PREVIEW: WHITES VS BRAINTREE TOWN

PREVIEW: SOLIHULL MOORS VS WHITES

DOVER will be looking to get back to winning ways in the National League when we make a history making trip to the West Midlands on Saturday.

Whites, who lost 4-1 against Tranmere Rovers at Crabble in their last league outing, face competition new boys Solihull Moors for the first time.

And there will be a couple of new faces in both camps for the clash at Damson Park.

Dover boss Chris Kinnearƒ??s squad will include new signing Joe Healy for the first time following the midfielderƒ??s arrival from Maidstone United.

Kinnear will also have a new counterpart ƒ?? Keith Bertschin.

The former Birmingham City striker was named as Solihullƒ??s new head coach on Wednesday after manager Marcus Bignot left for League Two side Grimsby Town.

The 60-year-old Bertschin has previously worked as now Aston Villa boss Steve Bruceƒ??s assistant over a nine-year period in the top two tiers of English football at Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, Sunderland and Hull City.

Bertschinƒ??s side will start the game 15th on the National League ladder, eight places and nine points behind Kinnearƒ??s.
