They are fifth in the home form table, while we are fourth in the away table. They score more goals than us, but can give away plenty too.
Overall, they can be entertaining to watch because they play out from the back and like to attack. Shame then that Marc White presents as such a pain in the arse.
Would like to think that if we press them high in their own half, we have a chance and will be very surprised if it ends 0-0.

Dorking Wanderers were favourites for auto promotion.
They still are.
I seem to recall they do very well against the Stones.
Have we 'ever' beaten them.
Both teams are improving but with Wanderers coming off a win at Farnborough and playing at home, they have to be favourites again.

Until we get a partner for Blair, we have to face the reality that we will be lucky to score more than one goal in most games. And,if you are only putting one away, you are constantly at the risk of a defensive mistake, a lucky goal, a pen, or decent free kick ruining your day.
In the seventeen competitive games we've played this season, we have failed to score three times, and only scored once nine times. Only in five games have we managed to score more than one.
So, most games in the immediate future are going to be like that, no matter who against. Occasionally we'll be lucky, but mostly it's going to be hanging on to a 1-0 lead, or watching the points disappear.

I can see him in the National League after the transfer window . |

I agree we need a striker but i can’t agree with the summation that we are going to have to be lucky to score more than 1 or that games “in the immediate future are going to be like that”. We have been in much better form this past 3-4 weeks so I think you can look at that form rather than all season to draw a view in what we are likely to do going forward. |

When i heard that Bill was scouting at Ebbsfleet I half thought that we are looking for Blair’s replacement already 😊 |

But in January the EFL can raid the NL clubs who will then need replacements. |

Dawking Tuesday - Let's hope for black & amber fireworks.
But this team is yet another bogey team we play in succession so not very hopeful.

If the prediction league is anything to go by Stones have a ZERO % chance of winning the match.

As a famous Stones fan once said:
The only certainty is that nothing is certain.

When i heard that Bill was scouting at Ebbsfleet I half thought that we are looking for Blair’s replacement already 😊 Not sure who he would be scouting. Poleon and Bingham won't go. Thomas is new and starting to fire. Samuel is out with a broken leg, Odokonyero is out long term. That leaves our 2 out of favour left wingers Cundle and Randall. Neither of whom are NL standard. |
