PREVIEW: WHITES V SUTTON

It’s the season finale this Saturday lunchtime as Athletic aim to continue their impressive form.

Three points at Crabble would see Andy Hessenthaler’s men extend their current winning streak to four matches and make it nine National League matches without defeat.

Sutton United play their first game since the resignation of boss Paul Doswell earlier this week.  Having temporarily stepped down from his role last month to take a break from football, Doswell announced his permanent departure from Gander Green Lane for personal reasons.

Current interim manager Ian Baird will remain in charge for Saturday’s match.

Home fans might recognise a familar face in the visiting squad this weekend.

Defender Aswad Thomas played 68 times for Dover during two seasons, scoring five goals.
