6300 plus change with 400 plus from Southend.

I didn't see it. Went for a pee.

Worldie by Hudson!

After the Dorking game, this is currently dour.

It's been embarrassing for 15 years with all due respect to Gordon. Roy needs shooting. The other one needs to be given the gun with two bullets.

Today, our main rival will be mostly being Southend.

4-1 FT Chesterfield's 11 game losing sreak has begun...

4-1 Run out!

Never mind the game. Keep the camera on the Dorking Physio!

Great stumping! 3-1

Do the Bender Do the Bender Do the Bender

Ha! I thought the same. When Dorking scored their second, I swear I heard a Howzattt?

2-1 booo

Just seen the best tackle since 1975 by Barry Fuller. Took the ball cleanly, the man (Berry) brutally and just got up and jogged off Dorking are by far the better side. Marc White said that they need to score 3 or 4 to stand any chance. Should be that already!

2-0

Fun fact: Dorking have never been relegated!

Edit: 39 year old Barry Fuller leading the line for Dorking.

Dorking 1 up v Chesterfield. Should really be 3. Dorking peppering. Fantastic first 11 minutes.

This. 100%. It's all about expectation. Effectively, we have given the rest of the league a 12 game start. 9 games under Unsworth, of which, there was one win and 3 free hits. Under the circumstances, what Mellon has achieved post Unsworth is nothing short of remarkable. We were not a team of world beaters under performing where any manager could have walked in and turned them around. We were and still are a team of misfits, rejects and average Joe's. The exception being Garner. Four in six is an excellent return. His positioning and finish at Maidenhead were superb and his close control and execution at Eastleigh were a joy to watch. Reminds me of Roger Palmer at his best. The expectation is that we perform at home as we did at Eastleigh, Maidenhead and Barnet. We don't. We do not exactly batter the opposition away from home for the first 15-20 mins. Although it's a far cry from Southend! We appear to work out their formation run a fast pressing game and then work the space it provides to our advantage. We then play a higher line which makes it difficult for the oppo to get back into it. We do do similar at home. However, invariably, we find ourselves a goal down during this time as the opposition runs at us and we are always chasing. Back to Southend. This weekend's opponents. The expectation based on recent home performances, is that we will lose. However, MMs apparent ability to polish multiple turds with the same brush gives me hope. We tend to play it out the back through Hobson, followed by a long diagonal ball for Kitching to run on to. Ordinarily, it amounts to nothing. At this point, our entire left side is exposed, the midfield get sucked in to cover leaving a huge hole behind. The opposition just strolls right through. Hobson is then sucked in and they are round the back. Simple and very effective plan. Maybe we should play our 20 minute away plan at home from the off? There was a lot of short, accurate crisp passing on Tuesday night; particularly for Garners second, so we are capable. We should study Chesterfield. They have had a few years to get it right. Now that they have, they are reaping the reward. Having said all of the above, I expect nothing less than 3 points and a convincing performance on Saturday.

Can we close this ridiculous thread and throw it into the vault?

Just finished watching the game again. We should have scored 6. It would also have been well deserved. It is the most balanced team performance I have seen all season. Credit Mcgoo. Played out of his skin(s).

Seriously, our penchant for conspiracies and finger pointing would have Mulder and Scully's ears pricking up.

Who did we need?
