Pre-Match Thread Dorking Wanderers v Southend United, Tuesday 28th March, 19:45ko, NL

[Maroon Blue]

5 of us travelling from Billericay. Been to every game home and away, but going away for easter so will miss the next three. I said Saturday i was tired of football at the moment, such a different feeling from driving home from Torquay and before the Barnet game. Amazing how football does that to you. Will be back in time for Daggers at home and then Oldham away. Hoping tonight we get something, even a draw but it has a 1-0 defeat feeling again. Either way i would like Kev to change it up if he can an just go for it from the start.

Absolutely, a draw would halt the run of defeats BUT if we have any lingering remote chance of making the Top 7 and play-offs, need to go for it and try and claim 3 points

Anyone who thinks we can still make the play offs is frankly the most optimistic fan.

Nothing in the performances from the last 6 games suggests that a win is coming anytime soon, let alone the multiple success wins required to give us a shout.

We have failed miserably at the last knockings and lack of transfers (embargo), shenanigans off the pitch and player uprising has massively effected the morale of the team.

Fwiw I can see us getting something tonight. Dorking are a poor team but if ever there was a time for them to play us, then tonight is that night.

Only has to go a foot either way and its in.

If my auntie had a **** shed be my uncle.

Its irrelevant. Those games have been and gone.

The fact remains. Lose tonight and we equal our record of successive defeats in the league. Not the football league. The national league. 7 straight defeats at this level for SUFC is criminal.

We then have the opportunity to go one better and create history at Yeovil.

That would give the current squad the unwanted mantel of worst team in our history.

Blimey Tommy, I'm laying in a hospital bed in Southend Hospital and you've cheered me up no end. The plan was to break out before tonight's game but I might just stay in for another night now.

IIRC Dorking have a decent playing surface but, before I book a stream of tonight's match for mater, any confirmation that the game will definitely go ahead?

Artificial pitch, Jake Hyde 'no go' territory.

 

[Rob1920]

We're going to get another point before the end of the season, of that I'm reasonably confident. I'm not so confident it will be tonight..

That's why its so good! Thank you sir.

Hospital beds in a hospital, who knew

Hope it's nothing too serious

I'll live mate, but there are some seriously ill blokes in here.

Wishing you well @RHB and hope you are soon home.

That doesn't sound at all good. I know it's a hospital but your always hope anyone in is for minor issues

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Come on you Shrimpers

There's all degrees of unwell in this ward, and mine is minor in comparison with some of them. It's a bed space thing I guess.

 

[Barry.C]

all the best RHB, get well soon
