*BS*Whites romped to a 4-1 win over Lincoln City in a dominant display at Crabble on Tuesday.*BF*

A sublime Stefan Payne free kick set them on their way early on, before Ricky Miller doubled the lead after half time and Payne added a third. Lincoln pulled one back, but Miller completed the rout with a stunning long range effort.

Understandably, manager Chris Kinnear was full of praise for his players. He said: “It could have been seven or eight and we missed open goals practically, but the lads did a great job. (Tom) Murphy, Chris (Kinnear) and Craig (Braham-Barrett) came in and did great, whilst (Jamie) Grimes is back fit now. We may be getting injuries, but the players coming in are so much part of the squad and nobody is letting anyone down as they don’t want to.”

Though the front two will claim the headlines, Kinnear praised all areas of the team: “Defensively, we were strong as they were a handful physically up front. In the midfield we won knock-downs because it was not a game we could play and we just had to try to keep getting it forward. It was just one of those games where we had just got to dig in and tonight we did everything right.”

Kinnear’s men have risen to fourth in the table, but manager Chris has urged caution as the play off race hots up: “There’s 10 games to go and 30 points to play for. Lincoln are a decent side and they came here to attack us. It’s more difficult when sides sit back, but that’s part and parcel of it when you are doing well and we have got to find solutions. The spirit is very high, but we must not get carried away.”

Dover face a trip to Guiseley this Saturday, a side they recently beat 3-0 in the FA Trophy. Kinnear said: “They will be looking for revenge and have a bit of pride. They also need to get a few points to stay up and it is not always easy against sides down there. The pitch is not great there, but if we want to be successful then that is what we have to overcome.”

“Fortunately no-one extra got injured and Ricky Modeste should be back, but all the lads have faith in whoever is playing’.

*IS**BS*Dover Athletic vs Lincoln City – Vanarama National League
Tuesday 15th March 2016 – 7.45pm kick-off
Referee: Richard Martin*BF**IF*

*BS*HEADLINES*BF*
A good display at Crabble on Saturday saw Whites pick up a point in a 0-0 draw against Tranmere Rovers – a point that, given the number of games each side has remaining, was worth more to Dover than their newly-relegated opponents.

It was the hosts who controlled the play and came closest to scoring, with Sean Raggett’s header hitting the crossbar late in the second half, and Mitch Walker kept comparatively quiet in the home goal.

That draw saw Whites drop a side to seventh, but actually end up closer to the playoffs than at the start of the day – it’s now a gap of two points, compared to three prior to kick-off.

Tuesday evening sees Lincoln City come to Crabble to try and pick up three points for their own playoff charge. A good run of form has seen The Imps win four of their last six matches in the Vanarama National League, but they will need to continue this momentum to have any chance of securing a top-five finish come the end of April. The sides met at Sincil Bank in January, with a brace from Ricky Miller and a Nicky Deverdics penalty earning an impressive 3-2 victory.

A win for Dover could see them finish the evening in 4th place, whilst three points for the visitors could see them edge ever close to the playoff spots.

With games rapidly running out, it’s time for both sides to show their true colours..

*BS*THE OPPOSITION*BF*
Name: Lincoln City FC | Manager: Chris Moyses
Ground: Sincil Bank | Nickname: The Imps

Lincoln City have played in the Conference Premier since the season 2011–12. Following relegation, Tilson released all but three members of the squad, telling them they had no future at Sincil Bank. By early October, Lincoln were one point above relegation zone and the management were coming under-fire after a run of one win in four; Tilson was sacked as manager on the 10 October 2011 following a 4–0 defeat at Tamworth. Following the duo’s sacking, Grant Brown was put in temporary charge.

Brown remained in charge for four games, winning the first but none of the subsequent three, before former Mansfield Town manager David Holdsworth was confirmed as manager. Holdsworth managed the Imps to safety but only by 8 points; furthermore, Lincoln lost to Isthmian League outfit Carshalton Athletic in the FA Trophy and suffered an earliest FA Cup exit since 1924–25.

Lincoln were one game away from facing Liverpool in the FA Cup third round the following season, but were denied by a second round replay defeat to Mansfield Town. On 17 February 2013, David Holdsworth left the club by mutual consent following twelve games without a win. On 27 February 2013, Gary Simpson, a former assistant of Keith Alexander during his time at the club, was appointed manager until the end of the season. Safety was secured on the final day with a 5-1 away win against Hyde.

