Sousa obviously not quite recovered but good that he is on the bench. Injury not too serious.

First look at Sears.

Good selection - we have a stronger midfield with Sousa and the Shop ready to come on if needed. A good attacking formation

I had genuinly fogotten we had signed Sears and was wondering who would fill in at right back

Sousa fit enough to be in the squad fantastic news, going to be the key player this season.

442 or a lop sided 433?

4231 in attack, Clifton on the left.

Sort of Xmas tree:   4-1-3-1-1


maybe

You cowardly piece of excrement ref

Yellow for that foul, disgusting ref and sounds like the fans agree. Poor ref AGAIN.

Paul Marsden. Same ref as mansfield at home 2 years ago. He was woeful

Dagenham one down.

Daggers losing 1 - 0, win and were top. Patience needed I think.

Town penalty

Penalty

Missed

Time for a change of penalty taker methinks

time to take McAtee off penos now, thats 2 misses on the trot

Isn't that the 2nd one he's missed?

Time to change penalty takers. Anyone already thinking its just not going to be our day  ??)

Get in 1-0

Get in!

Waterfall header

Bapaga sounds ot be having a good game.

Goal 1 - 0 up and we're TOP

Get in !! Waterfall again.

GET IN WATERFALL!

I dont mind being wrong  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Quoted from Mayaman

Bapaga sounds ot be having a good game.

Yes linking up well with Taylor (says the commentary team)

Town are top as it stands.  UTM

We. are. top of the league!

2-0 that's better

2.0

McAtee redeems himself

McAtee a good player but maybe not penalty taker material?

MCATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

2 - 0  going up on the rampage.

Was the first goal from a Hunt corner?

* exiled without commentary *

Quoted from davmariner

McAtee a good player but maybe not penalty taker material?

But he can score 2 - 0 up

McAtee has already beaten last season's top scorer. If I am right, Pollock got 4 (no disrespect to him).

Fecking get in

We're going to run riot here.

Another Pen

What a game!

Who's gonna take it?

3.0 Town 😊

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL 3 - 0  and getting promoted  

Taylor makes it 3!!

Quoted from 137

Was the first goal from a Hunt corner?

* exiled without commentary *

I think so  :)

They shouldn’t have got us angry  ;)

Well I walked into the house at 3:25, checked my phone while the computer warmed up and saw it was 0-0
Typical conference, bus parking to$$ers etc etc.
Followed by a ten minute goal fest

Cant remember feeling this buzzing listening to a town game

Keep going lads keep scoring

Daggers equalise

2nd best goal diff now!

Just seen the penalty, a great penalty too, I saw my daughter going crazy in the main stand haha

Wrexum and Notts winning, Soufend losing and Phil Brown might need a new job! ;D

1-1 dag

Hope they don't take the foot of the gas.

Quoted from DB

Wrexum and Notts winning, Soufend losing and Phil Brown might need a new job! ;D

I don't think they can afford to sack him can they?

Opportunity for some goal difference padding.

Quoted from MarinerDevil

Opportunity for some goal difference padding.

Or resting players for two tricky away games in the next 7 days

4.0

BAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! 4-0!

GOAAAAAAAL 4 - 0

4-0

Bapaga gets his first goal for town

Bapaga having a cracker.  Get in there lad!!!

dag 2-1

Town have had their Weetabix  ;D

5.0

Fiver up

What a game so far! Referee completely bottled a stonewall red for them pulling down Taylor who is through on goal. Lit a fire under the fans which in turn lit a fire under the players who had the fans getting behind them. Bapaga has been immense, won two penalties and just scored because they are scared to tackle him in the box now. Dover have no idea what to do with him as he's so hard to tackle.

5-0 TAYLOR!!!

As I was writing on my phone we scored again so I missed it lol

PH's pep talk about not being complacent is working.

Anyone got the right H/T score on the POM?

Hurst out.. Should be atleast 6 at half time 😉

Literally just got back in to the caravan in the Cotswolds, going to tune in for the second half. I guess I've missed a few things 😂

Utfm!!!!

This is a special first half. Wow

The dover managers team talk at half time will go like ‘ let’s just go out there and win the second half ‘ 😂

Think this game is ours lads

Bapaga likes that ......

Hang on 5 ?????......tight hand side !!

Wow- can't even get a comment in !!

well prediction thread table will be interesting

What is happening?  My brain can't comprehend.......

Was the ref not sending off a player, the best thing to happen for us today?

It seemed to light a fire under the crowd and the players, historicaly we don't play well against 10 men and would Dover of changed their style of play and been able to keep us out.

I think most of us saw us winning today, but 5 nil at half time?

Bapa and McAtee (once again) are running the show.
Defence who were a little wobbly in opening 10 mins have stepped up
Midfield as always doing all the running up and down the pitch

WE WANT 10, WE WANT 10

That is absolutely brilliant. I don't know how you did it but you made me laugh. Gold star for you, and it should be post of the week.

