Dover Athletic boss Martin Hayes says his side are the one the Blue Square Bet South big guns want to fall out of the promotion race over the final four games.

Hayes (pictured) said his side will be the ones to avoid should they make the promotion play-offs because of their unparalleled success in cup competitions this season.

Whites are sitting one place and one point outside the top five but Hayes says failure to secure a play-off place would be popular with other promotion-chasers.

He said: "If you look at all the sides that are up there, they are all the big boys – the sides with all the money and the best players.

"Nobody is going to want to play us. They are all looking at us and hoping we don’t make it.

"When you get into the play-offs it becomes a cup competition and everyone knows what we can do in cup games."
