Next up Wealdstone at home on Tuesday night (7.45pm)

Let's pack out Meadowbank and make that special atmosphere that has seen us on a long unbeaten streak under our lights on Tuesday nights!

Poll above to gauge the mood !

@dorking-eagle definitely up to 12th, during the game we were 16th than 15th and when the game ended we were 12th.

Strange he went with a back 4 but right decision. 

Great goals. Onwards and upwards.

Loved that game, especially the first half when we looked, at times, unplayable. Seb was outstanding for 2 of the goals, pace was like the Dorking of a season and a half ago - confidence was back too. 

And the noise from the bank was incredible - non stop last 20 mins, even louder than normal and I don't know many NL clubs that make a constant racket like that!

Anyone know the attendance btw?

Seen that number shared, although match report now saying 1389

Don't think a huge number of Wealdstone fans in attendance although I can't see how many are in the away standing shelter from my seat in the Stonegate Stand.

Home attendances do feel like they have taken a little bit of a knock from last season, although it could be the impact of playing 2 home games in 5 days? 

Hopefully the good results and the better league position encourages a few more to come out and support on Saturday

@dorking-eagle I think this Saturday will be a good sign of how attendences are as it will be the first Saturday home game since the kids went back to school and summer holidays finished. We also haven't had any big away followings at Meadowbank yet (other than Southend). Rochdale tweeted that they've cancelled their supporters coach for the game though, so we may see another small-ish away support.

Oh, that's not good news.

They were however charging £50 for adults and £48.50 for under 16's (wow big discount lol) for their coach which is vastly different to the £25 flat fare which our fans are incredibly lucky to enjoy no matter how far away our trips are. (Subtle hint - still lots of seats to fill on our coach to Hartlepool and £25 IS a bargain)

@dorking-eagle yes maybe a small drop off but not a nice evening and still a school night so all in all pretty decent. I think many others in the NL would have had similar or less for a midweek game v Wealdstone, so I think it's a really good effort.

Took a photo - counted 49 Stones fans.

Really enjoyed the game last night. Back to some open free-flowing football. Could have been lots more goals at both ends. Not sure that is what Marc wanted - but it was entertaining! 

Have to say that at the time I couldn't understand the subs he made. I thought Kuhl was perfect to come on when Dan dropped back in place of TC (hope he is ok) and Blair was playing really well - but maybe he was knackered. But what do I know? After first 15 minutes of second half they got going again and saw out the game pretty well.  Much more aggression in all the challenges too. Much good stuff to build on there.

I assumed at the time that TC went off because of the yellow he picked up but sadly it's an injury. Hope it's not serious, the defence has been really strong lately.

Dan Pybus seems like he has got the MOM poll win and very well deserved… he has slotted into the team really well 👏👏🐔⚽️
