3 points tomorrow could put us right on the edge of the top 7.
I reckon 2-1 us with a crowd of 2050.

I don't expect the start to the match that we had last season (look it up if you weren't there) but they've got some good players and won't make it easy.
I'd expect us to win too, though - being so close to Christmas I'd be surprised if we break the 2000 mark.
With the teams above us having difficult fixtures a win should see us near to the playoffs.
Will be nice to welcome Charlie Carter back, and will be interesting to see how he has fitted in woth his new team.

When will SD and RH stop ruining this club? We don't deserve all these wins, and subsidised transport, its not on!

I didn't find it a great game to watch, but it was a good result and a deserved win. Now only out of the playoff places on goal difference.
Being positive you could argue that the team worked hard and looked pretty solid without Quigley and Boldewijn - big losses. We restricted their opponents to very little except in the last 10 minutes. I thought Langston impressed at the back again. McCallum scored again. Winning when not at your best is a good sign - we may be getting some consistency at last?
Being negative you could argue that the visitors overall were pretty ineffective, creating very little apart from the goal, so we made it hard work in the end. They may be in trouble if they don't find that cutting edge. Our first goal was due to them falling asleep at the back (credit to Maguire for the free-kick, though) and they won't be happy about conceding the second goal either. We seemed to lack ideas at times, the ball was moved forward too slowly, and Barlow and Maguire together didn't quite provide the spark.
Clampin coming on as a forward was an iteresting move, provided some entertainment and he looked quite lively up there too.
After Boldewijn did well as a forward too when needed, it looked like we have some hidden talents in the squad :-)
One of those where we're happy to take the three points - an important result.

Liked the look of Clampin up front when he came on but still can’t understand why Oscar is left out. Thought Jayden Harris had a good game and he was my MOTM. We didn’t look the same when he came off. What was the attendance?

First half was poor, indeed Dorking looked the better side for the first 30 minutes.
Definitely missed Quigley up front to partner Macca.
Much better second half and should have run out a comfortable win instead of hanging on with only a goal lead.
Clampin looked lovely up front and has pace but he’s no striker, missed a sitter and then did the hard work to get into another decent position to shoot and fluffed his lines again.
Overall we deserved the win.

How do fans feel about Bailey Clements? Loan up in Jan, i felt he didn't alot in the period around dorkings goal, didn't stick a leg on around 4 occasions to stop Blair crosses

We didn’t look the same when he came off. What was the attendance? agree with everything you have said Didn’t think putting Clampin up front was a good idea but actually had a couple of chances. Still don’t know why RH won’t play Rutherford. Todays game crowd out for someone with pace especially down the right |

Loan up in Jan, i felt he didn't alot in the period around dorkings goal, didn't stick a leg on around 4 occasions to stop Blair crosses personally I don’t don’t rate him. Very defensive and seems to play the ball backwards or sideways all the time. Never really runs at a player. Today especially could have done a lot more to stop the crosses coming in. I would have put Clampin at LWB and brought Rutherford on up top |
