Dover Match Thread

2 very winnable games coming up. Squad rotation will be prominent I hear so no idea what the starting 11 will be. I expect a minimum of 4 points.

Dover 0-2 Alty (Colclough, Kosylo)

I think we should play the same team unless injuries dictate otherwise.
Our best eleven is fully capable of getting six points from the next two games.
If we can also win our final game and pick up a draw at either Notts County or Bromley we'll have reached the 60 point mark which is an amazing return in this league.
Having said that, almost half of our points will have come from games against the bottom five (28 I think?)
Improvement next season has to come with better results against the mid-table clubs which would put us well in the top half of the league.
Something to aim for?

After last season's (admittedly entertaining) shenanigans at Dover, when Radio Robins was abruptly forced off air just as the commentary on the match was about to commence, will Flynny et al. be permitted to broadcast from The Crabble on Saturday?

I'm fully expecting a rematch with Flynny suitably genned up on some new expletives l

I'm forecasting a 2/1/2 record from the final five games which will take us to 57 - although Saturday won't be straightforward.

I'm assuming 2 defeats at Notts County and Bromley and two wins and a draw for the other three? You could be right.

I'm guessing there'll be no RR coverage again on Saturday. I emailed Dover about last year's debacle, but they didn't have the courtesy to respond (OK, I didn't hold back, but still....)

Dover are now just playing for the pride of finishing with more than zero points. We can't assume a pushover.

I feel they should have been relegated after their refusal to complete the season, and so my message is:

COME ON ALTY - WIN IT FOR FLYNNY !!!

From the official club website:

'There will be no live Radio Robins coverage from The Crabble Athletic Ground on Saturday. This is due to Dover Athletic not permitting us to broadcast from the ground, due to an existing deal they have in place with the BBC.'


Possible meagre substitute:

I used it last year. It was rubbish. They spent more time on Maidstone and Dartford than our higher division game. Hopefully Twitter will give me updates.

Did the lads travel down South today to enable them to be fresh and raring to go tomorrow?

They surely must have done.
