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.6 -
We do not want any Dorking players. They are chicken.fenaddick said:
I know our midfield is one dimensional at time but not sure we should be loaning National League South midfielders!Henry Irving said: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.1 -
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.fenaddick said:

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.7 -
Assume that's the trialist that's been on the bench for the last few U21 games then5

DW are down to about one senior winger, and he's nursing a strain. Kai played for 50-odd minutes last night and looked ridiculously above this level, although he was hooked soon after trying to score from the half way line.RugbyAddick said: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.

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.4

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.stackitsteve said: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.6 -
Nice stuff. Good to hear he looks a cut above at that level too.JiMMy 85 said:

Looking forward to seeing him appear regularly in the videos in a few weeks time.0 -
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.

Looks very impressive.3 -
In the NLS team of the week.

They couldn't get near him last night. His best game so far. His crossing is excellent, he's too quick footed for the defenders at this level - I think the only thing he needs to improve is his finishing!7

From what I've seen via live streams, he's definitely worth the nomination.Scoham said:https://www.olbg.com/community/dorking-wanderers-potm

Bless his cotton socks !1 -
Hopefully this loan going well will help him get another next season at a higher level.

He’s a very talented player, surprised he hasn’t been involved more for the first team1

I have a feeling he will be one of a few youngsters we have that will not be here next season but go on to gave a good career in football. Hope I am wrong though. EDIT in the sense I hope they have a good career for us 🤣Covered_End_Lad said:He’s a very talented player, surprised he hasn’t been involved more for the first team0 -
He's being coaxed through the games a lot even if they do rate him highly. They switch ends at kick off to get him on their side in the first half if they can. At Daggers he wasn't playing high and wide enough and that drove them a bit mad. He destroyed the full backs at Chelmsford and Ebbsfleet, and Torquay too I think. He's getting better every week!3

Yes there's a step up physically, but I would expect any of our youngsters to stand out at NLS level, especially aged 20, if they are to have a chance of breaking through in the Championship or even L1, as the gap between the leagues is enormous.
In the Championship it's really hard for youngsters to break through, when you consider that players like Karoy, Kanu and Z Mitchell are unlikely to feature much for us next season.1
