Was there any singing or chanting ? Did say that Dorking were not to be under estimated, very good side, Prior up front a proven goal scorer on a fat wage packet

We were awful today. No fight. I’d rather have stuck my knob in a pencil sharpener than watch our attempt at resemble a football team.
Khan is useless and finally been found out. Any form of promotion is rightfully where it belongs, forgotten. Why? The entire application of the side was woeful

Totally agree Khan offers nothing in midfield just a totally luxury player with no quality ,our wing backs don’t go forward so no supply to the forwards. We are a team of bits parts that doesn’t gel still and certainly lacking in quality time to ship a few out now !

I wasn’t there so basing this on what others have said.. Khan was in the National South team of the week last Saturday, but appears to be all or nothing! A wise person once said “the difference between professional players in the football league and non league players is mostly consistency” no idea who said that but it appears to be very true. If we can find consistency each week we really could be up there, BUT for all the talk of the management about people knowing their jobs and being professional well I wouldn’t want to be on the end of the after game debrief with HH and JS2!! I think anything other than top 5 will be an under achievement by our club, but I think we can still manage it.

We are a team of bits parts that doesn’t gel still and certainly lacking in quality time to ship a few out now ! You cannot afford to ‘carry’ a player at any level if you want to compete. I agree about Khan, he’s been very hit and miss so far and more often than not he is a ‘miss’. We STILL offer very little in midfield. The defence seems to have a pretty firm foundation, and up front I think we could be half decent at this level IF we had a strong enough midfield to supply the forwards. And that’s where the problem lies. We don’t have midfielders that (a) protect the defence and (b) create poppy for our attackers. They don’t do either really. And you cannot always rely on the attackers being able to work their own openings.

Seems that most supporters concerns about the team from early doors in the season has been midfield. Just not strong enough all round with decent performances now and then but little consistency. Pretty sure that our dynamic duo will have recognised this and a couple of places are likely to under threat. There's no point in having talented attackers and solid defenders if we have soft under belly in the middle of the park. No chance of the play offs with any more performances like today.

Anyone know what the trouble at the end was all about? Two managers sent off - in the NS??! All sounded very confused on SL. Wishart shepherded the ball out into our dugout for a throw to us. Dorking player picked up ball and Mr Still objected. Mr Still tries to grab the ball and Dorking player goes down.
Dorking bench get ansty and, allegedly, spray water towards Mr Still. Hakan gets in the middle. Big melee, ref maintains his performance of having no control and blows his whistle a lot.
With less than 20 seconds left a sensible referee might have blown for full time and walked off. This one consults both assistants then books Dorking player, presumably for timewasting and, as its his second yellow he gets the red as well. One of the Dorking management team then gets a straight red as does Hak. Mr Still gets a yellow.
I'm not sure the ref got any of the bigger decisions wrong, and none that affected the result, but overall his refereeing was not very good.
Cheers. Sounds even madder than it did on SL! Spraying water? Is that a football thing these days?

Really got taught a lesson today by a very good Dorking team who are deservedly in the play offs. Dorking played with a lot of pace and created lots of chances, once again MUFC full backs too tucked in which gave space to Dorking wide midfields coming forward, the best of those being the # 15 Briggs, who got himself sent off in the fracas at the end with the Maidstone bench. Positives ? Swapping Pennell at half time for Knight was a good move - Pennell looked much more assured at Centre Back than his earlier spell as full back. Concerns ? Nothing sadly from the centre midfield, Edwards didn't do enough...... Teams will beat Dorking if they are able to put them under pressure, on the occasions we did that they looked decidedly iffy and worried at the back, but we didn't do enough of that and lost battles all over the pitch. Great report Porky - from an amateur bystander? Barrow won today!. Francoise sends regards COYS.

Beaten by the better team, they had a lot of good attacking out wide both sides which caused us no end of problems, as has been aluded to we started off well and deservedly took the lead, but after that initial 8 minutes or so we were second best.
I thought Buchanan took his goal well but as hakan said we gave him the space and time to do so. We had too many wayward passes and i think knight and nana will be spoken to by the management team as Imo these two have struggled last few games.
Watched the second half stood amongst the dorking fans who seemed a nice bunch, just before the big cuddling session they mentioned that it was nice to see a game where both teams kept all 11 players on the pitch. They also pointed out that their manager/owner is a pillock sometimes and is often sent off a few times each season. The reason i stood amongst them was some of our fans being first class fuckwits with even the most basic of the rules of the game.
Their penalty stonewall, George's booking correct decision the ref had let him have his say but carried on to far, chesman booking again decent officiating it was a foul but played the advantage and then at the next stoppage in play showed Noah the yellow card.
As for the cuddling session near the end, the balls gone out for a throw to us, their player has grabbed the ball and tried to walk off wasting time, still grabbed the ball and pulled it away from their player who then fell to the floor as though he was some premier league prima donna, still has then stood over him and had a go at the play acting, their owner/manager has then squirted water over still and hakan went after their manager/owner and then everyone on both benches and the pitch gather around in close quarters whispering sweet nothings to each other, whilst a prick in a white t-shirt stood behind their dugout whacking the side of it (one of our fans) asking out someone on their team out for a fight, it's a shame the gobby prick didn't get slapped back into his place. Still and their player who tried to delay the game were both rightly booked (it was their players second yellow so he was off) and both hakan and their manager/owner were sent off, there was another little skirmish at the tunnel as well. All very sad and pathetic from both sides, neither one coming out with any class.

Panic button is in the post to you Nick. Yes today was disappointing and midfield needs strengthening maybe even with a change in formation but this doesn’t mean we are suddenly all doomed. We just underestimated the newly promoted team and underperformed. When you are mid table pushing for a play off place this happens-why is everyone panicking? Hak and John will be more annoyed than all of us and will put it right. Have faith!

We started off well and took the lead and then thought the job was done. For the remaining 80+minutes were not good . Our midfield was atrocious. Clovis was that effective he might as well been on top of the nearest hill. Khan was embarrassing . Kwei well the only thing I can say is get rid of the useless c**t NOW. Our midfield was abysmal ,non existent and we were run ragged by a team 10 times better than us on one third of the budget. They had the skill and the will to win we had nothing. It is absolutely ridiculous that our first show of passion came from the management on 92 minutes. If we play like this next week then you can kiss a cup run goodbye because Cheshuntwull come with desire something we lacked badly today.
