    Enslin was my top tip to be making frequent appearances in the first team in 2026. Now NLS!

    My top tip from the previous batch was Jason Adigun. That did not work out too well.

    I think I will just stick to my day job. Sitting on a Caribbean beach with a Cuba Libre.

    These loan arrangements with Dorking aren't just one way, I hear.

    I thought Enslin was a real prospect but he's got nowhere near the first team recently.

    Hopefully, this is a kick-start for him.
    I know our midfield is one dimensional at time but not sure we should be loaning National League South midfielders!
    We do not want any Dorking players. They are chicken.

    We're looking at a young winger who came through the DW academy. He's been scouted by quite a few EFL clubs over the last few months.

    My Dorking Wanderers ST holder supporting mate has said their young winger is on trial with our under 21s, and there other winger has picked up a season ending injury. So Enslin will get lots of game time. He did say “he’ll get lots of game time until his inevitable season ending injury in 4 weeks time.”

    Casey is out for the rest of the season now which is such a shame for him.

    Assume that's the trialist that's been on the bench for the last few U21 games then

    Interestingly Marc said after the game for the first half they chose to switch ends (which they never do) purely because he wanted Kai in front of him, on the dugout side of the pitch to give instructions etc, then in the 2nd half Kai would have been on the opposite side of the pitch so he took him off early.

    Yes that's true. One of the coaches had the idea, MW dismissed it as he always does lol and then it sank in and he changed his mind. But I don't think that was entirely the reason for him coming off because the HT team talk was a lot about how much damage he could do in the second half. Honestly I think he just wanted more experience out there once they conceded.

    Nice stuff. Good to hear he looks a cut above at that level too.

    Looking forward to seeing him appear regularly in the videos in a few weeks time.

    One of his missed chances is 3 minutes in, does really well including knocking the ball over the defender but puts the chance wide of the post.

    Involved in quite a few highlights from yesterday, including winning the penalty.

    I raise you a Joshua Hebert.

    Looks very impressive.
