Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
We're on the road again as we look to keep the good away form going after 3 away wins from our last 4 in the league. Kidderminster currently sit in 22nd place in the table but are one of the form sides in the league with 4 straight wins since Phil Brown took over.
With no obvious injuries from Tuesday night, you would imagine the Dorking side will look fairly similar once again. Marc mentioned last week that Alfie Rutherford could return for this one and while Fuller was expected to return at the weekend, we have not seen him in the squad for either Halifax or York.
Predictions:
Kidderminster 1-1 Dorking (Prior)
3,016 (134 away)
Male
Francomb Craig Hollis B.Taylor
McManus J.Taylor Pybus Blair
Carter
Prior
Subs: Cook, Gallagher, Moore, Ottaway, Rutherford
Expecting an unchanged lineup for this one although if we do decide to go with a back 3 then I can see Bobby playing on the wing with Otts or Rutherford up top.
No idea where else best to put it, but one small snippet - in todays Dorking Ad, Marc said that they have no plans at all to replace Ross McNeilly - already have enough coaches as it is.

@dorking-eagle Makes sense. It's been hinted at for some time, and it did seem very heavy on the 'management team' side of things...
We haven't had a draw for ages, but think we can get one and with a similar team and shape to the York game
1-1 and would love Prior to get a scrappy one or a header to get him going on a run

Marc's update suggests Rutherford and Fuller should be fit for this. No mention of the injured wingers - Bowerman, Muitt and Briggs.
Am not too optimistic as we have not won 2 on the spin all season I think for some reason. And Kiddy are on fire. But great to see Alfie back and if he gets some service, who knows? Would be good to see a right winger back too …

Marc told the Dorking Ad (this week's back-page) that Bowerman was three weeks away (as of last Saturday) with a hamstring injury
Sorry but can only see a home win today,
I would like to see Marc have the team play the same way as Tuesday, be hard to beat and you never know.
Agreed 👍 .. and will be even greater if we have a home win on Saturday v Ebbsfleet
A draw and a solid performance which we can build on

Game wasn't easy on the eye, but our players really grafted and I believe deserved a point.
Considering we played Tuesday night also away and got a win there, then 4 points against teams around/below us is a great week
Thought the ref was poor, 3 bookings in the 1st half alone, think he was obsessed with little things, saw Kiddy punished for a foul throw (!!!), let it go when 2 corners weren't taken within the quadrant etc
We didn't half waste time at the end though, but got it over the line (just)
Would happily go there again next season, proper stadium, noisy cavernous away terrace, loads of places to eat and drink a short walk away, and must get there in time to do a steam train ride too
(never even found the carpet museum!)

Yep, great point there and a really resilient performance. Could be the model for next few games while missing forwards - even at home.
But would be good to see Alfie on the pitch again from the start
Happy with the point. Not a lot of danger upfront, thought for a second we were going to get another 0-1 with an outside of the 20 yard box screamer. Playing a back 4 feels it is the way for the rest of the season. However, with McManus picking up a (hopefully) little injury. Does BJT go out wide, and Cook takes his place at lb?
'Anti football' and 'couldn't watch that every week' according to some Kiddy fans on Twitter! Was it really that bad?
But needs must at the moment - without 5 attacking potential first teamers.
Great point and clean sheet.
