Dorking away 04.01.20 match thread

A few tough games ahead of us this month, on paper at least, starting with Dorking tomorrow, but we're in good form so it should be a cracker.

South Western trains had better be back to normal now the strike's finished so a fairly local game this week for me.

Again, this is a game where we owe Dorking one after their win at PP, which was the first game in which TB and Skip took on after the departure of Coyle and Flanners.
This game I did see, and also one at which Steve King was watching and actually interviewing TB for one of the radio stations. Dorking came back to snatch a winner in the 3-4 result. They have continued to make progress this season, so the Darts will have to be at their recent best to put the Wanderers to the sword and to reduce the points gap. I understand their manager was involved in the formation of the club and overseen their progress through the leagues, hence him being named amongst the Managers of the Decade. Can't see SK wanting anything other than 3 points. I will be tuned in for the Twitter updates!!

Josh Hill's red card has been rescinded on appeal, so he will serve no suspension and is now free to play tomorrow.

That's good news (albeit unexpected). Maybe the ref had second thoughts in his report.

Just a heads up for travelling fans there are planned engineering works between Wimbledon and waterloo tommorow. Reduced train service and some replacement bus services. Check your route before you travel

Will T-Bon move to LB now that Gordon has been recalled by D&R, or would this upset the balance at the back? Tom’s been talismanic recently.

Good news about Josh. Now just a question of whether he is fit after coming off against Welling.

I don't think he came off because he was injured!! Sk obviously thought, like the rest of us, he'll be missing the next 3 x games!!

Really looking forward to tomorrow even though it will be a very tough game. I'm sure they will pose us more problems than some of our recent matches but i'm confident we can cause them a few problems as well. Difficult one to predict but i believe we can get a positive result.

Good that Josh has won his appeal although on the video evidence i don't see how it could have gone any other way.
Competition for places is getting better and by then end of January i believe we will have a good idea of how we will fair this season.
