Seriously hard game this one, the good news is we have Jack Parkinson and One Joe back from suspension and available for selection. They are going to come right out the blocks at us early and if we can win the early battle then the pitch will be perfect for our passing and pace.
Jamie has got a few options for this one.
IF we can win this will put us in a really strong position going into Mondays game at Staines.

For those not there today, heres a great interview of Browney with Dover's camera crew who for me has got the game today 100% correct. Browney is their Assistant Manager.

Much as I am admirer of One Joe, his discipline must be bought into question. Three sendings off and today for what seems to have been throwing the ball into an opponents facae having just been booked according to the radio is sensless-today was his first game back after suspension.
I dont know how long the ban is, but I am assuming that it wont be less than the four he did last time. To have been sent off again at such a crucial time for us is a bit of blow. However in Jamie we trust and he has signed a couple of players recently who should be capable.
One Joe wont need reminding tonight that he is a silly boy
Interesting on Radio Kent that Daisy said that the ref had a quiet word walking off at half time to say that one more Kinch foul and he would be off.....hence the sub errrrr...yes Healy who went anyway!!!
Listened to Jamie Day's interview on Radio Kent and was shocked to hear that he had made a substitution at half time because the ref told him "one more bad tackle and Scott Kinch will be off". I feel it is not the referees place to make comments like this to the managers which will influence their decisions
Reading the relevant section of the FA disciplinary handbook, my interpretation is that Joe will get a three match ban, one match for a dismissal for two yellow cards plus a further two due to it being his third red card of the season. In view of the nature of the yellow cards, I imagine Jamie must be considering fining him as well.
As is goes do players not get booked for celebrating in the crowd because if they do Jack was lucky not to get a second yellow and see red today for his celebration!! Another silly sending off could have happened!! Healy was silly today and he keeps doing it!! All he needs now is a red card for deliberate hand ball and his got the full house- Diving, violent conduct, time wasting!!
Take nothing away from what a massive win today was in terms of making the playoffs. Well done boys but we must watch our discipline it will come back to bite us!!

Interviews with Jamie Day and Craig Holloway up later tonight. Highlights tomorrow. IMHO never a penalty and you will not see a better penalty save than Holloway's today, drilled along ground just inside post and he got down and turned it behind.
We were the better team over all and the stupid thing is with Joe we controlled the second half played all the football then he does that. Hes too good a player for us to be sitting in the stand for 10 or more games due to red cards.

Joe is unlucky ... Ruiz dropped him to the ground and seems to have barged him and the refs not seen it, Then obvioulsy Joe has felt hard done by when booked and thrown the ball when theyve got in his face again. Think if the ref sees their keeper do what he did he would have sent him off.

An unusually good interview from oppo. Was a good player at Charlton.
