was the worst home performance I've ever seen from Wanderers. Althought we've obviously had worse results, I don't remember seeing us played off the park like that ever at Meadowbank. We were very fortunate to come away with a point which is a crazy thing to think considering we were 2-0 up and cruising after 20 mins. 

As @adeb said though, we've not played well since Salisbury and in fact I would say Salisbury and maybe Slough were our only good performances in 2025 so far. I was surprised to see so many people disagree that we played poorly against Welling and Tonbridge. The only difference between those games and yesterday was that Farnborough actually had some quality in their side and are capable of creating chances and scoring goals.

Not playing well is fine if you can keep grinding out results, which is what Maidstone did when they beat us to the title a couple of years ago but with so many teams pushing for the title this season, we can't afford to keep putting out performances like that, especially at home.

Muitt and Foulkes were the only positives from the game along with the 2100+ crowd which was great to see. Hopefully the decent weather stays now and we can see 1600+ crowds every home game.

Will be interesting to see who plays midweek as certain players definitely need some minutes (where was Brooking yesterday?!) and some players clearly need a rest. 6 points from Enfield and Chelmsford now an absolute must if we want to stay in the title hunt.

@calvertskans What are your thoughts on the reasons, Tom? I agree the second half was a real concern, we couldn't get a foot in.

And yes, where is Mr Brooking - we really could do with him right now.
