VIDEO: MANAGER REACTION

Boss Andy Hessenthaler speaks to the camera following Dover’s 1-0 win at Boreham Wood on Tuesday night.

 

PREVIEW: BOREHAM WOOD V WHITES

Whites go in search of their first away National League win this season when they travel to Hertfordshire on Tuesday night.

Boss Andy Hessenthaler, who may hand a debut to recent signing Alfie Pavey, will be aware of how strong Luke Garrard’s side have been at home this season.

Wood have lost just once in the league at Meadow Park this campaign, a 4-2 defeat to Harrogate Town back in September.

Three of the Dover’s squad will be familiar with their surroudings on Tuesday evening.

Winger Anthony Jeffrey featured 53 times for Boreham Wood during three separate spells, scoring nine times.  Striker Inih Effiong played 48 games, netting eight times during two periods with the club and Jai Reason represented tonight’s opponents on 15 occasions.

FYLDE’S KEY MAN

The Coasters broke their transfer record to bring talented midfielder Ryan Croasdale to Mill Farm from Kidderminster Harriers in the summer.  The former England C captain has already shown his worth with some impressive displays in the middle of the park for his side.

PAVEY JOINS ATHLETIC

Dover Athletic are delighted to confirm the signing of striker Alfie Pavey.

The 23-year-old England C international, who will wear the number 14 shirt, arrives at Crabble from fellow National League side Havant & Waterlooville for an undisclosed fee.

After spending his youth career with Maidstone, Pavey joined Championship side Millwall.

In his three years with the Lions, Pavey, who met his new team-mates ahead of Saturday’s clash with Hartlepool, spent time on loan with Barnet, Bromley, Aldershot, Hampton and Richmond and Dartford.

Following a brief spell with Welling United at the start of last season, Pavey returned to Dartford, scoring 28 goals in 38 matches and winning the National League South Player of the Season.

He joined promoted Havant & Waterlooville last June and scored four times in 19 appearances, including the Hawk’s second goal at Crabble in a 4-3 defeat in August.