After a good start to the 2013-14 season, Lincoln went on a run of just two wins in seventeen games saw the Imps embroiled in relegation trouble once more. From the start of February to the end of the season, Lincoln lost just three games, and finished 14th in the league, their best placing since relegation. Gary Simpson was placed on gardening leave on 3 November 2014. Assistant manager Chris Moyses was placed in temporary charge and then appointed permanently on 8 December 2014. Lincoln finished 15th that season.

*BS*RECENT FORM*BF*
Coming into the game, Whites have a record of three wins, one draw and two defeats in their last six Vanarama National League matches. Wins were picked up against Gateshead (4-0), Woking (1-0) and Welling United (2-1), with Saturday’s draw against Tranmere Rovers (0-0) and defeats suffered against Cheltenham Town (1-2) and Southport (1-2).

Lincoln’s record over the same number of matches shows four wins and two draws. Their victories came against Guiseley (1-0), Eastleigh (3-0), Southport (3-1) and Aldershot Town (2-0), with draws against Altrincham (3-3) and Macclesfield Town (1-1).

*BS*HOME AND AWAY*BF*
At home, Dover have the fifth best record in the division, with ten wins and four draws in eighteen Vanarama National League matches at Crabble.

Away from home this season, Lincoln have the eleventh best record in the division, with six wins and five draws accumulated from eighteen matches on their travels.

Vanarama National League – Lincoln City 2-3 Dover Athletic
Hotshot Ricky Miller scored twice as Whites came from behind on two occasions to beat Lincoln City 3-2 in an entertaining clash at Sincil Bank.

The hosts had taken the lead in the first half, but Miller’s first shortly before the interval sent the sides into the break on even terms.

City took the lead shortly after the break, before a penalty from Nicky Deverdics and an excellent solo effort from Miller sealed an excellent comeback for Chris Kinnear’s men.

Lincoln threw everything at Whites in the closing stages, but a resolute Dover defence saw little threat created by an increasingly desperate Imps attack. In fact, it was Miller who had the best chance of the remaining minutes, with Miller once again the protagonist – only a good reaction stop from Farman saw his hat-trick denied.

Full credit goes to Dover for their character and continued determination, with their never-say-die attitude yielding three points once again.*IF*

*BS*TEAM NEWS*BF*
Whites were boosted by the return of Jamie Grimes to action on Saturday, with the defender having now recovered from injury. Tyrone Sterling, Liam Bellamy and Aswad Thomas remain doubtful for Whites, meaning that Craig Braham-Barrett – signed last week – is likely to be given the nod at left wing-back, after an impressive debut against Tranmere Rovers at the weekend.

Dover are likely to name an unchanged starting line-up for Tuesday’s game, with Jack Parkinson likely to continue at centre-back following his man-of-the-match display on Saturday.

*BS*TOP SCORERS*BF*
Lincoln’s top scorer in the league this season is Matt Rhead, who has the found the back of the net nineteen times.

Whites’ top scorer in the league is Ricky Miller with fifteen goals, two ahead of Stefan Payne and three more than Nicky Deverdics.

OUR new ¶œ1,325,000 Family Stand will take centre stage at Crabble on Saturday, November 19.

It will officially be opened ahead of the National League clash with Guiseley.

The celebration will feature as part of the Family and Diversity Day ƒ?? and there will be so much on offer when the gates open at 12 noon.

The modern design includes 500 seats and will provide the club with Football League standard dressing rooms, refereeƒ??s changing rooms and medical room, as well as a new location for the control room where our matchday safety operations will be run out of.

There will also be extra toilet facilities and dedicated viewing areas for disabled supporters.

The impressive construction features Glulam, which was made in sections and brought over from Bosnia, before being assembled on site while the seating is from Scandanavia.

It was built with grants covering around ¶œ400,000 of the cost while the balance came from chairman Jim Parmenter and sponsorship.

The chairman said: ƒ??We are investing into developing and improving Crabble to meet the updated Football League criteria, and also to provide a better matchday experience for our supporters ƒ?? including those with disabilities.

ƒ??We hope that supporters enjoy the new facilities and what else we have got planned on the day.ƒ?

To add to the celebrations, there will be FREE hot dogs for kids (limits apply), FREE goodie bags and plenty of pre-match entertainment, including the Vista Twisters Cheerleading Team.

More details about whatƒ??s planned will be revealed as the big day approaches!

The club has also given tickets to all 52 Dover district schools to allow students to attend the day and savour the Crabble experience.

The day also represents the launch of our ONE TOWN, ONE TEAM, ONE DOVER campaign.
