Preview: Dorking Wanderers

Steve McKimm takes charge of his first match as Slough Town manager at Arbour Park on Saturday, as the Rebels host Dorking Wanderers in a 3pm kick-off.

Dorking Wanderers arrive in SL2 sitting 10th in National League South, having won four and drawn five of their opening 11 games.

Marc White’s side have been an entertaining watch so far this season, with 40 goals having been scored in their matches, including consecutive 3-3 draws against Billericay Town and Chelmsford City and a 4-3 home win against Braintree Town. Dorking’s last two matches have both been against Dover Athletic – a 1-1 draw in National League South followed by a 3-2 defeat in The Emirates FA Cup.

Last Saturday, the Rebels fell to a home defeat against Horsham, having been reduced to ten men in the first half whilst leading through Ruben Shakpoke’s early strike.
