v Dorking Wanderers

[Curtis]

It was a fantastically entertaining, end to end, edge of your seat match, and a very big three points for us.

Dorking are a very good side (when we were 2-0 up they still looked dangerous & capable of getting at least a draw) but got caught out overplaying on our third goal.

Marc Whites post match interview now on Dorkings main site " Slough 100% deserved to win the game"!

I have to admit I didn't use to like Marc White stemming back from about ten years ago but over the last few seasons I now quite like the fella.

What a brilliant game superb football by both teams goals misses certain goal kicked off the line their goalie managing to kick another certain goal round corner of the post what about the stonewall penalty that was denied for us in the 2nd half.

And a crowd of 1047 hope alot of those will be returning on a regular basis.

Excellent entertaining game and a thoroughly deserved win.

Another blistering start from us with Amartey scoring in the 2nd minute via a deflection.

Then goal of the game from Oggy to put us 2 up followed by a miss from Slavi when rounding the keeper only to see his effort cleared of the line which would have given us a comfortable 2 goal cushion at half time.

The rest of the half Dorking looked a good side dominating possession without getting an equaliser.

Second half we were much the better side but it was a story of a host of missed chances from us and what looked like a stonewall penalty turned down all of which would have made the scoreline more emphatic.

Overall a superb win and a great night's entertainment.

A couple of points to try to clear up.

Kweku Lucan was on the printed team sheet but not in the starting squad line up.

Hopefully not a sign that he's off to pastures new.

No sign of Johnny Goddard?

Must say this rule where player is offside yet you have to wait 5 minutes before Linesman puts his flag up this is where players pull up with injuries while trying to get back unecassary needless.

The rule should be changed.

Couldn't agree more.

We had one at Slough Heating a few weeks ago, our player ran from the half way line, no flag and got mullered by the keeper and had to go off.

Official then puts his flag up saying he was just offside as he got the ball....🤷‍♂️

Goddard had a prior arranged something on before he re-signed for us so that explains him.

I thought it was all to do with VAR?

Not sure why it's being done at non league level.

Does anyone have the attendance and a guess at how many away supporters there were Thanks

I reckon 100 ish behind their goal and some more scattered about so probably somewhere between 100/150.

Not bad for an away support on a Tuesday evening.

Just watched the highlights and imo a definite push on Slavi for a penalty.

Also the quality and length of our highlights seem to have improved immeasurably.

Also have to say Gary Thomas as a stand in commentator has done a pretty decent job.

Same. He actually seems to be a very reasonable chap these days!
