PREVIEW: GATESHEAD V WHITES
Dover travel to Tyne and Wear on Saturday hoping to build on Tuesday night’s encouraging display at Bromley.
A late penalty denied Chris Kinnear’s men all three points, but Athletic’s boss will no doubt be impressed with his side’s level of performance in the 2-2 draw at Hayes Lane.
However, this weekend’s opponents Gateshead, tipped by many to struggle in the National League this campaign following a decision to go part-time, start Saturday’s game with a maximum points tally so far.
Steve Watson’s men followed up an opening 3-1 win at Maidenhead with a 2-1 win home against Salford City in midweek.
WHAT THE GAFFERS SAY
DOVER ASSISTANT JAKE LEBERL
“Gateshead have gone with a younger squad this season, which can sometimes help as it allows their boss to create his thing there now. They have started really well and we are expecting a very difficult game.”
GATESHEAD BOSS STEVE WATSON
“Dover will be a different type of challenge than Salford, but saying that they were using the same tactics that Dover might do on Saturday. We showed on Tuesday night we can play football when we really want to.”
GATESHEAD PLAYER TO WATCH
Striker Luke Armstrong, son of former Premier League striker Alun, has hit three goals in his side’s two opening two National League fixtures, including a double on his competive home debut against Salford City.

PREVIEW: BROMLEY V WHITES
Whites make the short trip to Hayes Lane on Tuesday night aiming to bounce back from an opening day defeat.
Chris Kinnear’s men lost by a single goal in their National League opener at home to Wrexham on Saturday and will hope they can achieve a result they were unable to last campaign.
Dover and Bromley played eachother four times last season, with Athletic losing and drawing twice in those matches.
Neil Smith’s Bromley will also be aiming to recover from their own disappointing start to the season following a 2-1 defeat at Fylde.
Jordan Higgs’ fine second half finish cancelled out Andy Bond’s earlier tap-in. However Danny Rowe’s winner 20 minutes from time handed Dave Challinor’s side the three points.
WHAT THE GAFFERS SAY
DOVER BOSS CHRIS KINNEAR
“Obviously we will look at how we did against Wrexham and also how Bromley did. We will be in for training Monday to prepare for Tuesday night.
“Saturday was part of our learning process, especially with so many young lads on the pitch. Hopefully the players have learnt from the last game and we can get a result at Bromley.”
BROMLEY BOSS NEIL SMITH
“We know what we did wrong against Fylde and we will look to put that right on Tuesday night. Dover will be a difficult game, they are strong and direct and there are no surprises about we are coming into.
“But we will prepare for the game as normal and with our home crowd behind us, hopefully we can get our first win of the season.”
BROMLEY PLAYER TO WATCH
Roger Johnson brings a lot of experience to the Bromley defence. The 35-year-old played 107 Premier League games for Birmingham, Wolves and West Ham.