LJL and Revan on for Taylor & McAtee???

maybe

Quoted from 137

LJL and Revan on for Taylor & McAtee???

Take Taylor and McAtee off by all means but no real need for any substitutes, 9 of us will do.

Quoted from 137

Isn't Revan a fullback?

How's the pitch looking in the rain? It couldn't could it?

3,this half and the pontoon buster is mine.

Two more goals to catch D&R GD.  Could mean the difference at the end of the season.

Nah, the colouring in wasn’t within the lines   ;D

Jason Stockwood tweeted that he was holding 7 Scotch eggs pre-game.

7-0 anyone?

Quoted from malkamalka

Imagine that 😂

Come on hurst, get Pearson on and see the game out 🙂

I'm sure I must have missed something but why are there only 23 teams in this league?

Quoted from 123614

Isn't Revan a fullback?

Can play left midfield too, I understand.

Plus we've loaned him and haven't given him much game time.

Quoted from buckstown

I'm sure I must have missed something but why are there only 23 teams in this league?

Macclesfield folded and there was no promotion/relegation between NL and NL N/S last season so it's still 23.  Will be 24 again next season.

I wouldn’t blame him for making a few changes

17 minutes without a goal.

Sort it out Hursts

They're all over us making us look silly now

So my 4-0 prediction was short of the mark!

Quoted from Ipswin

They're all over us making us look silly now

Oh no, Hurst out surely?

If only we had a 20 goal a season striker........ ;)

With Bapaga's goal , how many goal scorers this season?

Quoted from Davec

Oh no, Hurst out surely?

Absolutely He's had months to sign a striker, where does he think the goals are going to come from FFS?

Aldershot v Wrexham abandoned with Wrexham 2-0 up

Aldershot v Wrexham abandoned

6-0 Waterfall with his 2nd!!

and with that theres goes my Prediction thread score  ;D

6-0

We want a hat-trick

What happens there then?  Do they have to replay the full game?

Has Macca gont to maccies?  I ain't heard his name for ages.

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

6-0 Waterfall with his 2nd!!

and with that theres goes my Prediction thread score  ;D

Sweating now...I predicted 6-0.


I guess a few more wouldn't be too hard to take, though.

Waterfall again, 6 - 0 and the goal difference is looking good. Didn't somebody say Waterfall was an own goal player??????????  How wrong they were and how good Waterfall is. ;D ;D ;D

Quoted from MarinerDevil

What happens there then?  Do they have to replay the full game?

Yes

Who's that team they call the Grimsby?

Yes, but next game would be soon enough.

County getting a tonking now 👀 looks like it be a tough game for us coming up.

Altringham equalise 2-2. Puts us second on goals scored.

Useless town if we don't score a 7th to put us top 😉

Quoted from Marinerdan

Altringham equalise 2-2. Puts us second on goals scored.

Yes!!  A late goal from Waterfall will put us top

Disgraceful 2nd half performance should fine them all a weeks wages

Boo Hurst out 6 nil not good enough we wanted 10  ;D ;D ;D

You know what?  Fair play to Dover for not resorting to cheating and dirty footie.

6-0 Can't ask for more whoever you are playing, well excited for my trip to Altrincham on Tuesday.

Darn, only game ive missed this season, just got back from Cotswolds, Motorhome wouldnt go any faster, flooded in the south, well done Town, onwards and upwards :)

Fenty 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Terrific reaction to a defeat. This is a team.

Scunny bottom.   Altrinchm will be a tough game on Tuesday.  A real test.  They have two games in hand and could go top if they win them.  

Superb reaction to two tough results, just what we needed.

Taylor nonchelant enough to play carrying his coat.

Quoted from DB

Yellow for that foul, disgusting ref and sounds like the fans agree. Poor ref AGAIN.

Honestly I think that generally he was ok, but that was a mighty poor decision and according Luke Waterfall he said it was because it was too far from the goal, which is bollox, non-existent reasoning.

Funny isn't it. In previous seasons the Fishy has only been this busy when we lost!

Quoted from buckstown

5913 (25 from Dover)

25 Dover Souls!

Yeah, but when did banging in six goals ever get you three points in a Saturday?

Well, I criticised the ref, rightly so. But I didn't realise was what the outcome of his decision would be. That his decision would urge both the team and the fans on.

What a fantastic decision he made which enabled 6 goals and the top spot. So instead of my criticism I would like to praise I'm for his help.

Quoted from moosey_club

Put me in mind of a young Dave Moore. Squat and muscular; more of a traditional defensive full back than Efete. Looked like he'd been there all season, but he wasn't tested at all.

According to Waterfall on RH he asked the ref why it wasn't a red and was told that it was too far out. Didn't think that mattered if he was the last man?

It wasn’t the same ref as against Bristol Rovers was it,  “didn’t want to ruin the game” well his decision definitely did not ruin today’s game.
