Sittingbourne boss Gary Abbott to give on loan Carl Dent his first start
08:00, 29 January 2010
Sittingbourne boss Gary Abbott hopes that Carl Dent will give a lift to the club's Ryman League Division 1 South play-off push.
Abbott (pictured) will hand on-loan Dartford midfielder Dent his first start in Saturday's trip to fellow play-off hopefuls Ramsgate and also hopes to have signed a higher-division striker in time for the league clash at Whyteleafe on Tuesday.
The Brickies lie 11th in the table but only eight points off the play-off places, with between two and four games in hand on the sides above them which include the eighth-placed Rams.
Abbott said: "Ramsgate will be tough but it is important we get on another run because all we are thinking about is getting in that top five.
"We have a good chance with the addition of Carl Dent and a forward who will hopefully be with us by the weekend."
Elie Kayembe is a doubt with a tight groin for Saturday, while Jimmy Bottle could miss the game due to his hamstring strain.
