One or two ex Dorking F.C. players in the line up.

 

No score shown on their twitter page as of 3:30 pm.

Much better performance today against a good Dorking side.

 

First half was pretty even with both teams having a few chances. Second half our superior fitness stated to show and we were just about the better team.

 

The referee was terrible and I have a feeling he only gave the penalty at the end due to us supporters behind the goal screaming for it.

It was a stone wall penalty.

 

Three players stood out for me today; Adam Martin, Nathan Webb and Guy Hollis.

Guy was solid at the back and got back to make some good last minute tackles. Adam and Nathan were just too good for Dorking and they made the difference.

 

 

Only negative was Ed Smith needing to come off in the first half due to his hamstring injury, hopefully it isn't too bad but he will miss a few games at least.

Enjoyed todays visit to a well set up little club in stunning surroundings.

 

I think we got the result we deserved, however the ref made it very hard to judge due to his constant misreading of the game and missing of crucial incidents.  I hope his assessor marked him correctly and gets him back to Sunday park football.

 

We had far more chances and shots on goal than of late and it was through some good saves that we failed to get on the score sheet.

 

The big one in the first half had those behind the goal split over if it went in or not.

 

The pen was deserved as the 4 had his arm up and away from his body/head and it stopped the ball coming in front of the goal.

 

Dorking had some chances but not with any accuracy.

 

Will be interesting to see who we draw for the next round.

Yes excellent result.   Well done to all the lads. Who will we get next round?  How about Kirkley and Pakefield from the Thurlow Nunn  Anglian Combination who beat our landlords today at Holloways Park 1-2  Another bonus is that our league opponents next Saturday will have a mid-week replay to face whilst we will be rested

Thoroughly deserved win today despite the Ref being pretty poor.

 

Could of gone in at half time a couple of goals to the good but their keeper made some excellent saves. From where I stood and because he was about to shoot I thought Ed Smith should have been awarded a penalty.

 

Second half we continued in the same vein as the better team but just couldn't score mainly due again to the Dorking keeper having a blinder of a game.

 

I thought all of our players had good games but the pick of the bunch has to be Guy Hollis who hardly put a foot wrong and was superb throughout.

Was a very pleasing performance after our poor midweek game.

 

We were clearly the better team.

 

Whilst still not a great performance their keeper saved them a couple of times.

 

Eddie went down easily and the decision could have gone either way.

 

Surprising for me to say but guy Hollis was mom easily for me.

I know the result is the most important thing.

Just how i feel and opinion but Playing narrow contained football does nothing for me whats our winger doing in the centre circle.

RebelDelaney, we played to make sure we didn't lose, hardly giving them a sniff of goal. I'd far rather we played conservatively than expansively in order to achieve the result in this situation............ and I would have taken the replay! Let's not forget this is a decent Step 4 side, unbeaten until today.

 

Guy Hollis MOM, honourable mentions for Adam Martin and Nathan Webb, but above all well done the team and managers.

 

Nice of their "heavy" to threaten to eject one of our supporters for "aggressive" behaviour (shouting at the ref presumably). No swearing involved either, soured the afternoon a bit. Certain there are better ways of dealing with a perceived problem.
