PREVIEW: WOKING V WHITES

By Webteam

Dover will be aiming to beat Woking for the fifth consecutive National League game when we head to Surrey on Tuesday night.

Chris Kinnear’s side remained fifth on the National League ladder after beating Eastleigh 3-0 at Crabble on Saturday but the boss is not taking the impressive record against the Cards for granted – far from it.

He said: “It’s always difficult at Woking – it will be a hard game, there is no doubt about that.

“Gary Hill (Woking manager) has been in this game for a long time and he knows how to get results.

“They may not have enjoyed the best of times recently but they are a decent side with some very good players in it.

“You can rest assured that we are not taking anything for granted – we never do.”

WOKING’S RECENT FORM

The Cards are currently 20th on the National League ladder after losing 4-3 at Forest Green Rovers last Saturday.

Keanu Marsh-Brown put the hosts ahead in the 37th minute before Woking equalised through Joey Jones’ stunning long range effort.

Woking hit the lead through Gozie Ugwu before Christian Doidge replied for Forest Green.

Darren Carter had a penalty saved by Woking goalkeeper Michael Poke with 23 minutes remaining but Omar Bugiel scored twice to make it 4-2 to the hosts before Woking reduced the deficit through Terell Thomas in stoppage time.
In their past two home games, Woking drew 0-0 with Southport after beating Solihulll Moors 2-1.
