Dorking Wanderers form and stats

5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Dorking Wanderers playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League South this season.

180 minutes! That's how long the Dorking Wanderers goalkeeper Slavomir Huk and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Fa Trophy home defeat versus Fylde with 2-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game was the away Vanarama National League South victory against Hungerford Town with the score of 1-0.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Fylde was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Dorking Wanderers are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 24 times in 14 away games so far. For Dorking Wanderers, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
