Torquay United vs Dorking Wanderers (VNLS game 4) - August 24th 2024

[TQ1er]

Fantastic win. All about getting momentum this time of season.

I’d love to see the away terrace open to him support if the crowds keep coming. Always looks a bit sad scoring in front of an empty stand. Must give the lads a huge life when attacking a stand full of supporters

[standupsitdown]

Yes, I forgot the say, the ref was excellent.
Got decisions right and didn't keep stopping the game as so many do.
Don't suppose he'll stay in this league for long.

Massive win this against a very tough opponent.
I was concerned at the lightweight Ash and Seymour forward line and still don’t believe they are an ideal pair together.
Much prefer the muscle of Coady but appreciate with a Monday game it’s a squad game. Wotts got his subs spot on and at the perfect time. Ed Palmer outstanding everyone played there part. Big well done to 1 and all.

Yeah Mox , spot on . I thought to myself at half time. When was the last time I thought - against a decent side that we are not going to fold . But , we have the work ethic with decent bench options that could see us through tough moments in games
I am loving this new era. Such a breath of fresh air.
Hasani ,Palmer and Dreyer were outstanding.

Interesting interview with Marc White. Worth a listen to. Very decent about us as a club which was good to hear and probably right about them deserving something from the game. Dorking were good…we’re going to get better. The return fixture will really show us where we are. They weren’t good enough at their possession type game today and teams will figure them out. We’re solid direct resilient and tough. Hoping to see a quality loan or two before Christmas. I really enjoyed today. Great atmosphere, two very different teams giving it everything and two managers who have teams in their own image. Stuff the Premier League bollocks, this is the real thing.

Anyone know if the match is on dazn? Is there a reliable link to the schedules?

Late to this now, but, no, they're not showing any NLS games unless it's outside of the UEFA rule 48 windows. That's usually when there's an international game on (meaning no prem/championship) or midweek.

When rule 48 says it's ok to broadcast, they'll show "selected" NLS/N games, not all. In practice it's likely it'll be our game each time because to my recollection they always have; presumably because we have a bigger fanbase.

Thanks for this detailed explanation. It's clear. Better get ourselves promoted in this case.....

I agree the ref had a good game but why did he keep stopping play for injuries
I thought the guidance was to only stop play for head injuries

[DerekDawkinsJnr]

Marc White - the Dorking gaffer (founder, owner, chairman, former player and manager) - had some kind words for us at the end and gave us due respect for the W.

He's a genuine and likeable fella tbh. Has a bit of a social media presence. Makes this league more interesting.

Worth watching his interview after their 2-1 win yesterday, could never imagine a Tq manager using that many F words in an official interview, plus calling the Away supporters D heads. Great stuff.

[AdrianC]

Nearly as many F’s as John Sitton in that Leyton Orient documentary years ago. No way can you see PW doing that in an interview!

Does DWTV have an 18 certificate
