[OS] NEXT UP | Dorking Wanderers (24/08/24 3pm KO)

Post by TorquayFans.com »

United return to Plainmoor tomorrow, as Dorking Wanderers come to town. Following Tuesday nights hard fought 2-1 win at Bath City, Paul Wotton’s men face another tough test as Marc White’s undefeated Wanderer’s come to the English Riviera.   Who’s the Boss? Image Marc White is the founder, owner and Chairman of the club and has been manager since 2007, overseeing and leading them to 12 promotions in 23 season from the 17th tier of English football to the fifth, when he led them to the National League for the first time in 2022. They survived their first season at the top table of non league football, but slipped to relegation last season making a return to the National League South. Player to Watch Image Jimmy Muitt is a midfielder and found himself on the scoresheet the last time the teams met in the National League here at Plainmoor in November 2022. The 28 year old came through the ranks at Brighton & Hove Albion before moving to Lewes in 2015. The following season saw Muitt at Bognor Regis, where he spent three seasons before in October of 2019 he joined Dorking Wanderers where he has remained since. Played for Both Image Rhys Murphy joined Dorking in May following the expiry of his contract at Yeovil Town. Murphy came through the ranks at Arsenal, having loan spells at Brentford and Preston before leaving the Emirates in 2012. The forward then played for Telstar in Holland, before two years at Dagenham & Redbridge s followed by a season at Oldham Athletic. Loan spells at Crawley and AFC Wimbledon came while at Boundry Park before he headed to Gloucestershire and Forest Green Rovers in 2016 where he stayed for two season, also having loan spells at York City back at Crawley and then to Plainmoor for three months in September 2017. Gillingham came next on a short deal, but his next two clubs (Chelmsford City & Yeovil Town) saw him score over 50 goals in less then 100 games for the teams over a three season period. Upon leaving Huish Park Murphy headed back to Essex, this time to Southend United for two years, before heading back to Huish Park last season as part of the team that helped the Glovers claim the National League South title. Previous Encounter Image Torquay United 3-3 Dorking Wanderers | Vanarama National League | Wednesday 9th November An evening of high drama ended with honours-even, as United produced another remarkable fightback to secure a 3-3 draw with Dorking. Winger Dillon De Silva got things going nicely with an early goal, however the Yellow Army’s hopes hit a setback just before the change of ends, as the visitors levelled things up through Nicky Wheeler just before the change of ends. Things got worse following the restart, as United conceded two goals in quick succession following the restart, with James McShane putting his side in front, and Jimmy Muitt then extending it shortly after. A second from De Silva restored faith in the home ranks though, and it was left to Mark Ellis to apply the finishing touch late on to cap yet another Plainmoor comeback.
