So against a team who'll park the bus we go as narrow as we possibly can?

Dover haven't won a game yet but seem like they're getting harder to beat - only conceded 2 in their last 3 games. People might need to be patient and stick with them on Saturday as seems some think it should be a guaranteed 3 points juat for turning up.


Reads like they're parking the bus, 1 keeper & 10 players on the goal line. Definite win but as you say we may have to be more patient than we think.

Think we need to get a reality check fellas. We are getting too big for our boots, and football has a habit of bringing you back down to earth. If the players take the same attitude you are, then this game has got "upset" written all over it. If god forbid,  they take the lead, then the atmosphere can quickly  go toxic and players start to panic. Patience is the key.

The worry for me is not so much the Dover game, but the games after that.

If we go into those without Efete and Sousa, we are very much diminished. Our right hand side has been the best feature of the team in an attacking sense so far this season.

It's galling that both players were physically assaulted on the pitch by the sound of things, but we were the ones who got punished in more ways than one.

To be honest, it's not been like that this season. I think that most fans now believe we can still win a game if we go behind.

I'm with you Les. Listening to last night on the radio all I heard was the Town fans cheering on the team, in the rain.

Nothing toxic could be heard over the radio, so why should the subject be mentioned? First defeat in 8, were going to lose some games and given the massive advantage, Bromley have playing on that pitch for half their games, they will probably win many home games. I believe that's what happened with Sutton last year.

Let's get behind the Team for the Dover game, and ignore such negative comments.

I suppose if we have a winless run, and that is quite conceivable, things might begin to turn. But judging by the reception the team got at the end of the match last night, despite the result and the miserable soaking we got, there’s a LOT of credit in the Bank of Patience.

(You could say there was plenty of liquidity 😉)


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

We need to find a way. Suspensions, injuries, loss of form....this is why we have twenty odd players. Not trying to stir any kind of argument, but is Wright unavailable?

Dont think it will be as easy as some seem to think on saturday.. We seem to give a lot of chances away at the back . they only need to sneek one and park the bus and we will have a struggle on our hands with the two missing players. Boy could we do with a vernham  type player  in the squad
