Dover out to improve away-day form

TWO tough-looking away trips are next up for Dover Athletic as they aim to improve on their paltry return of just two points from seven away games.
Whites’ away record is the worst in the Dr Martens League Premier Division and in stark contrast to their home record which is the best in the division.
Saturday sees Dover travel to the south west to face 10th-placed Tiverton Town. The two sides have already met this season when goals from Tommy Tyne and Craig Wilkins gave Whites a 2-1 victory in August.
Next Tuesday, Dover are away to this season’s surprise outfit, Hinckley Athletic, in a re-arranged game.
After escaping relegation on the final day of the season many pundits felt that Hinckley would struggle again this time, but they are currently ninth in the table.
Dover's only injury doubts at the moment are defenders Dean Readings and Andy Arnott, who are suffering with knee and calf problems respectively. They trained on Tuesday and new manager Richard Langley is confident that both will be fit to face Tiverton.
* Dover have been drawn away to Kent rivals Welling United in the second round of the FA Trophy on Saturday, November 29.
