Really struggling to see what team we can even put out. Seager might have to start on the wing if Briggs is injured.

Hopefully Bobby-Joe is back and can play at least a half. Tony Craig would be great to have back as well.

Do we think JP9 will be out for Tuesday? 
That means Ottaway up front with Seager I guess. 
Would be great to have TC back but to be honest Dan G has stepped up so well in his absence we haven’t actually missed him that much. 

It will no doubt be a close and tough game but our form on a Tuesdays has been fantastic

@miller09 I think JP will be fine as it was just a cut. He played on after it happened but it opened up again later in the game so had to come off. Cook was also a cut on the face so I would assume he would be ok for Tuesday as well.

McShane will be out at least a few weeks you would imagine and I don't think Briggs will make Tuesday. I wonder when McManus is back as he can at least cover the RW spot?

Muitt got 20mins for Bognor yesterday so hopefully he will be back in a few weeks! I'd have thought Fuller and Moore should be back for the FA Cup game as well.

Is there a reason why Matt Briggs isn't sent out on loan to regain his fitness like Alfie and Jimmy?

Good question - Briggsy just came back into playing 1st team games. Not sure what the difference is between him and Jimmy really.

@dorking-eagle Briggs had a full pre-season and played the first few games of the season so had a good base layer of fitness to come back on.

Muitt hadn't kicked a ball since end of last season so has no match fitness and can't really go straight in to a NL side.

We should have loaned out Briggs for a month when he came back from injury back in February though.

Yeah I agree with all of that. And Briggs is still having issues - at the end of Hartlepool game he was very 'tight' apparently. Had it not been for 3 other injuries he may have been subbed before the end of the 101 minutes.

Didn't see that performance coming let alone the result (neither did the Shaman lol)

Racked my brains to come up with 4 candidates for the Man of the Match poll, but feel free to mention anyone of note that I have missed off the list.

Hope it's a better performance in front of the tv cameras on Saturday, what a disjointed performance, but I guess the depleted squad has finally caught up with us.

To their credit, Kidderminster were bright, hardworking and had plenty of shots right from kick off and deserved the 3 points.

Very disappointing result but can’t argue with the score line - a game too far for the squad but hopefully some of them will be back for the TV game against an in form Barnet on Saturday 

We go again and really good response from the crowd for the team at the end tonight too #Wanderers 👏👏

Last 20 mins the Dorking fans on The Bank were making a right racket trying to suck it in the net, wasn't to be. Seeing the stream of 1st team players exit the Stonegate stand brought it home just how bad an injury crisis we are still in the middle of!

Didn’t see that one coming at all.  Team looked tired and second to the ball - maybe too many games and too many injuries.  

Can’t see why Kiddy have struggled so much - they look a decent team and could have scored more.  Great effort from the Bank yes - almost helped force an equaliser at the end there.  Let’s hope some cavalry are back on Saturday.

Yes, second to the ball too many times, Kiddy looked sharper, quicker and more determined, especially first half. Must be the missing players, players in the line up not actually ready to return, some playing out of position and others just too tired. Being part time not helping again either.

Could have snuck it second half mind - Prior should have scored and we hit the underside of the bar - that would have been our own 'smash and grab'!

A really dissapointing performance that was up there with the Maidenhead game earlier in the season. Very much seemed like a case of all our effort going in to those away wins last week and having nothing left in the tank for tonight. Lost every single second ball against a team who looked like they wanted it way more.

Our home form is actually a bit concerning as we've lost/drawn with some really poor teams at home this season already. Makes me nervous for the Barnet game!

On the subject of injuries, it really seems odd to me that we haven't looked at some short term loans. We should have been looking at bringing a winger in for a month the second that Bowerman/Bobby-Joe got injured in the same game. Kidderminster have had injuries and are a good example of using short term loans well in the form of Bailey Hobson who scored last night. I also think we need to look at a long term succesor to McShane as we look very short creatively without him in the side and we have no direct replacement in the squad.
